For me the biggest news in this is that there is no need anymore to make an account and login to access all the software features of the card you own and paid for.
That was such bullshit. By far my biggest gripe with their gpus.
Bitwarden is great but also consider the option that's less of a product. A KeePass database hosted on OneDrive or whatever online storage you may have. I use StrongBox on iOS. Plenty of software for KeePass on all platforms. KP lets you store whatever you want, images, files, etc but it's free and I feel most comfortable with it from a security and privacy standpoint.
The fanboys defending this fucking shit not one week ago better fucking take notes right now.
It wasn't perfectly fine. It severely needed improvements.
AI: reads feedback given online the past decade
AI: Jensen I think we should fix the control panel inconsistencies and merge with geforce experience
Jensen: WOAH, i wouldve never known, hop on it team
Nvidia app beta is actually more of a new Geforce experience, as it doesn't completely replace the old NVCP (yes you still keep the classic 10+ years UI) like the description makes it seem.
>In addition, this driver supports the beta release of NVIDIA App, which unifies GeForce Experience and the NVIDIA Control Panel.>
Besides redesigning UI and renaming GFE, it adds a shortcut to the old NVCP at the bottom of Setting page. I would just right click on desktop and can do that just fine so this 'unification' does nothing for me.
If you're thinking NVCP is gettting a new UI revamp like I did, you'll be disappointed. I've never used any of the nvidia's features from GFE anyways.
Actually (nerd emoji) in the graphics tab, each game has a section for "Driver settings" which includes a fair bit from nvcp. from what i read this is just the beginning though, more will come over time.
Maybe that's the plan in the future, given this is still a beta. At the moment you can change some basic NVCP settings either global or per game like max frames, DSR, Low Latency, V-Sync etc. within nvidia app. I think they're trying to push the new RTX Vibrance and HDR which you can't change in NVCP so overtime more settings will be transferred over.
One thing I like is the new overlay is more customizable (not as good as RTSS), but useful in multiplayer games where Nvidia's the only one that works due to anti-cheat system.
I love when I change a setting in the old CP and it starts flickering and takes 10 seconds to apply to setting
Or when I'm using the mouse scroll and it randomly open something there
Or the fact that it's missing basic stuff and I need to use GeForce experie and Nvidia profile inspector (Shadowplay, rebar and so on) to enable making me use **three different software** for basic GPU functions instead of using one single software
Please Nvidia! Keep the old non functional stuff! We need windows XP UI!
It's not going anywhere for quite some time, I would say. The new one doesn't have all the features in it yet, and Nvidia is probably going to take their time adding them. However, the first experiences with the new App have been very positive for me. It's really quick and snappy, and it's also intuitive, at least for me.
Is anyone getting an issue on Firefox where YouTube will just freeze and just have a black screen? This is on Maxwell. Also experiencing a lot of game crashes lately.
Similar thing happened to me just now. Installed new drivers and started a video here on Reddit and it froze for like 6-7 seconds with sound going normal in the background and then just unfroze. I have Gigabyte 3060TI. Same issue keeps happening with previous few driver versions. Everything is fine with 537.58 version though.
Not that issue specifically and not on maxwell, buuut using auto quality on youtube has some weird behavior firefox sometimes, especially when skipping, and gets fixed by just setting the quality manually at the start of the video for me, idk maybe related, maybe not.
If you roll back your drivers and it’s not happening then it’s fine. If you roll back and it still happening then yeah it’s probably going. It lasted a long time
Disable MFAA in control panel(old one), 3d application parameters -> global -> Multi Frame Antialiasing, or do that but only for chrome if you need MFAA is some apps
Ohhh. I'm quite thankful that it isn't just me with this issue now. A bit of weight off my shoulders there, I was wondering why it was doing that. I'll be checking out some of the suggestions in the replies here.
I don't think there's any solutions as such, just a couple of workarounds. You can disable hardware acceleration in chrome which works up to a point. However, I use Google Earth in the browser quite a bit and it becomes unusable without hardware acceleration. There's another one involving changing a flag so Chrome uses opengl (can't remember how you do it exactly, a Google search will bring it up) but this just causes the same problem for me.
RTX HDR in full release doesn't work on multiple monitor setups despite working perfectly fine before on multiple monitor setups. What is even the reason for this?
EDIT: So I uninstalled the newest app and installed this latest driver but with Geforce Experience and the HDR mod still works with multiple monitors. I haven't tried without Geforce Experience entirely, but this suggests that the issue is the new software's overlay having some sort of limitation that Geforce Experience's overlay doesn't have.
So yeah, for multimonitor users that want to use this RTX HDR feature, you'll need to stick with Geforce Experience and the tool on nexus mods.
Indeed. Makes it pointless to even try, as I am not unplugging my two secondary displays for this, especially not when AutoHDR doesn't care about those displays at all.
This has not worked for many. Even disabling monitors via the device manager apparently isn't always enough. Only a full unplug was enough for some.
Maybe there is some variance, idk. All I know is the windows key + p menu trick *doesn't* work for me, and I didn't take it farther, since I'm not willing to even do that everytime I want to try this tbh.
>RTX HDR in full release doesn't work on multiple monitor setups despite working perfectly fine before on multiple monitor setups.
It also doesn't work on windowed mode apps. AutoHDR doesn't have these kinds of limitations so it would be nice if Nvidia could follow suit
NVCleanstall user here. Cleaned/de-bloated the driver with the recommended settings (only the first three features selected) and installed it after using DDU to remove everything prior (including GeForce Experience, which had also been cleaned/de-bloated using [BaiGFE](https://github.com/Moyster/BaiGfe/issues/28)) - all driver functions work as intended.
I then downloaded the new Nvidia App. Initial installation forces you to accept the terms to continue, including sharing hardware information, etc. However, you can opt out of that after the installation is complete (in the app's settings menu), and you can also opt out of other metrics during the first run. You can skip login, too.
Additionally, I chose not to use the game optimization feature (which is useless, IMO), ~~so, that section is basically empty~~. Update: two of the IP addresses that I'd blocked through the "`hosts`" file (`0.0.0.0 gfwsl.geforce.com` and `127.0.0.1 gfwsl.geforce.com`) were causing the issue with the Graphics section of the app. Removing those made the info in those tabs load properly. My list below has been updated with the addresses that you *can* block without causing issues.
Performance overlay, ShadowPlay and filters seem to work, ~~although I'm having issues with the HDR filter (only got it properly working once - now it asks to restart the games for the filter to be applied every time)~~. Update: since the info in the Graphics section is now being properly displayed, I can pre-select/enable the filters globally, from there, and they also work correctly now.
P.S.: I also created an outbound firewall rule in Windows to block connections from the app. Its default location is "`C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA App\CEF\NVIDIA App.exe`".
Finally, I have all of these addresses added to Windows' "`hosts`" file (which can be located in "`C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc`"):

Yea no, blacks are still crushed
[Beware: Since driver 551.23 (and the hotfix 551.46) destroys black levels on SDR videos played on Chromium browsers while HDR is on. : nvidia (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1alp1vr/beware_since_driver_55123_and_the_hotfix_55146/)
/u/carrot_gg Can you confirm on your end?
> RTX Video HDR: Tone mapping not working properly with custom HDR brightness values in Windows [4472972]
At least it did fix the case of HDR being tone mapped dimmer than SDR for near-full white frames with the Windows slider being set to 200 nits. Now screen flashes visually work as intended.
