**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

BF6 appears to run a bit rubbish compared to before I updated to these new drivers (4080, 9800x3d + 32gb 6000 mem).

A lot of the worst security issues I've encountered lately are due to businesses leaving legacy hardware i.e. wireless access points sitting around idle but still active after being depreciated. Seems to be a common thing with businesses these days to have different teams coming in i.e. one installs the new replacement equipment and swaps everything over but doesn't remove the old hardware and then another team comes in later to remove the old stuff - sometimes with the removal being a low priority and being pushed back and the hardware going out of update service and becoming vulnerable or even exploited in the gap.

That's sadly very common too. But also ISP leaving users with badly outdated routers and no patches available because they work so who cares - replaced when user complains. Money saved! But the organisation I work for always upgrades hardware the movement is goes out of support but software? Even current Microsoft one has a bunch of components that their own scanner complains are full of holes and can be abused. Nothing we can do about it aside using all other systems to keep it all isolated. :/

And in topic - not had any issues with latest gaming driver yet, oddly! :) Not used to this...

Neither did Daniel Owen from YouTube till he just posted this week video showing his 5090 cable melted. And he never removes from his card the original one, even when removing whole gpu from pc, and then he always pushes it fully in each time he puts the card back in. It didn't help, melted randomly anyway. Of course, being a YouTuber he instantly got contacted by Nvidia rep to replace that founders card before he could even email them.

I would not recommend keeping the cable plugged in while removing the GPU multiple times, that's quite a bit of weight on the connecter and I can imagine one of the internal female pins got recessed slightly, I'd prefer to disconnect the connecter so I could do a visual check.

In his case it's the light Nvidia stock 12V to 4x8pin one. So in theory current balance should be even better than using 12v to 12v one. Alas, melted anyway. :) In his case keeping it always connected seems like a better idea in general than unplugging each time he swaps GPU for testing as those plugs have very limited lifespan for reconnecting, including on the GPU side of things.

I... completely forgot that thing exists, that's how much it changed in my gaming life after initial testing on 4090 with "meh, so noisy and blurry in movement!". :)

Edit: LOL, my bad, reading whilst rushing between things I completely missed what the post was about - for some reason I thought it's about RTX Remix and not whole RR etc. As Remix with RT - sure, when I tested it, it was noisy as hell, took visibly long time to clean up noise each time camera moved in Portal RTX etc., so I stopped even trying mods on it, as it was just meh. DLSS 4.5 with new RR will hopefully fix those things in much better way than previous RR which had its use but also some big downsides too.

Just download it from the MS store. They won't ditch it until some of the wacky business features are removed from the old panel.

Using the new Studio driver and now back on the nvapp given nv are ditching nvcpl shortly...

Also the fact that nvcpl never received an update prior to this driver anyway. So yeh, either download it from the MS Store (as above) or use NvCleanInstall and select the legacy control panel that way :)
