NVIDIA GeForce 451.48 WHQL Drivers: Download & Discussion

16xx cards are Turing actually.

 

Old and known issue with bugged DX 12 support in this game, just use DX 11 and your problem will be solved, this is 4A Games fault.

 

metro dx12 is only unstable on unstable hardare.

 

Lol i was only joking ,i hope they come sooner i have 450.99 installed

 

First post on guru, yay.
My 2 cents regarding this driver. Comparing games between 450.99 and 451.48, both with HAGS enabled.

PUBG
450.99 - some minor stutters here and there, but overall very smooth experience
451.48 - same amount of the minor stutters, but it introduced some bigger framerate drops, which lasts like a minute every game

Rocket League
450.99 - very smooth with no issue
451.48 - same as with 450.99

Warzone
450.99 - minor stutters, but overall pretty good and smooth experience
451.48 - more stutters, less smooth

Fifa 20
450.99 - smooth with very rare stutter
451.48 - little stutter every 30 secs

Osu!
450.99 - minor stutters here and there
451.48 - smooth as butter

I will try to disable HAGS and see what will happen. I'll probably go back to 450.99 dou, because it was far smoother experience in my case.

Sorry for the longer post.
Hope you all safe.

 

I played some FIFA 20 yesterday, it runs smoothly on my system with 451.48.
Your issue might be caused by something else.

 

Yeah could be. But the thing is it run pretty flawless before I updated the driver . No change in anything else, but not denying it can be on my side. I'm using two GSYNC monitors (165Hz and 144Hz). Low latnecy mode On in NVCP. I'm installing Standart Clean drivers. A lot of things can be the culprit.

 

I use freesync on a single 4K display, with the global NVCP vsync toggle set to on, low latency off.
The game's fps limiter is set to 60, it runs silky smooth.

 

So far this driver is working fine just like 450.99. The 446.14 gave me lots of nvidia kernel errors, thats why I opted to the beta driver. The 446.14 was the only driver that gave problems in years of always updated drivers for Nvidia. It was a mess since the first day, Ghost Recon Breakpoint generated those errors and I did not test it with any other games.
The latest one 451.48 is working fine with my setup.
With HAGS On my fps was improved between 1% with OpenGL and 10% with Vulkan games, something that is great.
My GTX 1660 is OCed to 2040 MHz and DDR5 to 4990 MHz and I've tested the following games so far:
Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
The Division 2
Red Dead Redemption 2
The Witcher III

Is anyone else experiencing stuttering and frame drops in Forza Motorsport 7 after racing few laps? I thought this issue was fixed few drivers ago...

 

Well I finished it twice before most of the patches and DLC came out so this is my third go.DX 12 runs flawless on every other driver pre - 446.14 and 451.22 was stable, but that being a dev driver, can't really trust it was 100% doing what a Game Ready Driver would do.
I suspected 446.14 was probably putting more strain on system components with it's new DX 12 features and whatnot and every major WIN10 update, reacts differently to my system overclocks.One version might take a lil less cpu vcore, another might need a lil more.I'll re-evaluate the system overclock again, as in bump vcore up a notch and see if it helps.
MHO, FFXIV SB and Metro Ex benchmark apps all run fine with this driver, numbers are great like 446.14 and 451.22 so I'd really like to keep it.

@Astyanax - Re-evaluating system overclock to see if it helps.

Also, HAGS option I'd really like to keep, mostly because it's there so why not, so I'll continue my testing with it on.

 

Hmm, got a black screen crash with these drivers. Picture freezes and screen goes into sleep mode after a few seconds. Experienced a couple of similar crashes on DX12 dev and CUDA dev drivers. HAGS was enabled in all cases but I'm not 100% if it's HAGS or something else since it appears to be random and I don't see a way to reproduce it yet.
The only common thing I can think of between crashes was video playing in the browser.
Anyone had something similar happen?

upd: same crash again after a few hours. Gonna disable HAGS for now until the next drivers or another crash (whichever comes first) to see if it makes any difference.

 

i noticed in division2 benchmark lots of stuttering. the game runs fine, just the benchmark ist not ok. i will try to find out what it might be.
im on 2004/b550-f/3600/1080/16gb/144Hz/gsync

shown gpu activity in division2 benchmark = 0%

 

So far things look positive.Went up a couple notches on vcore and this is now my fav driver.
Thanks.

 

dota 2 crashes with hags on and i even got a bluescreen, disabled it and everything is fine no crash at all.

 

this driver look bad on my system.

i5-9600k
predator hyper x ram 3200
2800 super msi
z390 gaming board.

mild OC.

last time keep facing game stutter on COD.

try to solve many many problem . like try to make my system cooler, fresh install my os 3 times.

try to minimize all the start up program, change new PSU tot is PSU problem as well.

still game stutter.

this driver is the worst get 1 sec++ stutter.. .

previous driver is the best micro stutter only, sometimes dont even stutt.

game setting set 95% all ultra high. if lower the graphic of cuz it solved.

so now i move back old driver.

 

There were two ways I got HDR to display correctly with Windows HDR on and off (SDR mode) when using MPC-BE. I don't particularly fancy rolling back drivers so will wait till Mad updates MadVR.

Windows HDR ON.
Displays HDR content correctly.

Windows HDR OFF
Play the video, after it display switches, close the video from file menu (do not exit MPC-BE) and then play. That temporary solution works for me.

 

Drivers cause Adobe Photoshop CS6 to freeze and lock up and crash the program. Reverting to 446.14 and CS6 is fine..

 

Driver is no good for Forza Motorsport 7 and exhibits the same performance degradation as Forza Horizon 3 (still not fixed for Turing). I don't know why Nvidia struggles so much with the Forza games but it's maddening.

edit

HAGS on or off, no difference.

 

The GTX 1060 I got back in 2016 has been a great value. We later got support for FreeSync monitors, software Ray Tracing and now Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. Can even play 8K 60 fps videos without issues, even though I have a very old CPU. It's amazing how a new GPU can breath new life into an old PC. Can't wait to see what RTX 3060 will bring, this should be a worthy upgrade.
