Thanks for the heads-up. This driver is definitely better in fps in BF1, GTA V and Far Cry Primal. Gained around 5-10fps in each title. DX12 in BF1 too.

Doubtful. Would love to see some statistical proof though

No SLI for Dirt4 even though it's the same engine as Dirt Rally. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WOW

It's my understanding that adding SLI support is more on the developer than it is nVidia since so many devs these days are so stuck on the console market that they'd rather not waste the time and money in the later stages of development to write in the necessary multi-gpu code for SLI (or crossfire) to work properly. nVidia simply can't add an SLI profile Without multi-gpu instructions present. I highly doubt nVidia passes on setting up an SLI profile for a game where the developer did everything on their end and only needed nVidia to finish the job.

As explaned earler Dirt 4 is based on Dirt Rally. Dirt Rally not only performs better but supports sli. So why would a $60 game not have sli and a $30 atm early acess have it?

If the SLI profile doesn't work on the previous game based on the same engine, then its clear that the developer didn't include the necessary multi-gpu instructions required for SLI to work properly. Basically they were too focused on getting the game done and released to bother with a feature only a tiny percentage of gamers utilize. Do I agree with what they did? Heck no. But to blame nVidia for it is just not right.

Am I the only one that deletes the telemetry folder after unpacking Nvidia's drivers? I hate that you can't unselect it from being installed.

So what exactly does this achieve?

Dirt 4 uses Ego 4.0 Dirt Rally uses Ego 2.5 Might want to fact check your claims before you claim them. And before you say "Well, that's still Ego!" No, if it has been modified in any way, it is no longer the same engine when it comes to compatibility with third party stuff, such as SLI. You don't know what they changed, how much they changed, and what that means for making it work with third party stuff, such as SLI. There's been a whole engine revision inbetween Dirt Rally and Dirt 4, Ego 3.0. Not to mention the fact that Ego 2.5 was made specifically for Dirt Rally, no other game used 2.5.

While that does enable SLI, it's still not properly implemented with proper multi-gpu instructions in the game itself. Thats my point.

Better sleep at night? No knocking at the door at 3am by secret police to take you and your family away? Apparently telemetry is connected directly to CIA, KGB and Mossad headquarters and all your secrets are being discussed at the highest level in their offices.

Damn, this is a year old driver!
