Thanks, just as I was about to update to the hotfix driver.
Can anyone tell me what the sharpening situation is as of these past few drivers; does CP sharpening still only apply when used in Global Settings or did Nvidia revert to the initial behavior where sharpening would work individually per game profile?
It's the only thing really preventing me from updating.

After months of problems with Youtube and Google constantly dropping connection from Geforce Experience, the issue is still not fixed.
Besides wiping and reinstalling GFE I made entirely fresh Google account, and its still no-go. Constantly having to login kills the quality of the product itself (GFE). All-in-all what used to be a minor inconvenience has become nicely annoying 🙂
On top of this Broadcast LIVE suddenly stopped working two days ago. "Your broadcast to Youtube has failed".
Am I crazy to think that Youtube is saving bandwidth by purposely throttling down and discouraging certain, less desirable traffic?
NONE OF THIS is happening with Twitch.
Oh and... Instant Replay and Record videos have wrong gamma, contrast, crushed black - they are too dark when uploaded to Youtube. Yet these same videos look fine played locally on my PC by any media player. Only when uploaded and transcoded by Youtube they become too dark. And this only happens with GFE videos.

I set individual sharpening in Rocket League and it works fine. : )
Thanks for showing that it should show whql on gpuz. I ran DDU and installed fresh and now says whql. Guess something was not quite correct when I just installed over the Hot Fix version. Thanks peps
I installed this over the Hotfix and GPU-Z still shows this as a Beta which is odd as it was shown as successfully installed. And, yes, I have restarted my PC.
Does that mean you have to use DDU to uninstall it then reinstall it to get it to show as WHQL? I would not have thought this would be necessary as the only thing that is different from the Hotfix is the certification.

Dunno. I didn't have the hotfix - came from 456.55.
2 or 3 times I was at my wits end and had to use DD on my R9 290 - it didn't end well 🙂 So it's a last resort for me.
My entire Good Practices Self-Memo consists of:
Reboot BEFORE installing
If you compare each driver unpacked there are different sized and dated files, so it's not just a rename HF to WHQL.
I would assume they would've recompiled it, but the version being the same would be odd if its actually different behavior-wise, its not like they don't have an unlimited amount of numbers.

So it's just the same hotfix driver with a couple of security vulnerabilities fixed?
GFE won't even let me update saying I already have the latest driver (hotfix).

Sharpening can be forced for any game if it's enabled in the game profile. But it produces very different results depending on the API used in-game (dx9, dx11 etc), I'm not sure if 442 drivers, where sharpening worked the best, had similar result. Freestyle sharpening applies consistent sharpening no matter the API. I have comparison pics in this post describing another bug: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/geforce-456-55-whql-driver-download-discussion.434418/page-5#post-5837093
No idea how global sharpening works now, it didn't work in a couple of games I tried and I didn't test it any further to see whether it's related to optimus or another bug since I never use global sharpening anyway.
Twitch is fine for me.
Do you get periodic Youtube auto logoffs? I have to "Connect" and "Log In"every so often; getting dropped from youtube like every few hours.

If that was the reason, COVID , whatever, I'd be fine with it. Just say so. Don't do me silently, stealthy. But then they would have to be transparent. Which opens a can of worms. Because for one, in all likeliness this wouldn't be done impartially.
PS
None of this Youtube/Nvidia practices, real or imaginary, reduce my video/streaming quality.
nope
