**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[humbug]

No problems with Nvidia's 500< series drivers, Windows Desktop Manager barely even registers on the CPU, 0.1% and 38MB

 

[stooeh]

Shows an average 0.34% for dwm for me 30MB RAM usage with the 'buggy' 500 drivers, can't be bothered downgrading since it doesn't seem to be negatively impacting anything

Since moving to the latest 5 series drivers from the 4 series I have noticed that Nvidia broadcast is now pinning my 3080 is low power 3d clocks (1755mhz) and pulling 100 watts.. Never used to do this..

What about recoding? i don't do much broadcasting but a lot of recording and its perfectly fine, no discernible drop in performance and clocks are stable.

Does seem consistent but I'm seeing a black screen and then freezing in COD: Warzone; when I check event viewer I get "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" - I'm on the latest drivers; I already did a DDU and re-installed.
Is there anything else I can try?

Did you find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem with my 3080 in God of War and Forza Horizon 5. Crashes after anywhere from 20 seconds to an hour.

Did DDU and reinstall.
Ran card at stock.
Ran card at undervolt.
Ran Memtest86 for 24 hours, no errors.
Stopped various programs running at startup e.g. game launchers, razer synapse, icue, logitech G HUB, etc.


Nothing has worked!

So I upgraded from 49x drivers to the newest 511.79 to try DLDSR but I think its bugged for me. I'm using 2560x1440 and DSR 1.78x shows res as 2133x1200 and 2.25x as 2400x1350?
If using 1440p native what should the 1.78x and 2.25x resolutions be?

2.25 should be 4K

 

[greatash]

2.25 should be 4K

Thanks, I found the problem its my portrait monitor for some reason. When I unplug it the proper resolutions show up in DSR.

DWM spam seems to be fixed with this one
These newer Insider 11 drivers works on Win 10 Home for me as well with no issues installing them and I'm as n0oB as they come.

Quoting my post to say that these drivers have installed and working fine on Windows 10

That issue you've been complaining about for a while now...

• Increased registry reads by DWM.exe when GPU is connected to G-SYNC/G-SYNC Compatible display [3535493]

Is that while using G-Sync or just being connected to that display with G-Sync disabled?

Seems to be affecting G-Sync monitors in general, with or without G-Sync enabled

 

[Neil79]

Freeze ups and crashes in Battlefield 2042 same with the Windows 11 Insider Nvidia 515.36 drivers!

Back to NVIDIA GeForce 511.79 and all is well

 

[Dicehunter]

What did that DWM bug actually do ? Stop you from using G-Sync ?
