GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 460.97

Wow, then you made the right choice.

 

is this the same issue that made HDR on desktop look all washed out? and why some game in HDR mode look really really bad and washed out?

 

I think it might be also Windows issue.
From my point of view (and usage) I also saw that HDR on the desktop is bringing me more issues than it supose to.
Absolutely broken night light mode (red tint), sometimes app/games/desktop are getting pretty washed out, brightness seems to be very low (or maybe it's a contrast issue?).
ALT+TAB between HDR game and app/desktop (with HDR enabled globally via Windows settings) is also a mostly bad idea that will make you suffer due to brightness/contrast issue, so sometimes you need to ALT+TAB few times just to get a proper look.

But if the HDR is working, like in Shadow of The Tomb Raider, BF1, Mass Effect Andromeda, Ori and The Will of The Wisp it look absolutely amazing and worth enabling it, just to see how much it could do to change overall look with minor (or none) performance penalty.
I hope NV and MS will make HDR implementation more stable with time - as I stated in my previous message, it's unclear who's fault is that, it might be both sides failing in some regards or it might be one side issue only.
However using PC for almost 20 years I saw that plenty of small or annoying issues that were purely MS laziness or IDC (I don't care) scenario, they were left untouched for years.

 

CRT, Voodoo 3DFX and 640x480 on 56k with Windows 98 and floppy disks and ball mice in beige. Do you feel old yet?

 

i remembered my first pc dx486 with 8mb edo ram s3 trio 64 1mb vga using windows 3.1 playing lotus..super frog..prehistoric..golden axe vs vs.. off course under DOS not win3.1

 

1985 Atari ST with TOS on roms, 1 meg of ram, 3.5 external floppy disk reader, and 16 color CRT display. I did my masters thesis with that $1000 computer system...

Then again, I transitioned from my slide rule to a $170 pocket calculator during my freshman year of engineering school back in 1975.

Kind of makes you appreciate how steady the price point has been (in keeping with Moore's Law) as the technology improved by leaps and bounds.

 

3dfx was not my "era" because that was later half of the 90s.
My era begins with GeForce 256 and GeForce 2, first ATI Radeon, STB Kyro and Pentium 3, first Athlon/Duron, 1GHz barrier.
Old but gold, however PC from that were much more complicated.

 

its specific to lg oleds and windows DCT.

 

This hotfix driver got no flickering thats good.
Tested a few games no crashes either.
Also hdr works fine for me well @ least on nfs heat.

Edit: i spoke to soon the desktop flickering is back lol time to go optimal presentation see how that goes.

 

What do you mean? This is awsome Stuff! I really want to try a Sony GDM-FW900 on my machine. I bet it would stomp all those modern LCD fancy stuff. But I can't find one. An if i could, I would need to sell a kidney...

btw: This was part of my Strike Commander Part of config.sys on my old Bootmenue...

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM HIGHSCAN I=B000-B7FF
DOS=HIGH, UMB
BUFFERS=64
FILES=120
STACKS=9,256


And I still play that stuff. Back to topic: even on this old stuff nvidia drivers work well. They behave a bit different then the AMD drivers, but all works well.

And no, I don't feel old - even if I am on a high counter on years.

 

and now i feel old too

 

The good ol' days. I'd love to see a Strike Commander remaster with VR Support and possibly optional co-op support.

 

Went from 457.09 to these. Cold War works like a charm, no issues now but Assetto Corsa is a stutter fest. I have an i9 with RTX3080. It was working fine, just sat in the pits doing nothing the clocks are all over the place. Turn off MSI after burner and still the same. Nvidia love to break stuff when fixing other issues, incompetent and annoying.

 

Regular Assetto?

 

Have you tried setting the game's driver profile Power mode to Prefer Maximum Performance?

 

Fun thing is that it beats your GPU in performance regardless of what you say: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1660S-Super-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1080/4056vs3603

 

Commodore 64 and GEOS baby!!

 

Yep, set to preferred max performance. Just can't believe changing drivers does this bull... Happened in the past too, nothing new.

 

Ever use a cassette drive?

 

On Topic:
Driver seems good, though not a fan of the new power mode "normal" on the 3080 seems to not boost aggressive enough and having to set Prefer Max Perf in NVCP for a bunch of games due to stutters that didn't seem to happen when there was Optimal Power mode.
