Any boost to metro exodus?
I just installed them after DDU + optimization routine! Gona test Metro Exodus, Far Cry New Dawn and several other games. I'll report back soon! 🙂 EDIT: Metro Exodus performs the same in pure numbers but it runs a bit smoother overall!

What is DCH?

Great this is good news: 2512505-Metro Exodus colors look over saturated and blown out when DLSS is used together with HDR Now I can do both RTX+DLSS+HDR

Just like with 418.91 I have downclocking issues with the GPU. This is a typical Apex game with a light OC of +80/+600 NVCPL Power management setting to : Optimal (default) https://i.imgur.com/oVqtDi8.png I'll go back to 418.81 and see how that one is.

New type of driver bundle. Do not bother with it.

Nothing wrong with using DCH 😛

Out of curiosity, is it only occurring on that game? I haven't witnessed this behavior on my 2080ti but I also haven't tried that game yet.

Still have not crashed yet using dx12 on my end, Just for anyone who wants to try it. Its not totally broken.

I did not say "wrong", I did say "do not bother" because there are no benefits for us consumers.

This is a normal behavior for the GPU on optimal power when the game doesn't load it to its limits. Sometimes this may lead to stuttering, mostly when you're using vsync.

Driver is working fine here. Just stopping by to say if you have an old GPU that you feel is running suboptimally, try replacing thermal paste - my temps went down 16°C degrees, from 83 °C to 67 °C in the same test. Auto OC went up like ~30MHz too.

I always switch to adaptive power management globally, and to prefer performance in games`profiles.

Same here, my clocks are always flat max, but this is on 9 series, 10+ have boost3 which seems to be more dynamic.

It didn't crash on my system either but DX11 is giving me smoother and better performance overall so..! 🙂 Btw I tested also FCND and the game is running like a champ! Keepers for me, i'll keep testing more games and see overall stability and performance just in case. No issues to report yet.

I had one crash , but I guess that was a alt+tab issue. Next reboot didn't crash anymore. Will try dx11 now if it's smoother, by dx12 I saw occasional saving/loading stream stutter. Most of the time right before auto save But that was before I also realized it had optimal plan and everything on default, will try tweaked profile now, btw I'm still at 418.81 atm.

HeavyHemi:

What resolution and settings are you playing at? I can almost keep a min of 60 FPS with every setting maxed out but no AA. With your 2080 Ti, and if you're using vsync, you might see downclocking due to the low load on the GPU. But that lack of details, I am just guessing...

I knew you'd say that so I did a fresh install of 417.75 and ran the game again with the same OC and everything 🙂 Still with the Optimal setting. https://i.imgur.com/1T456uX.png Not a single drop anywhere as you see. @HeavyHemi I'm playing at 3440x1440 and pretty much max settings. @tensai28 No, I've seen the same thing in FFXV with frequent drops to 1600 or even 1200MHz, the graph looks like a roller coaster, Mega Man 11 runs at 425MHz and so on. @dr_rus One would think that but the frequent downclocking introduces a lot of stutter @mbk1969 You're right and it actually solves most of the problems on later drivers though I never had to do this on my 1080Ti.

I switch away from optimal not because it is flawed or something, but because it was introduced for laptop users. For desktop gamers with "F@ck the power economy" motto adaptive is (more) appropriate.
