**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[Dicehunter]

Looking for feedback on Techpowrups NVCleanstall, Does it offer any tangible gains in FPS or frame times etc... ?

On my side, working well with rtx2060 and rtx3060. In games I have like 1-2fps less then R530 driver in latest insider but it is full working and stable and ifvyou care opencl does work in this. Any way much faster than latest official in terms of framerate performance. Depend on game and location you can see gains from 5% to 10% more fps, maybe in some titles more.

Na, I do miss some and also I regularly check guru3d! These drivers are very very good, probably the ones they are going to release at some point with the 4090's

 

[Alexrose1uk]

Will give 522.06 a whirl. Typically I only grabbed latest clean drivers off guru a few days back and missed these!

 

[breathe3asy]

How does one go abouts installing these drivers? Usually I boot to safe mode and DDU my old ones and install new ones offline...

Nvmd I found a local installer on the forum link that was included

 

[pastymuncher]

I just install straight over the top and never had any problems. I use the "cleaned" version of the drivers as I only install the actual driver and physx driver and don't want or need any of the garbage that is in the official downloads.

I'd be interested to know how many NVIDIA drivers you have showing in driver store explorer as in my head having more than one doesn't sit right with me...

Pretty sure he won't need to use it now, but iirc @TNA was using it when he was trying to get games to run the highest settings available within 8Gb.

Waiting for an all clear after a couple of weeks from the folk here before I jump on the new driver. Current one has been solid.

 

[Tired9]

I am on the leatest build of Windows on 516.94 and have had no issues.

 

[Tired9]

522.06 installed without issues.

Run a few games let me know if the suggested few % fps improves if you get chance.

Tested on my system at 1440P and 4K in a few games and benchmarks, Saw no changes, Positive or negative, Compared to the latest official.
