Geforce 418.81 WHQL - Download & Discussion

There is definitely a massive difference in image quality with dlss on and off. Its not possible to miss the difference. Since there is no actual game to try the rtx and dlss features right now i bought the 3dmark last day with 85% discount offer just to see if dlss makes any difference or not.

Tested it in a 4k 55inch samsung js9000 TV. Image quality difference is perfectly noticeable.

 

Actually there is just not much. Final fantasy 15 uses dlss and battlefield 5 has rtx.

 

I've got incredible boost in Division 2 beta with this drivers.
416.16: 24-35fps
418.81: 58-60fps

 

Decided to install these, clean DDU install. No noticeable changes but Civ 6 seems to have issues with DX12 on these drivers.
After a while the game gets stuttery and overall feels slow. Didn't have such issues on previous WHQL.
upd: Reinstalled the driver on top of previous WHQL. Game seems to run better now but it still feels like it runs worse overall than it used it.

 

This driver causes NVLDDMKM crashes in Apex Legends for me, rolling back to previous driver and all is OK

 

Sound like tdr or driver reset or what ever they call it. Some apps like Firefox will contain tdr/reset with in the program window. other will just make windows it self blackout. atlest these are the only time I seen such blackouts, but usual when blackout effect windows it self my monitor will lose signal

 

I've been getting it in vivaldi (chromium). PITA.

 

Your response made me curious, so I had to go run it again and pay closer attention. After re-running it and looking, I can definitely see an unmistakable improvement in the image quality. Had you not posted I possibly never would have noticed. It didn't grab my attention due to being profound and I definitely had to pay attention to identify the improvement, kind of like ray tracing... absolutely nice to have, but not something extremely compelling for me. So, thanks for prompting me to pay attention and look closer to recognize and appreciate it.

 

firefox does nothing of the sorts.

Known. the display container is consuming all commit space and leaving no memory for the driver.

 

Multiple TDRs with these drivers, possibly related to Firefox or Discord. Rolled back, no problems.

 

Well with these drivers when Im changing sound volume using my keyboard scroll (Corsair K70) the screen blinks in black.
I think it has something to do with small horizontal volume indicator showing on screen when Im changing volume.
Its kinda annoying and disturbs in a game.

 

Gonna give it a go today, curious if I get any Forza4 boosts as well

 

No issue here on a G610 with volume wheel.
I do have hardware acceleration set off in LGS, so maybe that is something to look at.

 

Someone who have 3 surround monitors with two rtx-2080-ti in Sli have encountered some issues with this driver release?

Thanks

 

yes firefox does if FF has tdr it draw screen flash blank and only in the FF windows and there will be TDR event in the event viewer at time of said flash, it rare though. I have seen it happen a handlefull of times. usual once every few months i see it happen, I been seeing this happen ever since I started using 1803 build of windows, I still using same drivers I installed when installed 1803, 411.63 that being I have not seen it happen in 2 or 3 months.

so either it is behaving longer then usual or one of FF recent updates fixed it

 

Just a FYI: Using FFox and Discord, no TDR's

 

Same here, no TDRs in FF66b on Win10 1809.

 

I have TDR issue in both chrome and firefox with this driver.
Rolling back only the graphics driver to 417.71 doesn' work either.
Seems the like culprit is the new sound driver? (1.3.38.13 vs 1.3.38.4)

A bit of off topic...
But what the heck is going with the realtek sound drivers?
The control panel in 2.82 doesn't work.
So i have to use some unofficial realtek sound driver that were released for intel nuc boards.

 

^^No TDRs for a long time already and no issue with Realtek as well. Most probably, your hardware or user error.

 

The TDR doesn't happen right away.
Its a memory leak.
Open bunch of tabs with videos playing.
It will run fine for like 45min. Then the pagefile is running full and chrome/firefox starts to crash.

And for realtek. Other people have the same problem with missing realtek control panel, but most they are on windows 10.
I use win7.
