Hopefully ratchet and clank will finally show us the potential of what direct storage can do. IIRC, the game was very heavily made with direct storage in mind i.e. the way new levels get loaded but being pc and the past year of **** optimised games, I'll fully expect another disaster

i dont think anyone has gone back and tested old drivers, there is the distinction between it being on the list of known issues and still happening but not known yet :)

I've seen reports that say people first noticed it in 516.94, although I guess it might not be in patch notes until a bit later. I'd be more worried about it being and issue than it being in the patch notes though.

What exactly does this latency thing affect? Can't say I have noticed any issues but not sure what exactly I should be looking for?

I think it's mostly to do with audio processing. Not sure if it'd affect gaming but audio (maybe including video+audio) processing.
I mean it specifically refers to the app LatencyMon, but I've no idea what that is and guess it's just what people used to spot/show the issue rather than being a thing people were trying to use.

Ah ok, might be why then, I use 2.0 active speakers with an asus essence stx sound card. So an issue for when using HDMI to output sound to say a tv/monitor speakers?

The latest driver update from NVIDIA, version 535.98, introduces some interesting changes that aren't listed in the release note:

File Size Reduction: The file size has been significantly reduced with this update. The new file size is 653.5MB, representing a decrease of approximately 23% compared to the previous version (532.03) which was 855.18MB.

GPU Decompression Optimizations: The 535.98 driver incorporates GPU decompression optimizations, building upon the improvements introduced in the 535.50 beta version. These optimizations are specifically designed to enhance the performance and efficiency of Gen5 SSDs.

To gain a better understanding of the enhancements and witness the benefits firsthand, you can watch the video linked below, which highlights the GPU decompression optimizations for Gen5 SSDs:

I wonder if those decompression optimizations will affect Gen 3 or 4 SSD's in any positive way ?

Nvidia's latest Windows WHQL driver 535.98 causing black screen flickering

Display driver issues are a pretty common occurrence and it looks like Nvidia's latest Windows driver, which is WHQL-signed, is affected. The new driver is apparently causing display flickering.

I have during Battlefield 2042...

Monitor just turned itself off, and then back on again. No driver crashes noted
