Anyone one else having issues when switching from 3D to 2D graphic applications on a 5080? The 2D crashes for me, I then have to Alt + Tab back into the 3D (e.g Game > Youtube > Game).
 
Another Hot fix driver released.


Fixes the following -

  • Slight banding may be observed on gradients in SDR color mode [5720512]
  • Colors are not applied correctly when using Digital Vibrance [5718365]

ooooo, @Neil79 is great with hotfix and beta drivers .....

5...4....3....2....1....Go

Another month another hotfix to fix the latest driver that fixed game issues and stuff but created new issues that need a new fix for.

Amazing.

Stay on old working studio drivers tbh :p
 
Not sure whether to post this in here or in the monitor thread (so i've done both) I have an AW3225QF and am trying to make a custom resolution so I can play arc raiders at 3840/1600 - basically to give my 3080 a bit of breathing room, but when I go into Nvidia control panel the customise button is greyed out and I can't make any changes. I'm not sure if this is to do with the DSC or what... can anyone help? I'm on 581.57 drivers. Thanks

Copilot may have the answer.

Apparently it's to do with DSC.
