**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[tommybhoy]

Interesting you mention this.

A mate bought a 1070ti and a Acer Predator 27" about a month ago.

He recently sent me a video of a band down the right hand side of the monitor which changes colour to the rest of the screen. It's like it's a part of a different panel.

He contacted the seller he bought from and they RMA'd the screen for a new one and yet this new monitor also shows the same issue. We've changed everything except for the GPU.

But it could be drivers?

^^^^^
(Only one instance of, it doesn't move across the screen or anything)
Essentially that is an exaggerated example of what happens with the pixel shifting, don't know if it's drivers/G-Sync/panel firmware(have read the same panel is in an Asus G-Sync and it exhibits the same problem), is it the same or different?

My PC is telling me there is a driver update and yet there isn't one on the Nvidia website.

Installed, no obvious changes but may of course be for new cards.

How did it jump from 399 to 411?

Ray Tracing.

Quantum leap driver for quantum leap cards of course.

Quantum leap driver for quantum leap cards of course.

Quantum leap in prices too.

Oh boy....

Is nvidia nerfing performance on kepler again? Latest drivers give a noticeable fps drop :/

Spoiler

And so it begins...

 

[Kelt]

Oh dear, and I thought the 399.24's were bad.

I'll stick to the 399.07's now the NvidiaNerf® has begun

1fps is surely within margin of error?

Same pattern every time Nvidia release a new card. Expect them to start lagging behind in new games.

I'm all for roasting nvidia for doing shady stuff(any company really) but lets just take a chill pill for a second. 1 FPS is within margin of error, besides the results swing both ways it seems. Nothing yet to see here, at least not from that graph

The gap will get bigger because they will stop optimising older cards for new games.

 

[Phixsator]

ohh, havent seen that one before. Well not that it is of much help to you but the latest driver set works fine on my win 8.1 install including gsync. Have you tried a redux install of the drivers? Ive done that for ages now and ever since i started remove most of the **** from the driver package most of my problems has went away.

Well i gotta take back what i wrote earlier..gsync is NOT working..not in window mode nor fullscreen. Tearing is gone yes, but i just couldn't put my finger on it at first, something was wrong. Loaded up the pendulum demo and my suspicion was confirmed. Stuttering/frameskips issues, whatever it is its annoying. its the same both in win 8.1 & win 10.. Gonna have to dig into this a bit more and see if i can find the root cause of this.

Really depends if the next 10 drivers come out with the same 1fps on previous, think about it

This is madness. How some lose their minds over 1 - 1.5fps. This reminds me of my once obsession running Quake 3 timedemo tests back in the GeForce 3 days in 2001.

1 Frame per driver. Adds up.

There is absolutely no evidence of driver gimping, and it's literally the most basic process ever in terms of actually proving it one way or the other.
