(still) Open Issue
- Increase in DPC latency observed in Latencymon

Ohh well, at least we got RTX VSR now

 

This is how Nvidia works, they add bullshit instead of fixing important things !!

 

Yeah, this (and not listed huge issues here) were reproduced several times in builds. Definitely more frowns to come VERY soon.

(Link is dead for now, may come out later)

 

Can you leave information about all changed games profiles in this driver? Also wondering how to enable RTX Video SR in driver?

 

From other forun > Make sure to enable SuperRes in NV control panel, it's under "Adjust video image settings"

 

Chrome is ready?

 

Yes, I checked it works, only I didn't notice the difference between 1 2 3 4

 

How old is this DPC latency issue, I just checked here (527.56) and seems to have problems especially when moving mouse.

 

Lots of Vulkan goodness in this release:
-frame times are fixed, no more bumpy frame time graph in Strange Brigade
-putting Vulkan presentation on DXGI now actually works, I can see the volume overlay in Strange Brigade Vulkan with DXGI presentation selected in Nvidia Control Panel
-more Vulkan extensions supported, e.g. VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state3 for DXVK

And: It might be that MPO mpv/madVR fullscreen stutter is finally fixed. I'll temporarily go back to the previous driver to be extra sure. But looks like either the driver or Windows 11 updates fixed it.
Edit: Confirmed, it's fixed by this actual driver!

 

is the HDR switch bug fixed?

 

Probably asked before but does this work on Edge? Whether it be Stable, Beta, or Canary channels

 

Is this RTX only or also affects older cards?

 

Do I have to enable it manually in the Nvidia Control Panel or is it already enabled by default after installation?

 

Its Gen 4 and 5 platform specific, and not across the whole range.

 

It's so weird reading the word ''AI'' in a control panel from the XP era..

 

Disabled by default.

 

What Vulkan API version is reported by vulkaninfo or 3rd party utilities?
