Nvidia GeForce 364.96 Hotfix Driver

And feedback on overall impressions?
Stability, performance?

Curious, but, just home on my lunch break and don't have time to really dive into anything.

 

Yes. That was very quick. Anyone with 400 and 500 series confirm performance has now gone-up across affected games?

MSI Furmark (Bindless Furry Torus) showed interesting results;

edit:

364.91 = 137-139fps (this was already a 2fps boost from the previous set which was around 135-137fps)
364.96 = 142-145fps

So, it looks like opengl performance has increased with this driver.

 

Installed didn't noticed any difference so far.

 

Same "sub branch" as 364.72

364.72: r364_69-3
364.91: r364_00-160
364.96: r364_69-15

 

Glad to see this is fixed.

 

One of my friends tried them on Dark souls 3. He said it runs playable, compared to 364.72 which was totally unplayable. He's running a GTX570, used driver 362.00 before to play dks3 somewhat smoothly. Compared to it, he didn't gain much from 364.94 tho.

 

The Vulkan runtime? Why would an API from Khronos/LunarG be integrated into NV's driver? NV's driver package contains the driver which works with the API but you need to install the Vulkan API as well and there's no easier way to do this than with the driver itself. It is basically a 3rd party application packaged with the driver.

 

evga 960 2gb 364.72 vs 364.96 :
dark souls 3 same fps , no crash , worse freeze when pick up a object.
quantum break same fps , same stuttering .

 

That's okay, just curious to know why.

 

I had a fairly weird error in that, for whatever reason, after installing this, Shadowplay could no longer be enabled in GFE. I managed it fix it by uninstalling the GFE that installed with the driver, and downloading/installing it manually.

So... hopefully if anyone else had that issue, that may help.

 

Driver installed without issues.

Games play fine, about the same performance as previous drivers. Nothing weird to report.

Windows 10, single monitor and video card.

 

I was about to install 364.91's I downloaded this morning, and decided to take a look here if there wasn't anything newer... LOL

Here we go!

 

Chopper demo give me 33fps give or take that and there flashing chopper in middle the screen this is 364.72 though,

not sure what this pstate issue/fix is though

 

I get 88/89fps running default windowed. Also, this driver seems to have fixed the flashing chopper for me. Still testing, but, I've played CSGO, COD:BO3, Serious Sam 3, everything working fine.

Serious Sam 3 has occasional loading stutters, but, that's about it. Overall performance is excellent.

 

yah on 364.96 the flashing chopper is still there and i get 33fps I guess my cpu and gpu not up to the task

gpu is at 99% usage but 75% power and cpu is as 15%

I want to say Warzone in Swtor dont have as crappy fps as it did in 364.72, but it could just be the game being some what normal or cause i not in in lvl 65 warzones, Skyrims so the same 45FPS as the last 4 drivers show over looking the winterrun at the sky forge. with all the mods i use.

 

Back to dev beta! The driver has fps dips and mini freezes, bleh,,,

 

nvidiaProfileInspector v2.1.2.2 & RTSS v6.4.1 locked 60 fps quite well

R364.96 (r364_69-15) pretty smooth on FIFA 15. next WHQL can be improve.

no issue here.

 

fifa.. I run tri A titles and most of them are affected.

 

all my game lists;

Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, MKX, NBA 2K16, SFV, Watch Dogs, Project Cars, D3, FIFA 15, SC2, Torchlight 2, Dota 2, FM 16, GTA V, ME: SoM, USFIV, Doom 3, D2, Theme Hospital (corsixth)

everything working. i don't have so much money to spend on new triple A titles.

 

I could not run that Vulkan demo with the v364.91 developer driver but it works with this new hotfix driver. I only get the flashing chopper when I turn v-sync off otherwise the demo runs as expected. V-sync was enabled by default when I ran it so I only noticed the issue when I pressed 'v' to turn it off.