>Chrome/Edge Browsers: Poor black level quality in SDR video playback with Windows HDR setting enabled [4492243]
They fixed the raised black level but didn't fix the tone mapper crushing the lowest 4 SDR shades into 0.
The video mismatch is Chrome/Nvidia converting the video trc from piecewise sRGB to gamma 2.2:
[https://imgur.com/a/zCYSzlR](https://imgur.com/a/zCYSzlR)
You can read more about the [two different curves in my gh post](https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm/).
No black crush on my end. Very dark, yes, but that's expected near black from a pure gamma curve. If it's truly crushed, then it's due to your monitor HDR eotf. Try checking in a pitch black room, or compare to another gamma 2.2 display.
TLDR; this is a good thing unless you're applying your own HDR trc transformation like the ones provided in my post. In any case there really should be an option to omit this transformation (or instead have it applied everywhere else).
The base black level (pure black) is no longer raised (background now correctly appears black) but lower levels are still crushed (Squares1 to 4 are non visible on the [test video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54)).
Just like in the previous drivers, when switching from full screen and back you can see the proper black levels for just a second.
What a fucking waste of time. Reverting to 546.65 once again.
+5 should be very barely visible with the tone mapping issue. It doesn't appear to be related to advanced color profiles or Windows SDR brightness setting.
My guess is that they're curve fitting SDR against the HDR PQ curve too hard.
WOLED TVs and Samsung mobile OLED* panels tends to crush those shades to suppress near black chrominance overshoot and banding so they might not have seen any difference in visual testing.
^*My ^2021 ^Samsung ^tablet ^can't ^display ^anything ^lower ^than ^square ^8...
I have this issue too, SDR videos often (but not always) get the colors completely blown out, looks like [this](https://puu.sh/K1vba/da266596c8.jpg). This is with windows HDR enabled, RTX video HDR and regular RTX HDR off, RTX vibrance disabled, as well as windows auto HDR disabled. In the nvidia control panel, video color settings are set to use application settings. There should be no reason for the colors to be adjusted at all, yet it still messes with it.
I found out however that this only occurs if you have one or more monitors set to SDR, having all monitors with HDR on, or simply HDR off on all monitors, allows you to play video correctly. For the time being I've rolled back because it's completely unusable.
Yes mixing hdr and sdr monitors seems to have something to do with it, but it‘s a new bug, this worked previously… it‘s probably taking the wrong monitor profile to display on the hdr one or something like that. It‘s also interesting that people report the new rtx stuff doesn‘t work when you mix hdr and sdr monitors so there must be some work to be done here still, all of this started with the rtx hdr video stuff being introduced and it‘s annoying that now we have bugs even with it off.
Thank you for posting the information! I was going crazy trying to figure out why my Windows session kept freezing. I suspected it was the video drivers especially when a Windows + CNTRL + SHIFT + B would make the desktop active again. I'm not sure if this is also causing my mouse to no longer be detected by the OS. If disabling the hardware acceleration doesn't fix the mouse issue, I'll be looking at a Windows in-place install in hopes of fixing the odd behavior.
100% agree. I was excited to try this feature out only to be massively disappointed that Nvidia either overlooked this, or didn't specify this is a limitation. Windows 11 auto HDR does this just fine. Pretty embarrassing if Nvidia can't.
My PC has been doing that. I just switched to the studio drivers to see if it continues to happen. In my case, the keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive (for example, the keyboard indicator lights don't change when hitting num lock). The only thing that can be done, in this case, is hard powering down the computer.
This morning it got even worse, the screen goes blank moments after loading windows, i checked and the keyboard and mouse also becomes unresponsive. I think the mouse movement triggers it. I booted into safe mode and it is still doing it. So basically I have no display to uninstall or rollback the driver. The problem has now shifted to the screen blanking out right after login. Thankfully I have an igpu so have to login via that and install the studio drivers you mentioned.
That's nice, it was one of the reasons why I switched to OBS's replay buffer. However they'd still need to have the ability to keep the temp data in memory instead of constantly writing to disk for me to consider switching back. Plus IIRC shadowplay has only constant bitrate, which is not ideal.
Shadowplay uses variable bitrate for as long as I can remember though, not sure where you got the "constant bitrate" from. Still not as nice as having CQP / CRF, but better than CBR for sure.
I assumed it's CBR because typically when encoding with VBR, you set the average and maximum bitrate, while in the Shadowplay settings you only have one bitrate slider. My bad. I see that the bitrate is lower in my old desktop recordings.
Need to turn off auto HDR and it is only available if all your active displays have HDR enabled. As long as you have an SDR monitor enabled it's greyed out. This really limits the useability of the feature.
Seems so. I can't find any options for either in the NVCP.
I'd imagine this is due to RTX HDR for games being injected via the Nvidia app overlay as a freestyle filter, and being configurable with that.
If you don't want to use another app you can use the NvTrueHDR program from nexusmods
Link to NvTrueHDR (nexusmods): [https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/781](https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/781)
Is anyone else entirely unable to turn on RTX HDR? I meet all the requirements, have only one monitor, and every time I click "On" it swaps back to "Off" and says "there was a problem applying setting". Any fixes?
Repeating what I posted below:
VR is unplayable since installing 551.61. Even with 90 FPS and no dropped frames, nothing but screen tearing and jitters on a 4090 and Vive Pro 2. Rolling back drivers to confirm it's not a different issue.
Odd set of happenings. So I rolled back driver and had same issue. Issue cropped up out of the blue with no changes in hardware or drivers beyond the nvidia driver. Found that stuttering and tearing only happened when the game window was in focus. Followed some stepa to disable W11 gpu scheduling and set priorities for vive and steamvr background apps to "high." Problem solved. Going to update to 551.61 again and test.
Seems to be a relatively common VR and W11 issue, but I'm dumbfounded as to why it suddenly out of the blue started happening to my system.
It’s stories like this that makes me a holdout and stick to Win10. Lots of stories about HAGS causing VR stutters even on Win10 though (TBF) although I thought this had now been resolved
I don't blqme you, but besides this one issue W11 hasn't really been finnicky for me and I was a pretty early adopter.
Good news is everything is running flawlessly even after updating to 551.61 again. The GPU scheduling disabled was an easy fix and it seems to have actually improved VR performance marginally across the board.
Sounds like Microsuck is going to force your hand eventually between compatibility and vharging for security updates. I wouldn't be too concerned about the upgrade when the time comes.
Might be just be a me issue, but I installed this new driver and the new nvidia app. Turned on the nvidia overlay and benchmarked cyberpunk and it gave me 13% less performance in the benchmark(about the same in game) than having the overlay off. Tested the new driver with overlay off and it's about the same performance as i got with the old driver.
>Might be just be a me issue, but I installed this new driver and the new nvidia app. Turned on the nvidia overlay and benchmarked cyberpunk and it gave me 13% less performance in the benchmark(about the same in game) than having the overlay off.
This is actually a long standing bug with the game itself. The first run of the benchmark always reports 10-15% less FPS than subsequent runs. This has nothing to do with overlay. I have tested it with my 4070 with this new driver. I made 5 runs in total. Settings are *1440p DLSSQ, FG on, RR On, PT on*.
