**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[BananaDunka]

So I did some testing in RDR2. I normally game at 2560x1080 as I like to have settings on mostly Ultra but for this I put it to 3440x1440. 2070 Super Gaming btw.

DX12, HAGS on:
Min: 28.38
Average: 53.46
Max: 85.8

DX12, HAGS off:
Min: 40.11
Average: 53.12
Max: 75.41

Vulkan, HAGS on:
Min: 43.18
Average: 52.43
Max: 69.49

Vulkan, HAGS off:
Min: 43.67
Average: 53.24
Max:71.29

So.... Not much diff at all lol. Vulkan has the best lowest framerate so I will be leaving it on with Vulkan.

If you're not seeing 12_2 in DXDIAG or Nvidia Control Panel System Info, then it isn't installed...and you have the same problem as me & Raiden85, the 2004 Windows update hasn't installed it on your PC.

Come & Join us, misery loves company.

Although having said the above in my reply, just checked NVCPL system info and see that it's 12_1, even though Windows 10 gives me the option to turn on and off HAGS

Try seeing if you still have Ray Tracing available, if you have any Ray tracing games that is, when I install the new driver, DX12 Ray Tracing is no longer available in games...

 

[BananaDunka]

I have Metro Exodus but that's not installed as I completed it pre-2004 install and was using RayTracing in that back then! Is there no demo with RTX we can try to test with?

 

[ketma]

Is there anyone that does see 12_2 in DXdiag ?

Is Quake RTX a valid test?

 

[BananaDunka]

I just ran an nVidia RTX tech demo and that ran fine so raytracing is clearly working. It's a Windows thing it would seem for sure. Maybe it's just not reporting 12_2 at least in my case but RTX is working all fine.

Anything that makes use of RT will do.

 

[BananaDunka]

Just tried Quake RTX and it too played with RTX renderer. FPS wa spoor however at desktop resolution (24fps!) but I think this is expected with global illumination etc all on.

 

[ketma]

Well it worked ok, no issues.

 

[breathe3asy]

Based on the posts in here so far this would be my next question too

 

[Raiden85]

At last I'm not alone

Everything works great including Nvidia's ray tracing tech demos so I'm blaming MS

 

[hyperseven]

Who said it would be 12_2

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/announcing-directx-12-ultimate/#comment-92

.We will be adding a 12_2 feature level in the API in the next update to Windows after 20H1. For now, all the features that make up DirectX 12 Ultimate are implemented ready for games to start using, but the feature level enum itself is not yet implemented,

I'm on 20H2 and still 12_1

 

[LoadsaMoney]

lol

 

[Simon Belmont]

This is still all new. Give it time. They'll get it right eventually.

 

[BananaDunka]

So basically all features are working fine, it's just not enumerated in the API level yet hence displaying 12_1. Makes more sense now

Nobody needs to fret then!

These made COD Modern Warfare a terrible stuttery mess

Do NOT upgrade to 451.48 and Windows 10 version 2004 if you want to play COD. What a shower of turds it made the game
I reverted back to 445.87 which made it slightly better but there was still some very annoying random stuttering

Restored my whole OS drive (back to version 1909) and it's back to normal, no problems.

If it aint broke, don't fix it!

Like Win 10? There is literally more than double, Almost x3 the latency from Pre creators update on Nvidia. I noticed some games even at 280hz still are not up to standard for me.


Its been ages and no one has done anything about it. Most do not even know it happened!

Super smooth for me with a 2070 super.
