Oh!

Though I'm still on 471.xx but cool they've addressed Division 2.

Feel free to add the Nvidia download link, but that's a lot of issues that need fixing !!

All depends if you play any of those games. None of the issues affects anything I play atm.

I did read this regarding Warzone between two people who are obviously disagreeing with each other

call of duty black ops cold war - Issue fixed with 496.49
496.13 kills the game its the driver that brings that error period if the game has this or that nobody cares, ppl only care if works and with 496.13 the issue comes up , 496.49 does not

There was no change in 496.49 for the CoD issue, like has been told to you countless times the issue was a randomly occuring shader generation glitch that could happen on any system at any time where a fringe instability or bitflip occurred. all that 496.49 did was result in the shaders rebaking. until Activision resolves the fault on the game client, any time the shaders rebake, its just going to be swapping around people that have the access violation.

Is Nvidia ever to to get around to doing a new, modern control panel?

The current one is just so S---L---O---W and clunky.

How long to populate the list of games, when customising settings!

I just tried and it took like half a second. The control panel might be ugly, but I've never found it to be slow. Are you using a mechanical drive?

nvidia control panel is so much faster than AMD's even modifying custom settings AMD is all animation & no go.

The AMD method looks the business but very sluggy

Nvidia's is pretty confusing to navigate still, though. Even with AMDs excessive animations, at least I could find what I was looking for

You can turn the animations off in the settings. I haven't had any issues with AMD's control panel either, personally. It's very nice.

You'll not remember Catalyst Control Center? (CCC) back in its day. Now that was horrible. It could take 45 seconds to just over a minute to load in the XP days. It wouldn't work without dot Net.

Nvidia control panel is dog **** compared to amds imo. Probably the only con going for nvidia when it comes to drivers/software.

V F · 27 Oct 2021 at 16:44

How so? It loads in one to two seconds for me. Changes also apply one to three seconds.

Dated looking, not as quick/easy to do things in my experience.

Not really an issue though since I am literally never in the control panel anyway.

THX1138 · 28 Oct 2021 at 12:55

for me the nvidia control panel has never changed much and i like that sort of consistency

Even if they keep same layout and just refresh the icons at least they would have done something, fed up of seeing 20yr old Windows XP icons still. It's lazy for something that would be really quick change.

I think Nvidia need to raise the prices of their cards to afford the software update.

I never ever load the control panel for anything, didn't even know it existed still until now. I do everything via GeForce Experience that I need and don't touch anything else!
