NVIDIA GeForce 516.94 WHQL driver download & Discussion

I really like this new driver.
What i can see (for real on my setup) is that Shader Quality rendering is a step up comparing to previous ones.
Everything is looking better when im gaming e.g.:

In BF2042 cloth on soldiers is more realistic, overal game looks a little better.
In terms of performance is very good, flat line in BF2042, also is point noting that with RT game feels much smoother now (i only Play with RT in my Custom Map with Bots).

UPD.1
But Matrix demo is not working duunno whyyy

UPD.2
Matrix It's working again, i needed to turn On HAGS

 

I gonna buy Spider-man today , it's good to hear it works good on RTX, why raytracing only this game ? you can play other games with RTX too,
I have a similar 3060 card and i can play all supported RtX and DLSS Games,have more fun

 

Yes your card is supported for this driver and should work you can expect that...but Destiny 2 ran well on the 516,79 ,before the latest Game update ,i can advice you
lower some in-game video settings,to make make more VidMem free, that worked for me in the time i used a Gtx1660 Super Oc ,till a few weeks ago , I hope that helps for you

 

What you are saying makes ZERO sense. AGAIN I got better overall performance with an undervolt than at stock settings as it was hitting the power limit too often in demanding scenarios. Maybe practice some basic reading comprehension instead of spouting nonsense. But thanks for confirming that you have no understanding of what you can do with undervolting.

 

I run my Gigabyte RTX 3060 at ,850 and my temps have gone down around 10 degrees celsius and i notice no performance-loss in the games ive played (RDR2 and Days gone so far) Totally stable too, so ill prefer this since its pretty hot here. Cheers!

 

I'd wait a bit. Quite a few on Steam are reporting crashes with RT enabled. Insomniac issued patches to reviewers that fixed things, but, they haven't filtered down to normal users yet. You may not have any issues, but, you could. My 2060 seems to handle it ok without it. I'm just erring on the side of caution for now and will see what emerges in the coming week. What annoys me is that any performance tests I've seen done all start at 1440p, even on a 2060 Super! I want to know what 1080p is like!

 

Look I have over 4000hrs in this game I think I would know it by now how the game acts and runs on my system and if something isn't right.
It's not vram fault, game barely uses 3-4gb vram max. And i have plenty system ram now 32gb.

But ok tnx for suggestion. I will stay on 516.79.

 

Yeah ok i understand it now , thanks for explaining

 

Ok maybe I sounded a bit harsh, but yeah.. playing again now and all is ok, guess they skipped older gen fix or something like that

 

Well i get around 70-80 fps with my Ryzen 3700x, 16 GB ram and a Gigabyte RTX 3060 12GB 1080p using an aoc 144Hz-screen. Most settings on high (no RT) Thats good enough for me anyway and the game is so good!!

 

4000 hours?? And here i was thinking my 400+ hours in RDR2 was quite a lot haha

 

lol it added up in 4-5years playing it

 

Haha okies, got you!

 

It didn't give me hard feelings, great that it works now

 

The game is awesome indeed , Ryzen 9-5900X 32 GB-3600Ram Inno3dRtx3060 OC- 12GB 1080p Gygabyte 165Hz Monitor, all settings Dlss RT at maximal settings also 70-80 fps played it now for 2 hours
without a single hitch..

 

Nice at 950mv myself.
Can we put vidy links in here? Don't remember... forgive me if against p&p... lol, probably changed since 2005 anyway!

 

Hi, thank you
I don't overclock, or voltage changed etc. everything is stock. I use DDU. The cards are stock (3090ti FE).

moving to the 516 introduced the issues (well honestly the hdmi 2.1 issues was there before 516)

My refresh rate is 120hz, it was 144, this change has not shown any variation.

Issues started on 516, reverting to 512 resolves it.

Thank you

 

buying a high end card and undervolting it is a nonsense, whats the benefit 5 fps+, minus 5 degrees heat, bullshit and dumb, one day you'll regret it

 

Awsome and Maaaaiden!!!

 

Thats the perfect cringe moment... 5fps more with 70w less. Dump is not doing it. Every forum has a clown like you. you won the award already, congratulations...
