Right now...look like DCH only...I'll pass until standard version available, if at all. Don't want to rely on Microsoft for Control panel https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/181095/en-us GeForce Game Ready Driver
Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day-1.
Game Ready for Back 4 Blood
This new Game Ready Driver provides support for Back 4 Blood, which utilizes NVIDIA DLSS to boost performance by up to 46% at 4K. In addition, this new Game Ready Driver offers support for the latest new titles and updates, including the launch of the Crysis Remastered Trilogy and Baldur's Gate 3 which utilize NVIDIA DLSS, as well as DLSS updates to Rise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Chivalry 2. Additionally, this release provides optimal support for
The Riftbreaker and Sword and Fairy 7.
What’s New in Release 495
NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings
• Added Shader Cache Size control to set the maximum amount of disk space to use for storing shader compiles.
• Vertical Sync options for Optimus notebook GPUs are now the same as for desktop GPUs.
Fixed Issues in this Release
- [GeForce RTX 3080]: The system does not boot with two Samsung Odyssey G70A 28" monitors are connected to the GPU.
- [GeForce GTX 960]: The primary monitor lost after resume from sleep or shutdown.
- [Windows 11]: The screen flashes once after switching to the discrete GPU-only mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
- [Multiple Apps][Ansel/Freestyle]: Depth of field filter shows blurry characters.
- [Notebook]: Vulkan test applications run on the integrated graphics processor instead of the discrete GPU.

An important fact about this driver is that Windows 8.1/8/7 are no longer supported with this driver. If you have those old operating systems this driver will not work for you.

That’s the programmer job. Drivers can only do so much, but bad programming isn’t going to get fixed by NVidia.

It sounds like it's a bit of both - bad programming that revealed a hardware flaw in the cards.

I'm reading mostly good things about this one, aside from a bit of uproar over Nvidia abandoning standard versions of their drivers, but apparently even the dch version includes a seamless install of NVCP without having to get it from the microsoft store, maybe it doesn't make any difference anymore. I'm curious about being able to change the shader cache size. At any rate, I'll probably give this one a go tomorrow.

Similar thing happened to me. Updated Win11, RTSS, and the nVidia driver, rebooted, and FFXIV capped out at 24 FPS. Turns out, the power limit had been set to the minimum. Dragging the slider back in Precision X1 and applying fixed it. Weirdly, the temp limit seems a bit lower than it used to be while linked to the power slider at 105% but I'm not sure if that means anything.

Was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my performance sucked after installing the new drivers. But this was exactly my issue. Thanks for saving me further hours of head scratching! EVGA/nVidia pls fix.

I’ve only tested one title so far (RDR2) using this latest driver, and I’m missing 1 FPS according to its benchmark. 🤣

Actually I chickened out. Been following the various feedback threads and have been reading about a lot of issues - screen stutter, games crashing, downclocking with power limits (although that last one might not be too difficult to fix), etc. Probably going to wait a bit and maybe see if they release a hotfix driver. They made a ton of changes in this one apparently, including the first update to physX in like years.

I noticed that about this update, that there was a new PhysX version. Guess that explains the 830 MB download. And, here I was complaining about a 720 MB file only a month or so ago. Nvidia really needs to start breaking down their driver releases by series instead of having one all-encompassing file.

Didn’t someone say that the power slider needed to be reset in some cases thanks to this driver version?