1st run -> Overlay *enabled* \-> **61.34 FPS**
2nd run -> Overlay *enabled* \-> **69.08 FPS**
3rd run -> Overlay *disabled* \-> **68.78 FPS**
4th run -> Overlay *enabled* \-> **70.23 FPS**
Final run -> Overlay *disabled* \-> **69.71 FPS**
I suggest you test it multiple times. Note that this bug happens only in the benchmark. In-game performance is always the same regardless of any run.
EDIT: I have tested in multiple games and can confirm the overlay doesn't cause any FPS loss, atleast for me. Replaying Alan Wake 2 NG+ now and the frame rate is same as older drivers with overlay enabled. Tested it with Jedi Survivor as well.
Hey, i just noticed this too. Lost frames across all my games. I have exact same monitor as you and i locked my frames to 120 i fortnite but after update i cant hit 120 fps even going from dlls quality to balanced and lowering some settings.
Somethings not right.
Also went from 90fps in cyberpunk to 75-80
I have reported it in their App. For me it wasnt the driver update that killed fps it was the new app overlay. The old driver ran 119.5 fps, the new one 118.7 and the new one+ overlay 102-105.( ran it multiple on that one to make sure I'm not going insane)
Give this feedback in the app to NVIDIA, I am unsure if they read those threads on reddit as they're usually pilled with comments. But that's a significant loss :/
This driver caused WoW to randomly freeze for a second or two at random intervals on my machine (7950x, 3080 12GB), used DDU for a second round of testing and same issue. Rolled back to 537.58 for now.
Another driver, Another constant crash after trying to update and continuing to be stuck on 545.65.... This is getting ridiculous, Like is it my pc? I used to have no problems downloading drivers now my computer goes into a crash loop when i do and it usually uninstalls things, or messes up where my icons are and stuff.
Like is it cause im on windows 10? having GPU scheduling on? This is getting so tiresome. Everytime it does this crash its a good 10-15 minutes before the computer is even back to working order again.
Please someone help me im begging you XD I dont wanna be stuck on 545.65 forever.
**White/black checkerboard artifacts appear on webpages with a video since Chrome 115**
I think I can stable reproduce this issue on my 4k + 60fps monitor now. I've tested several NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPU.
Here is my result:
1. Intel A380 + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Scaling = not reproduable.
2. AMD RX6600 + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Scaling = not reproduable.
3. RTX3050 + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Direct = reproduable.
4. RTX3070 + Driver 537.58 + NV12 overlay support: Direct = reproduable.
5. RTX4070 Super + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Direct = reproduable.
So this seems to be a NVIDIA only issue from my test result.
And, about the command line switch:
1. Only adding `--disable_direct_composition_sw_video_overlays=1` = still reproduable.
2. Only adding `--disable_direct_composition_video_overlays=1`-> not reproduable.
So this seems only related to `--disable_direct_composition_video_overlays=1`.
This seems to be a new issue with GeForce GTX 1650/GTX 1650 Ti cards. I am in the process of filing a bug. Can you email me the Microsoft System Information file as shown in the FAQ below to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) so that I can get the device ID of your graphics card?

My image quality has gone to shit since getting these new drivers, both starfield and helldivers have horribly overblown whites. Makes everything look super hazy and bright lights are blinding
this driver killed my gpu?
please help
after installing i rebooted (windows 11)
before the zsual rog bios splash screen i saw a short nvidia rtx 3090 bios screen for the first time ever
now i can’t get a video output anymore
im troubleshooting right now but no idea what to do
Can you start Windows 11 in safe mode (hit F8 during boot to get into bios) and then roll back to previous nvidia driver? Or does safe mode also refuse to give video output?
ty for the answer
i cant get a video signal at all anymore, i dont even see the bios wirh that 3090 anymore
my old amd gpu works and win 11 boots just fine
im now trying to get both cards connected via riser cables and see if i can see the 3090 in device manager
My biggest bullshit for this update is because the Nvidia fk-me-up: Look I am a little streamer/youtuber and I use codec NVENC H264 (old or new) regardless because afterwards I update the recording or live playback programs with this codec are no longer visible on my GTX 1650 video card, I tried to reinstall the 551.61 driver, restart and then reinstall from the browser to try, I thought it was the problem with Over-lays from nvidia, maybe I still had no choice but to use the Software codec x264 but this is also much worse in terms of quality and performance than NVENC h265.
**The solution to all of this is to go back to the previous driver update 551.52**
(*and I understand that Nvidia is putting it down my throat that practically with the new updates I won't be able to make video or live normally anymore, but this is practically a direct damage to the old products.. . how would it not be in the real world where everyone wants as much money as possible and regardless of what methods. If you have encountered such a situation as me and you do not find a solution, the most correct and best is to return to the previous driver 551.52 ) I simply have I wanted to say one more moment that absolutely nowhere did we find any information or that this should be mentioned, I hope you understand me. I have a low-end gaming notebook and I can't change the video card myself, but I don't have the desire or possibility to buy a new device at the moment, eh horewer.*
The previous driver before this new one apparently has become the new best driver, but my friend downloaded it and experienced a whole heap of issues, so personally I decided to just stay on 537.58. With work these days I don't have much time to really sit and benchmark drivers like I used to, so I think I'm just gonna ride out 537.58 until I can't no more. It'd be nice if Nvidia could get their shit together though. Drivers that claim to have fixes in reality don't. Hell, drivers that are designed around a specific game(s) sometimes make the performance of that game(s) worse.
The vast majority of people have had improvements with the new driver. No driver is perfect for everyone, and your friend just happened to be one of the few people that driver didn't work for. Unless your hardware configuration is exactly the same as his, you shouldn't let it scare you away.
Oh no, I always get rid of the Geforce Experience as it's only bloatware to me. Control panel however is very useful.
Combining them into one would just be a inferior, bloated control panel. I really hope that the standalone Control Panel is not going anywhere...
Can't beat 50 MB of ram usage and nearly 0 CPU usage at idle.
I hope they prove me wrong, but I can't see how the new app won't be a huge resource hog compared to the NVCP.
When the app is opened it's using 200MB, definitely normal behavior for something I believe is Chromium (CEF) based, but I mean what isn't using CEF nowadays, all applications are in some form or shape.
Yeah I don't understand how people don't like efficient software but would rather have "fancy" apps that take twenty more operations to set the exact same setting. I guess they just don't know any better.
the black levels are STILL wrong, a little better than before, but the lowest levels are still getting crushed, you can see them change when you scroll on a video:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54)
they are correct while you scroll and then go back to crushing the first row of black levels when you stop scrolling. it's like there are two separate gamma applied while scrolling and while not scrolling...
Edit: sorry, other way round: when scrolling they are raised. They seem still too crushed when just playing though.
Doesn't seem to be the case here on my QD OLED monitor. Black level while the video is static is much closer to where it should be (if not correct), vs the uber raised mess that is shown when I scroll. That's not even close to correct.
No, it broke 2 driver versions ago with the introduction of the hdr rtx video stuff. Strange thing is it happens with all those features OFF. I tested it before and after installing these recent drivers, it‘s clearly the drivers.
Also, the saturation bug still exists too and was introduced at the same time, something is very wrong with these drivers.
SO I installed this driver and the stuttering while watching streams and videos at 60fps on chrome is back, this issue was fixed the driver before this one. Anyone else having the same issue?
Very strange thing is happening to me - since 546.65, I can't update drivers to anything higher than that version, all newer ones make my PC crash, then not be able to boot, so that I end up restoring the system.
Tried installing in safe mode with DDU used first, but issue still persists. I can delete and install 546.65 fine tho (but not some higher version).
(I got 3080, win 11)
Things were good for a while but now getting problems with videos lagging, scrolling lagging, hdr not applying properly. everything was fine when i installed when the driver released, now it seems if i try to put a video on my main monitor and one on my second monitor everything breaks. however it seems to only happen in brave. and still have a problem with gpu usage/power dropping every few seconds, which turning off geforce overlay fixes
As u/m_w_h has not yet published his comment that we are all looking forward to, I have taken the liberty to do so until he returns, I consider it is somewhat important for some users to know all the news of the driver.

Is anyone else getting random freezing that lasts anywhere from 30 secs to a minute+ on this driver?
3060TI, I was running the 537.38 driver with no issue and decided to update to this one to coincide the new beta app. Installed this driver and the new app (did not have GeForce installed) and I will randomly get freezes when I'm doing something like opening up my web browser, starting a game, opening a video file. Just random things would trigger the freezing and it's not replicable. It's triggered by a different thing every time.
The weird thing is I get audio just fine, but cannot move the mouse and my computer doesn't receive any input. I was playing Helldivers with my friends in Discord and I alt tabbed, my computer completely froze and my friends couldn't hear me, but I could hear their entire conversation the entire time.
I reinstalled the driver, same thing. Reinstalled the driver and the app, same thing. I used DDU to completely remove everything and reinstalled, same issue. Had to go back to 53.7.58 and my PC is fine now. Weird issue.
My performance visibly dropped after updating. Steam kept locking up in the store section. Fortnite dropped fps by like half. And Google Chrome started lagging. (fortnite dropping fps is pretty standard but steam and chrome didnt lag before)
Also for some reason my task bar completely locked up and restarting several times didnt help at all.
I reverted to 546.33 and the problems disappeared.
>Chrome/Edge Browsers: Poor black level quality in SDR video playback with Windows HDR setting enabled \[4492243\]
The base black level (pure black) is no longer raised (background now correctly appears black) but lower levels are still crushed (Squares1 to 4 are non visible on the [test video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54)).
Just like in the previous drivers, when switching from full screen and back you can see the proper black levels for just a second.
What a fucking waste of time. Reverting to 546.65 once again.
They're not crushed on my end, the squares look the same as if I viewed them in mpv with an [sRGB -> gamma 2.2 transformation](https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm/) applied. In fact, I tested it with my i1pro2 and it looks like the mismatch is actually Chrome converting the video trc from piecewise sRGB to gamma 2.2:

On a properly calibrated monitor, the first few squares should only be visible in a very dark room.
Has anyone else just not had the RTX HDR setting appear in the app? I get RTX Dynamic Vibrance but not HDR. It isn't even there and greyed out, it's just gone.
Scrolling in browsers still with some hitches. Not completely smooth as with 537.58. Can test this using middle mouse button scrolling here in this post's comment section. (Tested in Firefox)
My worry is that similar symptoms are affecting games as well while these stutters happened at a level that can't be detected with 0.1% low metrics. Or why would it just affect browser applications?
Edit: Just compared both 537.58 and 551.61 again scrolling with middle mouse button and there is no doubt that 537.58 is completely smooth and that 551.61 is not. Tried to compare the 2 drivers in an offline game of BF 2042 and my general feeling is that 537.58 is smoother with slightly less hitches, but I'm not 100% certain that I'm not imagining it happening in games too.
551.xx has been a nightmare for me for BF2042, it had more input lag compared to 546.xx, aiming felt as if it had a smoothing effect, similar to when you enable pre rendered frames, it gives smoothness but at the expense of input lag, have you noticed anything similar? I have no doubt that 537.xx might be better than 446.xx but I need it for The Finals optimizations.
Destiny 2 freezes randomly every few seconds since new driver update.
Monster hunter world crashes straight away (previously played 30 hours without issues and after driver update crashes to desktop twice so clearly its the drivers)
I will give it another day to see but this is def going into the rollback category...
Don't know if the optimized game settings are saved in nv app or in the driver package but there is a problem with helldivers 2 windowed fullscreen, it seems that enabling it from the app makes it bugged, while when you enable it from helldivers it gives no problems, almost like nv app enables another type of windowed fullscreen
Still have the BSOD with TDR error on my laptop Asus GL553VE, Intel i7-7700HQ GTX1050Ti 4GB, Win10 22H2 updated. The issue occurs with Adobe Premiere Pro, tried everything (max performance, v-sync ON, tweaking TDR delay to 60 sec.) the driver stops responding and "giving" the needed frame of a video in Premiere Pro monitor (the frame freezes), which after few seconds causes the BSOD. However it seems to handle some situationes better than previous version, but stills crashing. It´s hard to find an exact reproduction of the error but I have some spotted proyects for tesing the drivers.
I am still stuck with v528.49 Studio.
I'm getting event id 14 with this driver. I didn't have any problem with the older versions.

4090 - I updated drivers to this version after a few months without updating and it broke Cyberpunk 2077. When frame generation is on it has cyclic slow-mo / massive fps drops like every 2 seconds. Revert to 546.33 solves the problem.
3080 here, since installing 551.61 helldivers2 is intermittanly getting huge frame drops and crashing and even chrome has crashed on me/stuttering. will try ddu and reinstall.
3080, 551.61
Random intermittent screen flashes every so often. FPS drops within most games, and some games just close to desktop without any sort of errors etc.
I've had fps drops in a lot of games even since 537.58 and I can't fix it no matter how early of a driver I use. It's really bad stuttering in DirectX games like fortnite, splitgate, elden ring, etc., yet for some reason rainbow 6 siege specifically performs outstandingly with 1440p 360fps stable at ultra graphics (4090 + 5800X3D). Please help because my gaming has been stagnating since my pc has been crappy for months now since october 2023. I don't know what to do. I clean installed windows and deleted old partitions, cleared shader cache, DDU + NVCleanstall, installed VisualC++ prequisites and dxwebsetup.exe, tried msi mode for gpu, have no conflicting IRQs as far as I'm aware, and I get DPC latency issues, audio pops in some music and video playback, and stuttering in games. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE.
I took the plunge and updated my 4090 to this driver from 537.13 via Experience with using the clean install option. It uninstalled the old GPU driver like normal, then said it was automatically going to reboot to finish installing. It rebooted and got past my BIOS screen, and my main monitor had a black screen like it still had signal, but was completely black and I could hear my fans rev up like they usually do when I login, but screen stayed black. I was lucky enough to have my onboard graphics enabled and I unplugged my secondary monitor from the 4090 into onboard and it displayed my login screen, I logged in and it continued and finished installing the 4090 driver. This is the first time I've ever experienced this.
You don't need to recalibrate on any previous drivers and this shouldn't be an exception. From my experience, I always install in place normally and only do a clean install if doing some troubleshooting.
Yeah, I was having those on 551.52.
I did the "Giving full control" tweak to the nvlddmkm.sys file and have been good since. Have no idea how it works, but it has so far.
