If I end up with issues like these, I'll just roll back to 512.96 or even 516.25. Edit: Funny how these aren't stickied; probably due to the numerous issues.

Still waiting for a driver that will finally enable the GSP (GPU System Processor) in our vid cards. Hopefully, NVIDIA will release one in the near future.

So far everything is about the same although minor performance changes put these closer to R495 than R510 I'd say.
true, shame opengl seems to have broken spectacularly on rtx cards

So hang on... the release notes specifically state that this is driver with support for Jurassic World Evolution 2's ray-tracing features but yet there are dozens of posts on the Steam and GeForce.com forums from people claiming that this driver causes graphical artefacts and flickering in the game. How on earth did that happen? Do NVIDIA not test their drivers prior to release??? I'm almost embarrassed for them.
There was a last minute change in the game client on June 14th that introduced incompatibility between game and grd, compatibility testing was already finalized prior to this patch.

IIRC; Turing and RDNA1 cards support SM6.5, Ampere and RDNA2 support SM6.6.
Everything supports SM6.6, even pascal and maxwell.

This driver has been working fine for me, mostly been playing Apex with it.

Open GL working fine here in Binding Of Isaac Rebirth, Atom Zombie Smasher, Shooters Pool (bar the game bug issue which has an impending fix) on a 3080 12GB. I'm sure I have various other Open GL titles I could try as well.

And which ones were better? 495 or 510?

Another driver with random Windows event viewer errors, 512.95 are super stable for me, so will stay with them for a while.
Any clues? I'd love to look for some that you are seeing. I just looked through all of the last 24 hours of Event Viewer and didn't see anything GPU related. I am on Turing versus your Ampere, maybe that has something to do with it.

Looks very random so far. But it's ~99% driver's fault, so imho just stay away from it, unless you're ok with potential random GPU app crashes. Really wonder how this could slip through.

I'm working on testing a slew of titles myself to find out which are and aren't affected, i'll be starting with some of nvidia's opengl tech demo's from the Tesla generation and up. Uningine opengl is confirmed broken as an update.

Smooth driver, i'll stick with this one for a while. No issues here.

@big ROBOT bill Why are you using the Windows store for anything?!? Should be common knowledge by now that before you install a new driver, you should deactivate your internet connection, hence you don't need any store for installing Nvidia driver. The drivers always come with NCP included, no need for additional steps or third party installs.
Yes that's what usually happens and I do disconnect the net when doing driver uninstall/reinstalls. This time it went poo. Now my whole machine will not start and I cannot even reinstall win11, it tells me my machine is not able to run it (it has done so for several years)

I can't tell you as ~1 fps difference even on a 50 isn't "better" or "worse" IMO. You won't be able to spot this difference outside of a benchmark run.

Had destiny 2 freeze my pc after about 15 minutes of using this driver. Never had this happen before. Reverted back to previous driver and all is fine again. 3090 and 5950x

Sounds like your bios has reset to windows 11 incompatible settings.

Probably placebo, but for me these drivers are silky smooth in win11 desktop (still on 21H2) and in a couple of games, Fortnite and FFXIV (thats all i played in the last couple days). Seemed the same as last driver for me on installing, but then later i rebooted for something else and my desktop felt noticeably smoother moving mouse and basic moving around explorer windows. (I use 100hz for my desktop, connected to LG tv).

Can't say that I notice anything being different on the desktop, on either a 60, 120 or 144 displays here.

Unigine 😉
Our QA team was not able to reproduce this. Can you share more details? Specifically: 1. What resolution were you running at? 2. Were you running multiple monitors? 3. What settings are you using in the Unigine benchmark? 4. What settings did you change in the NVIDIA Control Panel from the default settings? Thanks.

I haven't tried rolling back yet, but Elden Ring crashes to desktop when I try to load my save with these. Edit to say it crashed twice (maybe shader compiling?) and then played fine after. Maybe a game bug, maybe my stuff, I dunno.
