    There are three layers to Nvidia's ASYNC implementation, it starts with the purely software Grid Management Queue, which holds onto pending operations and then sends them to the software based work distributor, and then from there, that sends them to the hardware async warp schedulers. Those two software parts need to be updated for DX12 ASYNC compute functionality.

    In the AMD chips, it is all handled in-hardware.

    This bad PR has not influenced my thinking in the way your are implying. I am simply worried about how it is influencing the general public's thinking. And I'm not an AMD fan by any means.

    Also forgot to mention, while f1 2015 in game own vsync doesn´t tank performance when restarting races, it suffers some odd behavior in some turns during races, it´s like the pace of the game accelerates for a fraction of a second, not easy to notice but I don´t have that on older drivers like the one I´m still using (353.49). Didn´t test more to see if the *vid mem CTD is still there because game seems broken enough (also a problem with latest drivers in this game for some people even with 980´s).

    Texture allocation crash seems common too:

    That´s some fix he... welcome to the beta testers club.

    latest driver are really shame for those who plays Borderlands 2 and BLTPS, physx performance are non exist, GPU is not utilized, only driver that works perfect is 355.84.

    in addition to it, ra2 has pink corruption, therfore need to play on low resolution for it to work.

    Grid management unit is hardware. Work distributor is grid management unit. Warp schedulers are hardware.

    In NV chips all this is handled in hardware as well. Don't trust sources like WCCFTech and DSOGaming blindly as they don't know what they're talking about 99% of the time.

    Ah but it is. Your wording clearly shows this. Async queues can be handled serially as well as concurrently -- both are perfectly withing DX12 specs. NV's async compute queues are hardware and not software.

    Whatever they're planning on doing in drivers is not the support for async queues in general but most likely a system which will decide whether to launch an async compute job concurrently with graphics one or serially as depending on the current workload a concurrent launch may result in a performance loss compared to a serialized one.

    Yeah it incredibly hard to hit Win+P a couple of times.

    Does this driver also include the hotfix for G-SYNC that was provided for in 358.59?

    that's why I said, copy skyrim settings into the fallout profile.

    The profile itself in current drivers doesn't have any special settings like SLI bits and such, it justs exists.

    I got the same exact graphical score in 3DMARK with 358.87 as with the previous 358.78.

    Why would you even use something like a codec pack? It's a generator of bugs and compatibility issues all around. Use a player which comes with LAV filters instead - like MPC-HC or VLC.

    actually K-lite codec pack is working better for me.

    I can actually use nvidia cuvid.

    before in other release I had black screen. but now its working.

    It doesn't matter what they include. You don't need any codec pack with a proper player.

    It is useful if you want to get a better picture quality. Unless you give me THE best player you are using XD
