Nvidia GeForce 388.13 WHQL Driver download & Discussion

Sorry its when I read, https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/n...wnload-discussion.417625/page-19#post-5492022 and then https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/n...wnload-discussion.417625/page-19#post-5492029

Its all good, I apologise.

Just frustrated that this new driver introduced the stuttering/shuttering/micro-stutter.

 

My rig is also on x79 chipset.
Off-topic

Spoiler

What SATA drivers? Have you tried IvyBridge-E CPUs? They have better implementation of PCI-E and a little bit cooler than SandyBridge-E.

 

During x79 released, I don't even able to afford it.

Overall, the gaming experience with this driver is not smooth enough & let's hope the next WHQL will fix it!

 

Being stuck on the v388.00 driver due to the stuttering/microstuttering issue with this driver, it's disappointing that NVIDIA have not released their usual hotfix driver. I can't help thinking that I am getting less performance in Wolfenstein II and Assassin's Creed: Origins because the driver I am forced to use is not the Game-Ready one for those games. This is the first time that I can recall in years where I've had to stick with an older driver due to issues with the latest one.

 

no Battlefront 2 driver today?

 

It's in a loot box.

 

Why today? The game's official release date is 17th.

 

elite edition released today. don't drivers usually come out on tuesdays?

 

I don't think that NV cares for "pay more to play two days earlier" editions.

Not that I've noticed.

 

Do you have some micro stuttering in COD WWII with 388.13 , all of you have ? but only in single player . in Zombies multi I don't have. I'm using all MAX 4K + HDR all other options are ON like the cache ones.

For me with the Drivers I'm already checked every single driver, I have the best DPC latency I get right now which I still test every time.

From Network Perspective I think I have the best you can get in terms of network hardware and drivers , so they should affect anything in anyway . SolarFlare SFN6122F + All Offload enabled + Windows RSC + Chimney Network Stack . I don't have the crappy Intel network card which causes crap DPC issues. Anyway there are still many more things to check.

Not everyone can update the MEI drivers , I have old system which I didn't yet to replace P8Z77 Asus with 3770K and using higher MEI driver than 9.5 have weird effects for me. I don't we even need the MEI drivers installed . I want to buy AMD ThreadRipper 1950X soon when I know there won't be anything better, then the DPC won't even budge.

 

KB4048955 (16299.64);

• The addressed issue that causes a black screen to appear when you switch between windowed and full-screen modes when playing some Microsoft DirectX games.

I'm not sure this related to MPC-HC (FSE mode) & I really hope it fixed the issue.

@X7007 If you're more into gaming, avoid going for ThreadRipper or even Ryzen.

 

Anyone know where the download link for Star Wars Battlefront II drivers are?
Nvidia tweeted it and then later removed the tweet. I don't have GFE installed and normally just manually download them from the official site.

That tweet is gone now 8)

 

Did it fix your issue ?

Why not going Threadripper, low single thread performance ? some games do have low single performance . but they are almost higher than 90 and I don't think I need more than 90 fps . I want the Cores so the system will always run top performance no matter what. I build systems for at least 3-4 years . not every year upgrade like Intel want.

 

Yeah, they replied to my tweet.

Hopefully it will include some G-Sync fixes

 

Yeah, I think so & unable to reproduced anymore. Let's try the new 388.31 WHQL.

If money is not an issue for you & do you really need a workstation?

 

What's wrong with Gsync?

 

Yes, it's not just workstation, it's also Quad Channel memory which is more speed. it's also more Cores and soon games will need that , not in the far too future, the close one. also when you do anything with the computer it always need resources and 4-6 cpu's are just don't enough for anything. if there was Intel 8 cpus then I would think otherwise, but I don't trust intel anymore with their greedy 4 cpu 6 years run . they could do 6-8 cpus ages ago.

 

SandyBridge-E, IvyBridge-E? You may say ancient. They have quad channel too. I sit on lga2011 since release (just upgraded from SB-E to IB-E), and have no issues in apps (games mostly, but I am not ultra settings chaser).

 

I posted it in this thread but I get stutters in Destiny 2 and it locks to 30fps when I activate Fullscreen & Window mode in nvidia control panel. New drivers are up now, so trying them now.

Cheers