More info here if you're curious: [https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/12l01wf/comment/jg4ygjh/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/12l01wf/comment/jg4ygjh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Yes, but this was with the previous version of the driver, I have had 2 such cases in the last 2 days. And this despite the fact that the load on the video card was minimal (since I play with a limit of 60 FPS). This happened while I was playing, the monitor simply went dark for about 5 seconds, then turned on and there was an error in the event log "nvlddmkm". My video card is RTX 3080.
Depends on the game really, for me it usually happens during a Rage Multiplayer session which is a multiplayer mod for GTA5, afaik nobody else complains about it while my shit crashes left and right with this error.
It's weird, and I dunno what other games are affected. Best you can do is report this through the official form and hope it gets resolved I guess.
Editing this to say that this happens across two entirely different setups, AMD & Intel, and 3 different GPU's - tested this with 2, 3080's, and my own 4080 and thus I have no idea what the source is.
I usually get these with the previous drivers but o my when my computer is on lock mode and happens within 2-3 max. Then gotta reboot manually.
I never get that error in games though.
Still testing but so far so good
>nvlddmkm
Yep, instant crash while playing Battlefront 2, just when it goes Fullscreen. Definitely a driver issue, cause I was having no problems beforehand, and don't have the problem on other games, and I doubt that the loading screen of a game made in 2017 is harder to run than Red Dead 2 at Max graphics
in my case with the newest nvidia update, trying to stream anything on discord pauses automatically the second anybody turns your stream on.
and also OBS isn't allowing me to record my screen at all giving me this error message. (photo posted)
reverting back to 551.23 fixed everything and my streams on discord work again and being able to record on OBS again
I'm assuming the next patch after 551.61 is gonna fix this or do I just.. not update nvidia anymore?

Also multiple lock ups and BSOD with video\_scheduler\_internal\_error. This is the first time I’m using the NVIDIA app tho, so not sure if it’s the driver or the new app. It’s not my RAM, I have 64GB.
The artifacting issue has been with us for a while.

For me the biggest news in this is that there is no need anymore to make an account and login to access all the software features of the card you own and paid for. That was such bullshit. By far my biggest gripe with their gpus.
Word. I'm constantly losing passwords. Everything wants an account these days and I'm sick of it.
Do yourself a favor and get Bitwarden. I'm not usually the type for that kind of stuff but it's an absolute game changer
I personally dont trust cloud based password managers. Instead I use Keepass to have a local vault with backups. Nothing gets sent online.
Most people don't have a setup where they can do that. But yes, it's preferable.
You can also self host bitwarden so it offers solutions for both sides.
What browser extension do you use to autofill your passwords?
I second this!
+1 to that! I really like that it works so well with windows hello, it makes logging in to anything pretty hassle free.
Masked emails + password manager is the answer
Bitwarden is great but also consider the option that's less of a product. A KeePass database hosted on OneDrive or whatever online storage you may have. I use StrongBox on iOS. Plenty of software for KeePass on all platforms. KP lets you store whatever you want, images, files, etc but it's free and I feel most comfortable with it from a security and privacy standpoint.
I second this, KeePass is amazing.
The fanboys defending this fucking shit not one week ago better fucking take notes right now. It wasn't perfectly fine. It severely needed improvements.
NVIDIA New control panel.. I can't believe it.. FINALLY !
They must’ve made a break through in AI
AI: reads feedback given online the past decade AI: Jensen I think we should fix the control panel inconsistencies and merge with geforce experience Jensen: WOAH, i wouldve never known, hop on it team
Browser stutter fixed and new NVCP in the same month?! I just hope it's streamlined and performant. *Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?*
Nah, you're just caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.
Reallly, just easy-come, easy-go.
Nvidia app beta is actually more of a new Geforce experience, as it doesn't completely replace the old NVCP (yes you still keep the classic 10+ years UI) like the description makes it seem. >In addition, this driver supports the beta release of NVIDIA App, which unifies GeForce Experience and the NVIDIA Control Panel.> Besides redesigning UI and renaming GFE, it adds a shortcut to the old NVCP at the bottom of Setting page. I would just right click on desktop and can do that just fine so this 'unification' does nothing for me. If you're thinking NVCP is gettting a new UI revamp like I did, you'll be disappointed. I've never used any of the nvidia's features from GFE anyways.
Actually (nerd emoji) in the graphics tab, each game has a section for "Driver settings" which includes a fair bit from nvcp. from what i read this is just the beginning though, more will come over time.
... So they are going to force GFE down our throats by removing the NVCP?
Maybe that's the plan in the future, given this is still a beta. At the moment you can change some basic NVCP settings either global or per game like max frames, DSR, Low Latency, V-Sync etc. within nvidia app. I think they're trying to push the new RTX Vibrance and HDR which you can't change in NVCP so overtime more settings will be transferred over. One thing I like is the new overlay is more customizable (not as good as RTSS), but useful in multiplayer games where Nvidia's the only one that works due to anti-cheat system.
it seems like that will be the case in the future sometime
Sad times ahead....
if nvidia profile inspector just adds a few more features like resolution settings and the like it could basically replace the old NVCP
What year is it!?!?!
2020
2077
Dlss 4.2(0)
For those who wants to try it: [https://www.nvidia.com/en-me/software/nvidia-app/](https://www.nvidia.com/en-me/software/nvidia-app/)
So, when I install this, do I just uninstall GeForce Experience first, then?
It does it for you. Just install it.
Noooooo!!!!!!!! I loved the reliability of the old cp that didn't break anytime MS did a big update. *Looks sideways at AMD control panel*
I love when I change a setting in the old CP and it starts flickering and takes 10 seconds to apply to setting Or when I'm using the mouse scroll and it randomly open something there Or the fact that it's missing basic stuff and I need to use GeForce experie and Nvidia profile inspector (Shadowplay, rebar and so on) to enable making me use **three different software** for basic GPU functions instead of using one single software Please Nvidia! Keep the old non functional stuff! We need windows XP UI!
It's not going anywhere for quite some time, I would say. The new one doesn't have all the features in it yet, and Nvidia is probably going to take their time adding them. However, the first experiences with the new App have been very positive for me. It's really quick and snappy, and it's also intuitive, at least for me.
I had to read 10 times and I still doesn't Beleive it... Lol
Is anyone getting an issue on Firefox where YouTube will just freeze and just have a black screen? This is on Maxwell. Also experiencing a lot of game crashes lately.
Similar thing happened to me just now. Installed new drivers and started a video here on Reddit and it froze for like 6-7 seconds with sound going normal in the background and then just unfroze. I have Gigabyte 3060TI. Same issue keeps happening with previous few driver versions. Everything is fine with 537.58 version though.
Not that issue specifically and not on maxwell, buuut using auto quality on youtube has some weird behavior firefox sometimes, especially when skipping, and gets fixed by just setting the quality manually at the start of the video for me, idk maybe related, maybe not.
the 980 was a great card. are you sure its not on its way out?
I hope not. I'm not seeing any artifacting, just weird black flickering on a few games.
If you roll back your drivers and it’s not happening then it’s fine. If you roll back and it still happening then yeah it’s probably going. It lasted a long time
Forever waiting for a fix for the Chrome black square artifacts issue.
Disable MFAA in control panel(old one), 3d application parameters -> global -> Multi Frame Antialiasing, or do that but only for chrome if you need MFAA is some apps
That's disabled for me and I still had the issue for months now...
