**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Anyone tried the new driver? ive been fine on whatever one im on, but will have to update i guess as getting battlefield 6.

Seems fine so far, only thing I've noticed is the bug when you enable smooth motion that lowers memory clock by 200Mhz+ seems to be back.

Any real world difference from Game Ready ?
 
Here's a question for you @Neil79

Is there a way of finding out which DLSS version the latest drivers ship with?

In the past if I wanted to update the DLSS to the latest version in a game, I just use DLSS Swapper. That usually tells you what version is the latest :)

New games tend to have updated DLSS versions than Nvidia's drivers, unless it's multiplayer like BF2042 :p

If this is true and you use the global setting in the app to override to the latest version of dlss, which does it use if the game ships with a newer version than available in the app?

It will use whatever version of DLSS you swap too

I've changed dlss versions countless times in games in the past. Not so much now as DLSS has improved a lot!

Ahh the days of ghosting with certain DLSS versions :cry:
