Here we go

Thank you, Hilbert. Let's try this. It's a pity, I was waiting for a 545 branch, that insiders have been testing for a while and they get 550, so I hoped that 545 they would throw to us, but no miracle happened:(

At the time of writing this message, there is no driver 537.42 on the nvidia website in the downloads section, only 537.34. Stranger Things,ha?.. Hilbert, You're a wizard!:)

Nice driver, performances are strong same as previous one 537.34, still have to test more heavy games 🙂 😎

Is this driver actually needed for Cyberpunk 2077's DLSS3.5 mode or is it just a case of it being more optimised for the game than the previous driver? In other words, if you don't install this driver then are you unable to use DLSS3.5 in Cyberpunk 2077?

The drivers are not under English (UK) yet on the Nvidia site, only English (US). EDIT: Now under English (UK) too.

545-550 brance drivers in the Dev channel are test drivers and worthless. on the Windows Dev channel, higher numbers say nothing. It is what it is.

You jumped on the train later 😎

Not all the time these dev builds need to be in development. Just like insider updates for Windows it shouuld be released sometime for others.

What is the difference between Game Ready Driver and Studio Driver? As I notice every time, the Studio version of the driver have an increased installation .exe size (why?), but the Gamer version supports GF cards 900 series and lower. The studio version does not support cards below the 1000 series (Why also? Both versions looks almost identical). What is the more detailed difference between these two driver versions, other than their download size and supported legacy video cards?

Installed fine (upgrade), working good. Tested: BF 2042 - OK FH5 RT HDR - OK Diablo 4 HDR - OK Age of Wonders 4 - OK CP 2077 HDR Path Tracing + DLSS P RR = OK (60FPS average) Playable :P

As an amateur, I can say that the difference is in optimizations. May be different fine-tuning in driver or in Nvidia Profile Inspector. With GRD you will get more fps in games, in studio work with special software Studio is more preferable and stable, because stability is more important than speed there.

Msi mode not enabled for the 40 series.

The difference between Game Ready and Studio Drivers is the release schedule mostly (Studio predictably once a month, Game Ready whenever NVIDIA feels like it), and the Studio Drivers are sometimes more conservative about switching to the next driver branch if e.g. a new driver branch (e.g. R545) has some new features required for new games that are not necessary for productive apps. There are no differences in terms of performance/stability/driver-tuning in general.

I'm on the Windows 11 dev. Chanal for a long time and the dev. drivers are rubbish for gaming ,I always use the current nVidia drivers and never have problems, in the future whe will get those driver numbers released by nVidia, instead of Ms / nVidia alpha or beta drivers when they works optimally.

No i didn't the drivers where correct and international, when they appear on the nVidia website, at the time you wrote your message.
