Luckily we get a Demo release in 2 days. That'll probably show performance metrics better then the benchmark.

Luckily we don't have to wait that long 🙂 The demo is released today in about 40min (GMT+1). http://steamcommunity.com/games/637650/announcements/detail/1661137104726728365

Actually the demo should come out in an hour or two I believe. 🙂 EDIT: Mentioned already above. 😀

Did you set Adaptive mode & use the 3D application setting for Media Player Classic (mpc-hcx64.exe)? OT: Did you manage to update the microcode update 0x24 or?

I am in 24 microcode but i also tried 22. Same thing the mouse stutter heavily until the movie finish load. i tried multiple hdds and a ssd. with vlc it dont do the same thing. I use default k lite install settings. In previous driver all are ok.

Oh, well that is a nice surprise 🙂 I was sure the demo would be released on the 1st. Though, I'm not complaining.

Why would someone even use codec packs when MPC-HC, MPV and VLC exist? No changes in FFXV score so I guess those optimizations are for GameWorks features that are not in the benchmark.

I was about to test and see, so no difference in benchmark? funny.. Well benchmark uses turf grass and hairworks on those silly "cows", so it should have an affect too.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 crashes instantly if DX12 is selected trough the options. Not sure if it will work with some of the older drivers or not because of how recent the beta is. Some AMD users already confirmed that they are not crashing on launch using DX12, so I have to blame it either on the driver(which will come in no surprise) or the beta itself.

Why would you use dx12 with your gtx 970 anyways? Nvidia performs alot better with dx11.

Now that the demo is out we can test what would be basically a final product. Mine is still downloading, but according to steam forums performance is better than in demo even with cranked up settings.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck with 1E (P2.00) & unable to flash 24. I strongly suggest you stick with the official P2.00

Because u try it wrong. Take the last ubu 1.69.15 push button 7 ,1b,24 and flash it. Why u try to put it manual there i cannot understand. also u must use mtool 5.0.7 because mtool 5.0.24 is only for ami V.(above x99 chipset) I modded it for you take it a look: -https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97%20Pro4/#BIOS mod: -http://www.uploadmb.com/dw.php?id=1519669787

I can confirm that this driver produce a weird freeze (even mouse cursor don't move during it) when starting video playback in MPC-HC. No codec packs here.

You CAN use v5.0.24 with Aptio IV just need to patch that version

Offset 0x1814F: 09 -> 00 0x3C721: 0E -> 00 0x3C724: 80 -> 00

hmm no mention of firefox quantum tdr that randomly happens

texasrattler:

So why is it that people are saying that this driver is better for PUBG when there is no mention of this anywhere in the release notes? You'd think that a Nvidia sponsored title would have something in the release notes if they improved things.

Decided to test and what do you know, I'm joining the club.

Right, Installed and ran FFXV benchmark and halfway trough hard-freeze followed by BSOD watchdog timeout.. lol, 390.77 was ok at same voltage/settings.. Now I raised cpu system agent voltage (vccsa) further, from already imo high 0.130+ offset to 0.140+. Edit: and now it passed, but the score was somewhat the same as 390.77, actually it was few points less lol 390.77: 7070 (usually ~ 7020-7030) 391.01: 7008

i dont know unless find some reason to changed drivers i will stay on 390.77 till the firefox TDR stuff is fixed, as everthing works as it should other then that for me

Are they ever going to fix Gears of War 4 blue screens on Pascal? I haven't played the game in 8 months because of this bug. It took 5 months just to get nvidia to list it as an issue in their drivers .pdf

MPC-BE x64 1.5.2 (build 3148) beta, no issues here.

FFXV demo is running alot better than the bench but there still some hitching here and there but 95% smooth. Looks and sounds fantastic on a 1800x and 1080ti c6 oled. The atmos sound and hdr are a really nice addition to the game. Im getting 45+ fps in heavy fights mostly 55-60 running around but butter smooth most of the time, all settings maxed except aa off.

Well at highest TRAM it can use all vram, by me it was up to 6090MB as max, at high its ~ 5500MB, this was at DSR 2880x1620, in both cases slight streaming stutter. Also the game can stop responding if I lower resolution and CTD, or it can have occasional blackout screens for few ms. Now it just quit, first it stopped with frozen picture, music played normally in the background, then 10-20sec later quit to desktop.

This crash happened right before I went to that abandoned shack looking for a missing person. edit: when I tried again, it was ok now, I passed it and made it to the camp site.. So idk, maybe it got too glitchy when I tested various settings,

Well, you just made me watch a movie, no problems here.