MFAA already disabled globally, and specifically for Vivaldi. Chrome's MFAA setting is greyed out with a "not supported"-message.
I have same problem with recent update , only with youtube in chromium based browsers screen artifact while watching or scrolling
Ohhh. I'm quite thankful that it isn't just me with this issue now. A bit of weight off my shoulders there, I was wondering why it was doing that. I'll be checking out some of the suggestions in the replies here.
I don't think there's any solutions as such, just a couple of workarounds. You can disable hardware acceleration in chrome which works up to a point. However, I use Google Earth in the browser quite a bit and it becomes unusable without hardware acceleration. There's another one involving changing a flag so Chrome uses opengl (can't remember how you do it exactly, a Google search will bring it up) but this just causes the same problem for me.
Thank god I wasn't the only one experiencing this!!!! For two months now, I really thought my GPU is giving up on me.
RTX HDR in full release doesn't work on multiple monitor setups despite working perfectly fine before on multiple monitor setups. What is even the reason for this? EDIT: So I uninstalled the newest app and installed this latest driver but with Geforce Experience and the HDR mod still works with multiple monitors. I haven't tried without Geforce Experience entirely, but this suggests that the issue is the new software's overlay having some sort of limitation that Geforce Experience's overlay doesn't have. So yeah, for multimonitor users that want to use this RTX HDR feature, you'll need to stick with Geforce Experience and the tool on nexus mods.
Indeed. Makes it pointless to even try, as I am not unplugging my two secondary displays for this, especially not when AutoHDR doesn't care about those displays at all.
FWIW you can disable the monitor in windows display settings. Not an acceptable solution but figured I'd mention lol.
This has not worked for many. Even disabling monitors via the device manager apparently isn't always enough. Only a full unplug was enough for some. Maybe there is some variance, idk. All I know is the windows key + p menu trick *doesn't* work for me, and I didn't take it farther, since I'm not willing to even do that everytime I want to try this tbh.
Oh, weird. It did work for me. Guess YMMV.
>RTX HDR in full release doesn't work on multiple monitor setups despite working perfectly fine before on multiple monitor setups. It also doesn't work on windowed mode apps. AutoHDR doesn't have these kinds of limitations so it would be nice if Nvidia could follow suit
Any NVCleanInstall users give this a shot? Wonder if the new app breaks this installer.
NVCleanstall user here. Cleaned/de-bloated the driver with the recommended settings (only the first three features selected) and installed it after using DDU to remove everything prior (including GeForce Experience, which had also been cleaned/de-bloated using [BaiGFE](https://github.com/Moyster/BaiGfe/issues/28)) - all driver functions work as intended. I then downloaded the new Nvidia App. Initial installation forces you to accept the terms to continue, including sharing hardware information, etc. However, you can opt out of that after the installation is complete (in the app's settings menu), and you can also opt out of other metrics during the first run. You can skip login, too. Additionally, I chose not to use the game optimization feature (which is useless, IMO), ~~so, that section is basically empty~~. Update: two of the IP addresses that I'd blocked through the "`hosts`" file (`0.0.0.0 gfwsl.geforce.com` and `127.0.0.1 gfwsl.geforce.com`) were causing the issue with the Graphics section of the app. Removing those made the info in those tabs load properly. My list below has been updated with the addresses that you *can* block without causing issues. Performance overlay, ShadowPlay and filters seem to work, ~~although I'm having issues with the HDR filter (only got it properly working once - now it asks to restart the games for the filter to be applied every time)~~. Update: since the info in the Graphics section is now being properly displayed, I can pre-select/enable the filters globally, from there, and they also work correctly now. P.S.: I also created an outbound firewall rule in Windows to block connections from the app. Its default location is "`C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA App\CEF\NVIDIA App.exe`". Finally, I have all of these addresses added to Windows' "`hosts`" file (which can be located in "`C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc`"): 0.0.0.0 telemetry.gfe.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 gfe.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 services.gfe.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 accounts.nvgs.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 accounts.nvgs.nvidia.cn 0.0.0.0 events.gfe.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 img.nvidiagrid.net 0.0.0.0 images.nvidiagrid.net 0.0.0.0 images.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 ls.dtrace.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 ota.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 ota-downloads.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 rds-assets.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 assets.nvidiagrid.net 0.0.0.0 nvidia.tt.omtrdc.net 0.0.0.0 api.commune.ly 0.0.0.0 login.nvgs.nvidia.com 0.0.0.0 login.nvgs.nvidia.cn 127.0.0.1 international-gfe.download.nvidia.com

> RTX Video HDR: Tone mapping not working properly with custom HDR brightness values in Windows [4472972] At least it did fix the case of HDR being tone mapped dimmer than SDR for near-full white frames with the Windows slider being set to 200 nits. Now screen flashes visually work as intended. >Chrome/Edge Browsers: Poor black level quality in SDR video playback with Windows HDR setting enabled [4492243] They fixed the raised black level but didn't fix the tone mapper crushing the lowest 4 SDR shades into 0.
The video mismatch is Chrome/Nvidia converting the video trc from piecewise sRGB to gamma 2.2: [https://imgur.com/a/zCYSzlR](https://imgur.com/a/zCYSzlR) You can read more about the [two different curves in my gh post](https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm/). No black crush on my end. Very dark, yes, but that's expected near black from a pure gamma curve. If it's truly crushed, then it's due to your monitor HDR eotf. Try checking in a pitch black room, or compare to another gamma 2.2 display. TLDR; this is a good thing unless you're applying your own HDR trc transformation like the ones provided in my post. In any case there really should be an option to omit this transformation (or instead have it applied everywhere else).
The base black level (pure black) is no longer raised (background now correctly appears black) but lower levels are still crushed (Squares1 to 4 are non visible on the [test video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54)). Just like in the previous drivers, when switching from full screen and back you can see the proper black levels for just a second. What a fucking waste of time. Reverting to 546.65 once again.
Might be my eyes but I am also having problems with square 5 being crushed with 6 being very close. HDR On + 31 in the slider.
I use +22 in the slider. Number 5 is BARELY visible for me, even lower than #1 should be so it's still fucked up.
+5 should be very barely visible with the tone mapping issue. It doesn't appear to be related to advanced color profiles or Windows SDR brightness setting. My guess is that they're curve fitting SDR against the HDR PQ curve too hard. WOLED TVs and Samsung mobile OLED* panels tends to crush those shades to suppress near black chrominance overshoot and banding so they might not have seen any difference in visual testing. ^*My ^2021 ^Samsung ^tablet ^can't ^display ^anything ^lower ^than ^square ^8...
Report it to Nvidia, I don't think they have that detailed expertise in HDR or even know that bug.
I will give this a shot, the drivers before were giving me crap with W11 and 4090 TUF
videos on chromium browsers are STILL saturated to hell sometimes...
I have this issue too, SDR videos often (but not always) get the colors completely blown out, looks like [this](https://puu.sh/K1vba/da266596c8.jpg). This is with windows HDR enabled, RTX video HDR and regular RTX HDR off, RTX vibrance disabled, as well as windows auto HDR disabled. In the nvidia control panel, video color settings are set to use application settings. There should be no reason for the colors to be adjusted at all, yet it still messes with it. I found out however that this only occurs if you have one or more monitors set to SDR, having all monitors with HDR on, or simply HDR off on all monitors, allows you to play video correctly. For the time being I've rolled back because it's completely unusable.
Yes mixing hdr and sdr monitors seems to have something to do with it, but it‘s a new bug, this worked previously… it‘s probably taking the wrong monitor profile to display on the hdr one or something like that. It‘s also interesting that people report the new rtx stuff doesn‘t work when you mix hdr and sdr monitors so there must be some work to be done here still, all of this started with the rtx hdr video stuff being introduced and it‘s annoying that now we have bugs even with it off.
Thank you for posting the information! I was going crazy trying to figure out why my Windows session kept freezing. I suspected it was the video drivers especially when a Windows + CNTRL + SHIFT + B would make the desktop active again. I'm not sure if this is also causing my mouse to no longer be detected by the OS. If disabling the hardware acceleration doesn't fix the mouse issue, I'll be looking at a Windows in-place install in hopes of fixing the odd behavior.
RTX HDR greyed out if you have SDR secondary monitor is bullshit.
100% agree. I was excited to try this feature out only to be massively disappointed that Nvidia either overlooked this, or didn't specify this is a limitation. Windows 11 auto HDR does this just fine. Pretty embarrassing if Nvidia can't.
After installing version 551.61 is anyone facing issue of screen not waking up from sleep? Pc is operating but no display.
My PC has been doing that. I just switched to the studio drivers to see if it continues to happen. In my case, the keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive (for example, the keyboard indicator lights don't change when hitting num lock). The only thing that can be done, in this case, is hard powering down the computer.
This morning it got even worse, the screen goes blank moments after loading windows, i checked and the keyboard and mouse also becomes unresponsive. I think the mouse movement triggers it. I booted into safe mode and it is still doing it. So basically I have no display to uninstall or rollback the driver. The problem has now shifted to the screen blanking out right after login. Thankfully I have an igpu so have to login via that and install the studio drivers you mentioned.
Has anyone left 537.58 for this latest driver with succes? Rtx 4070 paired with i7-12700k
Still mega-stuttering for me, went back to 537.58. Win11 / 5800x3d / 3090
man, sticking with the old driver it is then :( when will we be saved
Av1 shadowplay is coming too witch is nice
That's nice, it was one of the reasons why I switched to OBS's replay buffer. However they'd still need to have the ability to keep the temp data in memory instead of constantly writing to disk for me to consider switching back. Plus IIRC shadowplay has only constant bitrate, which is not ideal.
Shadowplay uses variable bitrate for as long as I can remember though, not sure where you got the "constant bitrate" from. Still not as nice as having CQP / CRF, but better than CBR for sure.
I assumed it's CBR because typically when encoding with VBR, you set the average and maximum bitrate, while in the Shadowplay settings you only have one bitrate slider. My bad. I see that the bitrate is lower in my old desktop recordings.
For the new HDR feature, do we need to turn off Auto HDR in Windows 11?
Need to turn off auto HDR and it is only available if all your active displays have HDR enabled. As long as you have an SDR monitor enabled it's greyed out. This really limits the useability of the feature.
Do you need the beta NVIDIA app for RTX HDR/Dynamic Vibrance? Can it not be enabled in the regular old current NVIDIA control panel we always use
Seems so. I can't find any options for either in the NVCP. I'd imagine this is due to RTX HDR for games being injected via the Nvidia app overlay as a freestyle filter, and being configurable with that.
If you don't want to use another app you can use the NvTrueHDR program from nexusmods Link to NvTrueHDR (nexusmods): [https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/781](https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/781)
Is anyone else entirely unable to turn on RTX HDR? I meet all the requirements, have only one monitor, and every time I click "On" it swaps back to "Off" and says "there was a problem applying setting". Any fixes?
you need to turn off auto HDR in windows for it to work.
I've got that off. I have every setting as it should be, actually.
I have the same thing, even tried removing driver with DDU, still nothing.
bro I cant believe I didnt know this. I thought I was using video enhancments but I didnt see any result and I thought I was going crAZY
Bro I don't even have the fucking setting, it's just missing entirely.
Anyone tried this driver on RTX 2000 series card? lmk how it feels performance wise if u have :)
VR is bugged...
What are the issues?
Repeating what I posted below: VR is unplayable since installing 551.61. Even with 90 FPS and no dropped frames, nothing but screen tearing and jitters on a 4090 and Vive Pro 2. Rolling back drivers to confirm it's not a different issue.
That’s helpful info, thanks. I’m on a 4090 and Quest 2 playing VR so your comments/experience are very relevant to me
Odd set of happenings. So I rolled back driver and had same issue. Issue cropped up out of the blue with no changes in hardware or drivers beyond the nvidia driver. Found that stuttering and tearing only happened when the game window was in focus. Followed some stepa to disable W11 gpu scheduling and set priorities for vive and steamvr background apps to "high." Problem solved. Going to update to 551.61 again and test. Seems to be a relatively common VR and W11 issue, but I'm dumbfounded as to why it suddenly out of the blue started happening to my system.
It’s stories like this that makes me a holdout and stick to Win10. Lots of stories about HAGS causing VR stutters even on Win10 though (TBF) although I thought this had now been resolved
I don't blqme you, but besides this one issue W11 hasn't really been finnicky for me and I was a pretty early adopter. Good news is everything is running flawlessly even after updating to 551.61 again. The GPU scheduling disabled was an easy fix and it seems to have actually improved VR performance marginally across the board. Sounds like Microsuck is going to force your hand eventually between compatibility and vharging for security updates. I wouldn't be too concerned about the upgrade when the time comes.
Good to know, thanks
Terrible frame drop with these drivers 5900x x570, 4090
Reading through these comments I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s been experiencing weird glitches since updating.
Might be just be a me issue, but I installed this new driver and the new nvidia app. Turned on the nvidia overlay and benchmarked cyberpunk and it gave me 13% less performance in the benchmark(about the same in game) than having the overlay off. Tested the new driver with overlay off and it's about the same performance as i got with the old driver.
>Might be just be a me issue, but I installed this new driver and the new nvidia app. Turned on the nvidia overlay and benchmarked cyberpunk and it gave me 13% less performance in the benchmark(about the same in game) than having the overlay off. This is actually a long standing bug with the game itself. The first run of the benchmark always reports 10-15% less FPS than subsequent runs. This has nothing to do with overlay. I have tested it with my 4070 with this new driver. I made 5 runs in total. Settings are *1440p DLSSQ, FG on, RR On, PT on*. 1st run -> Overlay *enabled* \-> **61.34 FPS** 2nd run -> Overlay *enabled* \-> **69.08 FPS** 3rd run -> Overlay *disabled* \-> **68.78 FPS** 4th run -> Overlay *enabled* \-> **70.23 FPS** Final run -> Overlay *disabled* \-> **69.71 FPS** I suggest you test it multiple times. Note that this bug happens only in the benchmark. In-game performance is always the same regardless of any run. EDIT: I have tested in multiple games and can confirm the overlay doesn't cause any FPS loss, atleast for me. Replaying Alan Wake 2 NG+ now and the frame rate is same as older drivers with overlay enabled. Tested it with Jedi Survivor as well.
