NVIDIA GeForce 471.11 WHQL driver download & discussion

is there a clean version? thanks

 

Anyone else have inverted audio in the nvidia sound driver?

 

You can use Nvidia slimmer, better

 

Funny how they never mention anything about call of duty and its the first time in a while that I can play without random crashing.

 

any crashes with cod were an issue on the clients end.

 

How come my directx diag says WDDM 2.7 and my driver has a date of 6/20/2021?

 

Are you using the Windows Insider Dev Channel preview build? This is the only Windows build with WDDM 3.0 support I believe. It shows WDDM 3.0 for me here. Standard Nvidia drivers supporting WDDM 3.0 means that WDDM 3.0 is already on the way for everyone anyway, so don't bother with the Dev channel Windows builds unless you're in it already.

 

Like this driver so far, no errors to report.

 

Had a couple of crashes in Doom Eternal with this driver. I'm not alone as a few are reporting the same within Steam's forum.

 

Both GFE Sharpening and AMD CAS exist for ReShade. No idea whether you get the same quality and performance as GFE (or CAS for that matter).
Some games/anticheats don't play nice with ReShade so keep that in mind.

edit: apparently there's a new Sharpen+ filter which I didn't notice, you meant this one? I don't think it's available anywhere outside of Freestyle.

 

@ManuelG Optimus seems to be broken with this driver. I have submitted the Display Driver Feedback Form

 

Nice, thanks.

Don't get too excited about sharpen+ if your use case is upscaling from lower res. The normal sharpen should be better for that, since the GPU upscaler will blur the image quite uniformly, so you want your sharpen filter to also sharpen uniformly to mitigate the uniform blur.

It seems to me sharpen+ is more intended to be used to sharpen native resolutions.

 

To be honest every time I use normal Sharpen it's almost always at native res. No high values of course, just a few percent or even 0% (it still applies sharpen at zero) just to add a bit more crisp and remove some blur from the image.
Sharp+ seems to have a hefty performance impact too.

 

I'm seeing huge performance losses on these in MEEE and WDL.

 

Same as me in Warzone

 

so far so good with this driver

 

Not amazed with this one. Slightly poorer performance, or so it seems if you check the numbers from RivaTuner in osd. Back to 465.89 which still performs the smoothest in the games I play.

 

Same here, I lost about 2-4 fps in most games, also benchmarks have lower scores, but I guess I will stick with them as some bugs fixed in those drivers are important to me.
