NVIDIA GeForce 511.23 WHQL driver download & Discussion

I'm sitting at 472.47, but curiosity got the best of me, and i tried this driver.

Old issues:
I've had similar issues as introduced with 496, 497, and 509 such as black polygons on 2d desktop and large black/blank screens between 3d apps and desktop. Manifest issues occur when MS store and appx are not part of the enterprise load or server load. issues are all solved by reverting to standard 472 series or below.

New Issues:
-Peculiar behaviors: On HDMI 2.1, every other boot the 2d desktop is stretched out several monitor lengths and the login screen is really only showing the upper left corner of the whole 2D desktop. issues are all solved by reverting to standard 472 series or below.

-On several titles I get a washed out bright screen ( Succubus, Necromunda) suddenly during game play.

-HDR "hangs" into 2d desktop where before it would revert back to normal. Now it doesn't revert back

-4-5 boot intervals, the desktop font in 2d is all corrupted and the cpl report "12bit" color is what its set at ( I had set it to 10 bit, full, rgb). Where did "12 bit" even come from?

issues are all solved by reverting to standard 472 series or below.

I did not test performance, was running into too many more important issues. Reverted back to 472.47 standard.

The issues I'm reporting are reproducible across multiple machines that have in common a lack of MS Store and no APPX, 4k FALD 10 bit monitors, display port 1.4 and or HDMI 2.1. All reported issues are resolved by reverting to standard driver 472 or below.

This ths been the exercise for every driver after 472 without any solutions to the reported issues.

 

I have occasional black screens in Firefox (TUF 3080, 12700K, Win11). Is this a known issue?

 

Had to turn off hardware acceleration in Google settings because I was getting greenscreens when playing YouTube videos. No issues before installing 511.23. Running Z690 / 3090...

 

In my case I have problems with the drivers 497.09 in Hitman 3 you know micro-shuttering, this is solved when i install 496.13 or 496.98 Hotfix Driver, I think the problems start in 497.09 and well the last drivers 511.23 is the worst, my 1060 3gb suffers shutteing , fps drops etc

 

Interesting.

I was wrong, this is actually already the case. 100% smoothness doesn't over-sharpen textures anymore. DLDSR seems to be a really good scaler!

@ManuelG Though currently, any driver sharpen (the old one when activating integer scaling and also the new one) is ignored when using DLDSR. Would it be possible to implement this? Pretty sure that DLDSR with 100% smoothness would look really great (both natural and sharp) with a little, tiny bit of edge sharpen AFTER scaling (not before, which is the case when using in-game sharpeners or using ReShade).

 

why do you need them? the driver installs them.

 

Adaptive does the same thing as Normal on ampere.

Tune system memory to more stable configuration

 

Because I don't have cards that match them. I want to replace in old drivers.

 

Maybe the lack of 3GB more with this new driver i guess

 

then you have no need to have them.

 

Did you got errors while installing the driver? if not the driver must install the dll's....

 

Maybe that is the problem, but I saw on the forum a lot of people with similar problems and they have better graphics cards

 

My apologies for the belated reply but you got me thinking and I'll be damned it is this new Samsung 28inch 4kG7 monitor I just got the other day? Connected by display-port with VRR enabled it forces off image scaling-super resolution is gone-integer scaling option gone. I have anjother monitor LG 27GL850 and did clean driver ddu with it under display-port and works fine with VRR enabled NIS is there etc no problems? Also this Samsung G7 when I do a clean driver install it will not work booting back up with DP I have to switch to hdmi and then back after driver install but had no such issues with the LG monitor? I am at wits end and Astanyx sorry for jumping the gun a bit but the other weird thing is Samsung monitor worked fine when first brought home from Best Buy and plugged it in (was using 4k TV as a monitor since I built the thing) no issues 99 percent sure g sync worked scaling etc was there but when I did clean install to 511.23 that is when something happened? Thanks guys anyways for guidance but I am stumped!

 

You should check if there is a firmware update for your VGA card. I remember some VGA cards receiving DP 1.4 related fixes through firmware updates in the last few years.

 

It doesn't, its a limitation of inspector that it doesn't query the device support before showing the potential variables,

when ampere released nvidia hadn't updated the nvcp yet but both the optimal adaptive options were already doing exactly the same thing as Normal.

 

Your right, I was to focused on the issue that sounded like default did it, he must have been forcing performance to make it keep the clock up, don't get though how that should make performance worse though, must have been some other tweak in play too.

 

There is a compatibility issue between this driver and Forza Horizon 5:

"Our team is investigating an issue that causes Forza Horizon 5 on PC to crash when applying a livery or vinyl onto a car. We've identified that this is caused by Nvidia graphics driver version 511.23. If you've already updated your drivers and have encountered this crash, please disable the ray tracing graphics option in the game or revert your graphics drivers to a previous release until a fix is available."
