GeForce 466.63 WHQL driver download & discussion

Thanks everyone for the feedback, was aiming at this driver to switch all of my PCs at home from some few months old drivers to these 466.63 bit after reading all of the issues think I'm goona skip these and instal either 466.47 or 466.53.

 

When do we get an option to Import and Export profiles?

 

another crap useless driver since 446.14 was most best performance and stable, cover yourself of glory, thanks for nothing NVIDIA.

 

Smells userfailure

 

I've had 4 crashes in the last hour during Doom Eternal - going back to previous drivers

 

Stick to 466.47 if you don't have any of the following issues:

[RTX 20 series][GTX 16/10 series][HDMI] 4K @ 120Hz display mode is not available from display settings [3312401]
If GPU is connected to a 4K UHD TV, system may freeze when launching a VR game [3313315]

 

Wow, some glowing reviews in this thread. Between this and the avalanche of problems in Nvidia's own thread for these, not sure why they haven't just pulled them.

 

Just went back today to 460.89 with my 2070S imho the newer driver likes these are more aimed for 30xx and if it runs well with your 20xx its just a coincidence.

 

vocal minority.

 

Just noticed that there's 2 trending threads on NVIDIA Forums about these black screens.

Getting WHEAs with this driver. All dxgknrl or nvidia related.
EDIT: Not a WHEA, doesn't matter, still an issue.

 

thats not a WHEA

 

Regardless of what it actually is or isn't. It is reportedly a "hardware error".
Pedantism aside (which has contributed a lot to the discussion by the way)
I have now reverted to 466.47, let's see if the issue will persist or happen again.

My GPU is not overclocked btw.

 

A similar problem on a GTX 770 video card with a GeForce 466.63 driver WHQL I had a problem 2 times a day - the first time I read Twitter. Second time when I didn't do anything. Clean install doesn't help. Tried doing complete deletion via DDU, the problem appeared again. I rolled back to the older 466.47 driver - it did not have this problem (I did not notice). I hope this information will be useful

 

I guess 466.63 runs fine when there isn't a lot of alt tabbing going on between game and Edge/Chrome.
Even seen a 3080Ti user that has the black screen issue, which is a bit more problematic since there is no point of return.
For me this is the first driver in years that adds a an issue making me unable to keep using it.

 

Indeed, since the majority having issues just roll back and don't say a word besides that some just stick to some old driver.

 

Yeah, also seen quite a lot in the drivers own thread, not sure about how those BSOD's are triggered.

@ManuelG
Fix for the black screening/blackening out things should be easy since it is directly related to the driver itself, I don't use GFE, only the driver.
As reported, you should be able to replicate it with some excessive alt tabbing between games at fullscreen and latest Edge/Chrome, just like you would do when looking up things for the game you play when you only got one monitor.
Played Elite Dangerous Horizons mainly when it happened, which is Dx11 I believe, but also happens with other games.
Just a bit weird since nothing in the fixed notes seems to relate to anything near it.
I would get someone to check differences in the revision control between 466.47 and 466.63 to start with and get a hotfix out there asap for the 3080Ti users.

 

for anyone wanting to know how the performance is with these ,
games i've tested run smoother , minecraft rtx , days gone , pubg ,
all run like a dream
very low input delay
driver recommended !

 

As long as we're both pulling facts out of our ass, this is still insignificant considering the amount of people.

 

I believe its linked to ongoing development of MPO's, so the same workaround of disabling the capability should stop the device resets.
