**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

I've held off from updating drivers for a bit after seeing some people have issues, are these latest ones now good on 40 series cards?

Cheers Neil, I think I'll give them a go. Been wanting to do the DLSS override thing and the current drivers are too old.

Not sure if mentioned yet on here, and I know there aren't many 50 series owners relatively, but the latest 572.xx drivers i.e .the only ones you can use with a 50 series card - Frame gen is completely ****** if you have Gsync on and Vsync on in the control panel. Which is the recommended setup and how I have run my PCs for years.

See here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...x-framegen-v-sync-stutter-issues-you-are-not/ and chime in in you are having similar issues. Also submit a driver feedback form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...Z9eiefrdZmUGP9hMCN6gKssA/viewform?pli=1&pli=1

Also updated to Vulkan Developer Driver 572.81 and no problems either. It's a newer date build too

Has anyone else had issues using the nvidia statistics to show FPS etc? It works fine for a day or so, then just shows "N/A" and doesn't display gpu info etc, tried DDU/Fresh install and stop/starting the nvidia services but it just seems to stop working after a few days.

This has been an ongoing problem for a while now. Welcome to modern nVidia, who couldn't care less about gamers as long as they keep buying their overpriced cards.

Really annoying I just prefer to have everything in one place.

Mine does this occasionally after Stalker 2 locks up and a reboot fixes it
I've not had it happen any other times though and it would happen on both my old 4090 and on my 5090

I've had it from time to time on both a 4090 and 5090. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I've had this. Just add it to the massive list of glaring bugs with these latest drivers. Really poor show from Nvidia on this one. Trillion dollar company can't even make drivers any more.

I'm glad it's not just me having the issue, let's hope they get it fixed!

Until Nvidia pull their finger out, Use RTSS with Hwinfo, You can go very over the top with the amount of things you can monitor at any 1 time.

572.75 is solid for me, RTX 5070 Ti.

It's not the drivers causing this, it's the Nvidia App. The hardware monitoring is buggy
