**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[superleeds27]

So is it worth turning on HAGS in Windows 2004?

Running a 2070 Super at 1440p.

From what ive read/seen, id say no, only makes a slight difference in about 1 game, and shows nothing/negative in lots of others.

 

[breathe3asy]

I turned it off as it caused issues with OBS and negative performance in games such as Warzone, think the feature is still in its infancy

TBH features like this are more about setting the ground work for upcoming GPU (and OS) architectures than a benefit now - things like GPU scheduling will have to change a lot for things like MCM to become a reality outside of pure compute use.

try it! It’s not like getting married. For me BF5 feels a bit smoother But I have the perf graph on when I play

And Windows broken for years, Its the worst part of PC gaming the software is bloated trash. Hell the Nvidia driver UI has even got worse when i click apply now it does not lag as much, But it flickers like crazy with a 5s lag. I noticed some settings too dont stick first time i say to everyone..


After you do the driver setup settings, And for the game too not global reboot and after you ran the game just double check them.

Used Slimmer on the 451.85's, been a solid driver so far, can recommend.

Well, not quite. It's the XP era. It's got the same XP icons in the toolbar. It be worse if it was 1999. The icons would look like 16bit Windows 98/2000.
