    it was vram,

    hotfix driver + oct 24 patch enabled new behavior the same way msfs + driver fixed msfs.


    • GPU may get stuck in P0 state after exiting certain games [3846389]
    This is the reflex bug

    • [Anvil Engine Games] Environment flickering [3843932]

    This is the ACO bug when being underwater iirc,
    its a work around because ubisoft weren't going to fix their mistake themselves.

    I'll have to check how they did it, whether they force scaled the second slot down or scaled the first up.

    Ohh, new driver is here ;)

    Everything is fine, upgraded driver.
    Restart is needed & cache needs to be rebuild.

    Uncharted working fine.
    BF 2042 working fine, flat line.
    FH5 with RT is also on point.

    Older games are fine too.

    You and @ManuelG have missed those issues:

    • [Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition] Screen randomly flashes corruption during gameplay
    • [3793355] Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection crashes when launched on GeForce GTX 10 series cards [3841379] ----> it also happens for the RTX 4090 with flashing lights
    • [GeForce RTX 4090] G-sync Compatible logo does not show up on the LG OLED TVs settings menu [3849595] [GeForce RTX 4090]
    • Watch Dogs 2 may display flickering when staring at the sky [3858016]
    • Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) service may report higher GPU usage on some RTX 30-series configurations [3830387] ----> also on some RTX-4090

    EDIT: Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition and Watch Dogs 2 have be re-opened by NVIDIA.

    Post only has the official issues opened by NVIDIA in the release notes and the official forum post.

    I can however confirm that:
    • Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition] Screen randomly flashes corruption during gameplay [3793355]
    • Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection crashes when launched on GeForce GTX 10 series cards [3841379]
    are unresolved, albeit Uncharted issue can be worked around by disabling HAGS.

    The 'Watch Dogs 2 flickering when staring at the sky [3858016]' may have been resolved with '[Anvil Engine Games] Environment flickering [3843932]' fix as Disrupt Engine is based on Anvil and Dunia but I don't have the game to confirm.

    Added a link to your post.

    Atmos still randomly drops out, ran into this repeatedly in MW2, using HDMI 2.1 EARC.

    Defected bins is not a driver issue, especially an GIGABYTE and/or MSI 4090, etc.

    Hmm... I'm the opposite on both 3090s. A matters of fact, I see a boosts ~9% in performance e.g. MWII-9%(b), RDR2-5%(b), Elden Ring 7%(b), Maxon - Cinema4D / Redshift3D super smooth, etc.

    Performance is fine, no difference with previous R525 releases and is slightly faster than R520 - although YMMV depending on what you test it with.
