Nee toch?! Whoops.. Nah, don't think so. But I've tried it with a streaming service and it looks way better with level 4 of the rtx super resolution thing. I'm gonna try it again with some different levels to see the difference or without.

Gazebo:

PC freezes when booting up to Lock Screen. For 5-7 seconds not reacting to keypress or mouse movement, then logs in normally.

Rogerbee:

Which version of windows are you using?

Snake oils are usually decent-quality oils that won't break your car. It's just that it won't be able to reach 2x speed and time-travel when you hit that 2x speed.

Gazebo:

Win 10x64 (19045.3693)

This is a valid argument. I have thought about it a lot but I have come to the conclusion that millions of others have telemetry so not having it on my machine will likely not change anything. Although, I may be wrong on that.

Exostenza:

The fact remains that clean drivers remove all the bloat which the vast majority of people will never use and most of the telemetry. I have been using them for years without a single issue attributed to the clean driver package because what is removed is simply not used which is why it is termed bloat. My experience, and the experience of a lot of others, has shown that you can remove all this bloat without incident. You don't have to use them but saying they are snake oil is not true because they do what they claim to do - debloat and remove most telemetry. There wouldn't be an entire community dedicated to apps that debloat and a massive thread dedicated to clean drivers if the the removal of bloat and telemetry caused issues. This is a valid argument. I have thought about it a lot but I have come to the conclusion that millions of others have telemetry so not having it on my machine will likely not change anything. Although, I may be wrong on that. I wish that nVidia had the same feature as AMD with the bug report tool built into the control panel so any issue could be easily and accurately reported to them. I found AMD was much quicker to fix issues than nVidia because of this. I really miss the impeccable driver experience that I had with my 6800 XT.

oneoulker:

My reports are unique as I'm the insane person that tries to run path tracing at 1440p with 8 GB VRAM. I'm sure I made some random NVIDIA employee's day at some point (they probably had a lot of laughs). But seeing how they're trying to improve VRAM related stuff from the driver side in recent months, they realized that they created their own monster with such a huge 8 GB userbase and now even without ray tracing, it becomes a problematic budget so I guess they will have to slay their own monster at some point if they want to keep releasing 8-12 GB cards for 60 and 70 series.

TheDeeGee:

Imagine if everyone removed telemetry, the drivers would become as crap as AMD.

janos666:

This observation is not limited to this driver but I think something changed not very long ago regarding the general "GSync+VSync+limiter" recommendation. I think either nVidia or Microsoft changed something and GSync now seems to provide tear-free moving image without explicitly setting VSync to ON. I recently had a conversation about this on another forum. The other party objected, so I fired up CS2 to record a 960fps video for him exposing the tear-line I used to see with GSync on but VSync off. It wasn't there in windowed-fullscreen mode. So I fired up old Half-Life 2 in fullscreen mode (but Windows 11's "fullscreen optimizations" and similar "optimize for VRR" settings enabled) and the tear-line still wasn't present (the one that used to be really close to the bottom of the screen, easy to spot with HL2's HUD around that area and by moving parallel to the fairly low-detail wall textures of this game). I wonder which one of the 2 below happened (if not a third one): 1: nVidia realized that ~99% of people are severely misinterpreting the role of enabling VSync on top of GSync and decided to make GSync tear-free regardless of the state of the "VSync" switch. 2: Microsoft's "fullscreen optimizations" (that translates fullscreen to windowed-fullscreen regardless of GSync) paired with the VRR-optimization features (hidden deep inside the advanced Windows graphics settings, next to HAGS) "force" the kind of VSync required for tear-free GSync (effectively preventing tearing with VRR regardless of fullscreen/windowed_fullscreen and/or generic VSync toogles).

Idk what it says at your settings, but for me it's only working/activated while using 1440p screen or higher res: https://i.imgur.com/foPp6JI.png

jarablue:

What is funny is that I have had 0 issues with nv drivers since forever. But coming to guru3d forums, you would think that they are unusable completely. I wonder if the people who complain about the drivers are using speak and spell computers from the 80s. Crazy that I have yet to see 1 issue pop up in any games. In like 20 years. Ah well. Speak and spell computers need love too.

Kezen:

So disabling control flow guard actually does something for stability in some games ? I have heard about it but always thought it was placebo, for both performance and stability.

Exostenza:

hope that the 40 series and post pandemic sales are showing nVidia that they can't get away with it anymore.

Blackfyre:

That's a good amount of fixes. Waiting for the "my mouse feels smoother on the desktop" comments soon.

Forza Horizon stutters fixed?
