NVIDIA GeForce 526.47 WHQL driver download & Discussion

This driver clocks down perfectly on my 3060, idle temp 34 C fan 10%

 

Still no hotfix for MW2..

 

BULL, have a nice, frustrated life..............

 

How can we know that, do we all work for nVidia???

 

Anyone tested this with cod warzone? Im still on 512.95 coz i heard its the best one for stable fps

 

this just sometimes happens after an update to these apps, its windows messing around, not the driver or the apps.

just toggle their startup states inside the apps.

"fix" for this will be coming from the game dev side, resource state is misconfigured on client.

 

I don't know whether it's even remotely related to this driver or the whole 522.xx family, but I started receiving EventID 0, nvlddmkm.sys errors (GPUID: 600) just a couple of days ago. No CTDs or BSODs, just this EID.

Has anyone else seen this recently in their Event Viewers?
I'm on Windows 10 22H2 (19045.2130) as of now... perhaps it's a widespread issue in this build?

I'll be forever thankful for any input on the matter!

 

Hotfix is finally out:
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5407

 

Then why has Nvidia listed it as known issue for their driver? If you downgrade to 512 driver series, the bug is not present. The bug affects all cards having 8GB and below VRAM. Stop with the unnecessary shilling.

 

Listing an issue =/= Owning an issue.

The issue is memory leak related, and you can't have memory leaking due a driver bug in one game without it affecting all other games.

The game developers need to fix their memory allocator the same way that MSFS devs did.


Unconfirmed thus far, but it does appear that the games Oct 24 update fixed it.

 

You know, nevermind... I would just rather put you on ignore than just trying to continue to explain to an adult-child mindset.

 

You too Thanks!!!
I currently don't own any of the games that might have issues (except Forza Horizon 5) so i can't contribute to this thread any more.

 

broke dota 2 vulkan on some gpu's though, no biggie, theres a workaround available

I just thought to check just now, this driver fixes the issue where explorer.exe had 4 nvidia openadapter threads constantly active.

before


after


Restart64 is also no longer making the shell explode with vram and memory leaks when changing shell DPI either.

 

@ManuelG

do not you think it is appropriate to fix this "massacre" of issues?
Also the hotfix does not correct what it says it does

New hotfix helped with MW2.

Then the game had a 200-400MB update. Now it crashes every other match. Grand.

Zero issues on my 6800XT.

 

Fixed with Oct 24 patch + 526 hotfix.

not actually a driver issue, GFE 3.26 doesn't support windows own HDR capability.

Affects Intel Arc and Xe/Xe Max too.

 

Getting these Green squares artifacts in MW II any one else?

They look really cool

 

interesting. it is really similar to the texture bug in forza horizon 5

i really start to think there's simply something very wrong with vram management in general with recent drivers. I wonder what kind of hacks NVIDIA has been employing that could've been causing this

 

lol, hacks.

video memory management is entirely on the game developer with vk and d3d12.
