Nvidia 435.80 pre-release driver

Thanks for clarifying. Sounded like snake oil in the first place, if it "just" combines settings it's nothing new I guess. And I can confirm that MTR doesn't really shine on dx9, it's actually counter productive afaik.

 

I believe the intent was to make it simpler or easier for the end user but the wording and explanation at least in the first driver when it appeared wasn't entirely clear though since a NVIDIA spokesperson clarified what each respective level of it did I would expect the tooltip and later driver releases to make it more clear on what this changes without having to look it up.

As a part power user myself though I prefer separate options and more fine control though perhaps utilities or more in-depth tweaking still works instead of off or low and then high just sounds like it would be best avoided other than some specific profile cases or as a test.
From how it sounds like at least, doesn't seem like it's very beneficial to turn multi-threaded rendering off like this and the driver probably manages the setting on it's own when it's not forced into a specific behavior for known games and profiles.

EDIT: But maybe that's best for the option overall, keep it unchanged for the global settings and modify it on a per profile basis as needed or what "feels" best though testing and comparison might be ideal but also takes a bit more time.

 

Just did a few rounds of BFV seems a very good driver on my system, solid 100 fps (monitor refresh rate) and smooth.

 

If anyone needs the DCH package, let me know.

Cheers.

 

Youtube on Firefox with these ones doesnt work. Super slow playback, on chrome its fine tho.

 

Not such thing with Firefox on windows 1903

 

I tried the nightly build now, but it was the same for me as before. In full screen the videos are super laggy.

In firefox type: about:config

media.gpu-process-decoder

layers.gpu-process.enabled

Turning both of these options to false fixes the problem tho

Thanks! Getting these.

 

I tried 'Lowest latency' option on the prior 435 drivers and got great results with latency; definitely felt more responsive. I was conscious of input lag being present prior with the older drivers. I however couldn't confirm if it was placebo or simply bad prior settings; went back to 431.68 to try pre-rendered frames at 1 with Threaded optimization off (I usually kept it on); I can confirm that they don't give the same results, no where close actually; there is definitely some input lag with the latter, no doubts what so ever - at least on my PC, different set ups will likely give different results.

I play CS:GO a lot, getting close to 7k hours ; and having a more responsive aim is more favourable over anything else. I will give this one a go; I am happy with the input latency now so as long as it isn't worse, I'm fine with it.

 

lowest setting are like a old prerender frames 0 and without threaded optimization?

 

It has it but not "Low latency"

 

Well I know its definitely not pre-render frames 1 with threaded optimization. There were some theories that it may be pre-render frames 1 without threaded optimization, but that is wrong as well. I don't recall if pre-render frames 0 was a thing, but 'Lowest latency' for sure has lower latency that the other two I mentioned.

 

Agree, just tested in AVP2010, and it felt like I would almost have to lower ingame sensitivity

 

TJ, are you using that in conjunction with g-sync?

 

With this driver my CPU gets reaal hot and the CPU fan go to 100%
In Core temp i see 30w usage and normal that is 1.6
The CPU temp is getting up to 70 degrees
After reinstall 432.68 Every ting got normal again

This is all ad idle usage !

 

Well, this new version doesn't have that option anymore.
We'll have to see how they behave.

 

So it's the driver! Thanks for the info, i was about to open the case to check for dust on the vent. Gonna rollback to whql and check. A pity since this driver is partcularly smooth (Forza Horizon 4 smoother than ever and really input responsive, same for The Division2) but 70-71 degrees on 20% cpu usage is crazy.
Edit. Yup, reinstalled 31.60 and cpu temps are back to normal
