    "- [RTX 40 series] Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition may show random screen flash during gameplay"

    Yes they are aware of that bug!

    *Edit* it's not showing up on Nvidia's official driver download??

    These points are already enough to skip this release ...because random screen flash during gameplay and display flickering they are also present in other games such as for example Uncharted and A Plague Tale on my RTX 4090. Also the Call of Duty issue is still not fixed .

    Looks like it was related to the worse frame times with HAGS in Dying Light 2, as the issue seems to be gone now.
    Vulkan frame times still slightly regressed (not related to HAGS).

    Installed fine, Upgrade.
    Needs restart, cache needs to be rebuild.

    BF 2042 as always Great
    FH5 - Great
    Uncharted The Lost Legacy - Great (U4 finished on earlier driver).
    Kena - Bridge of Spirits working great with DLSS.

    Older games working fine.

    GeForce Game Ready driver also quietly adds support for RTX IO (as part of the Microsoft DirectStorage 1.1 release,
    though it also works on Vulkan API through two new extensions) and for HDR10+ displays. However, neither technology is currently supported in any games.

    [​IMG]

    RTX IO, as you might recall, was first announced two years ago.
    It is now finally available with this Game Ready driver. The technology is open source and works on all platforms but is optimized for Ada architecture and, therefore, RTX 40 GPUs.

    RTX IO was already supported in previous drivers for DirectX 12, and it was optimized for every card that supports it. This just adds RTX IO support for Vulkan.

    This driver does not fix RTX 4090 pc crashes when idle or at starting of playing videos.

    "RTX I/O" should work on any GPU with shader model 6 support. Thus it should probably work even on Maxwell.

    I'm testing it on my 4090 now with HAGS off and so far it's fixing my crashes. I'm watching a stream now for like 2 hours with no crash. Usually what HAGS off I crash in under an hour, sometimes as little as 5 minutes.

    I don't know if anyone has seen this error, it only happens on the express/custom options selections during a driver install,
    and it doesn't affect the installation, I just hit Yes, and it's been happening for quite a while, all 5xx drivers *I think* but doesn't really affect the install ...

    This particular entry in the javascript code seems to cause it: iFrameObj.attachEvent("onload", onFrameLoad);
