Additional note on the 572.42 drivers (open issue):

"PC may bugcheck IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL 0xa during gameplay with HDR enabled [5091576]"

This or a closely related issue seems to cause a complete unexpected reboot on my 4080 Super (not set to restart automatically on BSOD). Though it seems to be an either/or thing with the nVidia App Overlay - having both on seems to cause the issue, can run with one or the other but not both.

Upgraded to 572.42 and will see how DLSS 4 is with Indian Jones when the patch is live. Can always revert back if its buggy.

Just don't bother doing the override via the app, apply it globally via profileinspector then all games will use the latest dlss dll files and preset K all the time.

This is kind of embarrassing though. There seems to be so many issues with the drivers and even more so the app.
 
I've been away for the last few weeks - is someone able to give me the TLDR?

I'm yet to update drivers for the new transformer model, do all games get a performance boost or just DLSS titles?

Preset J? Preset K? Force via Inspector or change with DLSS tweaks? I know my current driver forces Preset E by default.

(I only install the driver, no Geforce Experience or additional apps)
 
Still seeing loads of issues with 572.42 with my 3070 - in fact worse that 724.24
Still a bug with hardware accleration of video in chrome based browsers and also in firefox
also now an issue with video in Steam app as well

Went back to 565.90 no issues

nvidia by far now producing the worse drivers (as well as **** poor video card designs and cable connectors)
 
Im really finding it annoying that the nvidia app is changing settings to my games, loaded up Witcher 3 and was wondering why it was running like crap and it changed it to 4k res :cry: my poor little 3070 cant handle that.

You may have turned on automatic optimization.

It asks you if you want this the first time you fire up the Nvidia App.
