w00t? Thx for sharing. Now I know why we have to wait for the next Nvidia GPUs: They're trying to push their driver up to 400.xx! 😀

Now lets see if they got this nvcontainer crapola under control. I hope so, I really do. I eliminated quake champions kernel 141 CTD, but funny thing is, it's the only game doing that at 1418mhz, I played far more demanding games and those never crashed like that at constant 99-100% gpu load and higher temperature, but this Quake champions when it hit 70-71c dropped 1gpu boost clock (1 voltage step) and then hardlocked the system or CTD with kernel 141.. I'm already back to 1405mhz and this is ok at that given default 1.187v, and when gpu hits near 70c nothing happens and stays pinned at 1405mhz.

Have you read about this issue anywhere else? I play QC regularly and have never encountered this error. Interesting one though 🙂

To quote AgentA01 from a PM he sent me, don't blame your system for dev's crappy coding. 😀

For starters the game is not so heavy.. Also it is capped at 60fps and needs config in order to uncap/set the framerate according to needs. Lastly a 1080Ti is a total overkill for this game. How do you expect to have 100% utilization on this game??!!

HDR isn't supported on 980ti using display port. It doesn't matter if your using a D.P 1.4 cable as the port on the card is D.P 1.2 which won't transmit HDR meta data. HDR is only supported using the HDMI 2.0 port. This has been confirmed to me by Nvidia .
That's why Nvidia released that firmware tool to update displayport to 1.4.

So far, no issues with the driver, and so glad they fixed the gow4 bsod issue so i can download it now on PC since i have xbox game pass.

But when you read the system specs for the HDR monitors, it says min 10xx so only pascal an up. I posted info in another thread about it. https://www.anandtech.com/show/12941/nvidia-publishes-gsync-hdr-sys-reqs-releases-vbios-update-tool Unless something changes it doesn't seem even worth flashing a 9xx card unless they change support. PS, there also a WU for 1803 released today, I saw some HDR stuff in fixlist I think.

We'll see if it's really fixed when The Coalition re-enables the asynchronous compute toggle switch for Pascal GPUs. It's been missing for several months now, which I'm sure was related to the game's instability on Pascal GPUs as AMD GPUs can still toggle it.

It doesn't update it to 1.4 it merely fixed a compatibilty problem with HDR diaplays going blank on Windows start up when running at 144hz whilst using display port. If you have a 980ti after updating the firmware Windows 10 still doesn't give you the option to enable HDR unless your using HDMI. I did purchase a club3d 1.4 DP cable and tested it myself. I challenged Nvidia on why HDR isn't working on display port and their response was that the update doesn't change the hardware specs. If you want HDR over display port you need to upgrade to a 10 series card. And I'm on the latest firmware for my C32HG70.
I see, well I guess its another ripoff artist tactics from nvidia. So by hdmi you're then forced to 120hz, even with hdmi2.0 cable? I would be really pissed too, was this close to get the same monitor in 27" variant, but I ran a little short of €€..