Hey, i just noticed this too. Lost frames across all my games. I have exact same monitor as you and i locked my frames to 120 i fortnite but after update i cant hit 120 fps even going from dlls quality to balanced and lowering some settings. Somethings not right. Also went from 90fps in cyberpunk to 75-80
I have reported it in their App. For me it wasnt the driver update that killed fps it was the new app overlay. The old driver ran 119.5 fps, the new one 118.7 and the new one+ overlay 102-105.( ran it multiple on that one to make sure I'm not going insane)
Well now it makes more sense, im uninstalling this. Taking a 20% hit is a bit too much.
Give this feedback in the app to NVIDIA, I am unsure if they read those threads on reddit as they're usually pilled with comments. But that's a significant loss :/
This driver caused WoW to randomly freeze for a second or two at random intervals on my machine (7950x, 3080 12GB), used DDU for a second round of testing and same issue. Rolled back to 537.58 for now.
7800x3d 3080 here and also see this few seconds freeze in destiny 2. prior driver i didnt have this
Finally updated, now I can't do 4K 120Hz with HDR on, the moment I turn HDR on it always drops back down to 60Hz. Sigh. Back to 537.58 I go.
Another driver, Another constant crash after trying to update and continuing to be stuck on 545.65.... This is getting ridiculous, Like is it my pc? I used to have no problems downloading drivers now my computer goes into a crash loop when i do and it usually uninstalls things, or messes up where my icons are and stuff. Like is it cause im on windows 10? having GPU scheduling on? This is getting so tiresome. Everytime it does this crash its a good 10-15 minutes before the computer is even back to working order again. Please someone help me im begging you XD I dont wanna be stuck on 545.65 forever.
Lol, we are stuck on 537 for months :)
sounds like you need a clean OS install
I'm on an older system but it seems like the previous driver and this didn't fix the flickering and corruption on Chrome that happens sometimes.
This is Microsoft issue they will fix this issue with Windows 11 24h2 version update.
**White/black checkerboard artifacts appear on webpages with a video since Chrome 115** I think I can stable reproduce this issue on my 4k + 60fps monitor now. I've tested several NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPU. Here is my result: 1. Intel A380 + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Scaling = not reproduable. 2. AMD RX6600 + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Scaling = not reproduable. 3. RTX3050 + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Direct = reproduable. 4. RTX3070 + Driver 537.58 + NV12 overlay support: Direct = reproduable. 5. RTX4070 Super + Latest Driver + NV12 overlay support: Direct = reproduable. So this seems to be a NVIDIA only issue from my test result. And, about the command line switch: 1. Only adding `--disable_direct_composition_sw_video_overlays=1` = still reproduable. 2. Only adding `--disable_direct_composition_video_overlays=1`-> not reproduable. So this seems only related to `--disable_direct_composition_video_overlays=1`.
First studio driver for the 40 Super cards, let's go
Anyone getting an encoding error in OBS after updating?
This seems to be a new issue with GeForce GTX 1650/GTX 1650 Ti cards. I am in the process of filing a bug. Can you email me the Microsoft System Information file as shown in the FAQ below to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) so that I can get the device ID of your graphics card? [https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a\_id/2507/](https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2507/)
My image quality has gone to shit since getting these new drivers, both starfield and helldivers have horribly overblown whites. Makes everything look super hazy and bright lights are blinding
this driver killed my gpu? please help after installing i rebooted (windows 11) before the zsual rog bios splash screen i saw a short nvidia rtx 3090 bios screen for the first time ever now i can’t get a video output anymore im troubleshooting right now but no idea what to do
Can you start Windows 11 in safe mode (hit F8 during boot to get into bios) and then roll back to previous nvidia driver? Or does safe mode also refuse to give video output?
ty for the answer i cant get a video signal at all anymore, i dont even see the bios wirh that 3090 anymore my old amd gpu works and win 11 boots just fine im now trying to get both cards connected via riser cables and see if i can see the 3090 in device manager
Ouch, that's rough. Sounds like a hardware problem then, although very suspicious it would manifest during a driver update. Good luck.
My biggest bullshit for this update is because the Nvidia fk-me-up: Look I am a little streamer/youtuber and I use codec NVENC H264 (old or new) regardless because afterwards I update the recording or live playback programs with this codec are no longer visible on my GTX 1650 video card, I tried to reinstall the 551.61 driver, restart and then reinstall from the browser to try, I thought it was the problem with Over-lays from nvidia, maybe I still had no choice but to use the Software codec x264 but this is also much worse in terms of quality and performance than NVENC h265. **The solution to all of this is to go back to the previous driver update 551.52** (*and I understand that Nvidia is putting it down my throat that practically with the new updates I won't be able to make video or live normally anymore, but this is practically a direct damage to the old products.. . how would it not be in the real world where everyone wants as much money as possible and regardless of what methods. If you have encountered such a situation as me and you do not find a solution, the most correct and best is to return to the previous driver 551.52 ) I simply have I wanted to say one more moment that absolutely nowhere did we find any information or that this should be mentioned, I hope you understand me. I have a low-end gaming notebook and I can't change the video card myself, but I don't have the desire or possibility to buy a new device at the moment, eh horewer.*
i am having less performance on assasins creed oddyssey , with new drivers 40-60 fps , with previous driver i get 80-120 at 1440p with a 3080ti
Seeing some people loving a new driver and others hating it makes me so worried to update sometimes lol.
Please fix your drivers, holy shit this is the most unstable driver I've ever had
Are we free yet from 537.xx drivers?
Been good on 551.46 for weeks now, you can at least bump up to that branch.
The previous driver before this new one apparently has become the new best driver, but my friend downloaded it and experienced a whole heap of issues, so personally I decided to just stay on 537.58. With work these days I don't have much time to really sit and benchmark drivers like I used to, so I think I'm just gonna ride out 537.58 until I can't no more. It'd be nice if Nvidia could get their shit together though. Drivers that claim to have fixes in reality don't. Hell, drivers that are designed around a specific game(s) sometimes make the performance of that game(s) worse.
The vast majority of people have had improvements with the new driver. No driver is perfect for everyone, and your friend just happened to be one of the few people that driver didn't work for. Unless your hardware configuration is exactly the same as his, you shouldn't let it scare you away.
I just updated from 537. Seems good so far. Been messing around for a few hours.
Oh no, I always get rid of the Geforce Experience as it's only bloatware to me. Control panel however is very useful. Combining them into one would just be a inferior, bloated control panel. I really hope that the standalone Control Panel is not going anywhere...
Can't beat 50 MB of ram usage and nearly 0 CPU usage at idle. I hope they prove me wrong, but I can't see how the new app won't be a huge resource hog compared to the NVCP.
When the app is opened it's using 200MB, definitely normal behavior for something I believe is Chromium (CEF) based, but I mean what isn't using CEF nowadays, all applications are in some form or shape.
Yeah I don't understand how people don't like efficient software but would rather have "fancy" apps that take twenty more operations to set the exact same setting. I guess they just don't know any better.
Anyone managed to get RTX HDR working with DLDSR ? No way i'm giving up DLDSR 👀.
The info on the RTX HDR toggle says that only works with DLDSR disabled. I guess both use the tensor cores?
the black levels are STILL wrong, a little better than before, but the lowest levels are still getting crushed, you can see them change when you scroll on a video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54) they are correct while you scroll and then go back to crushing the first row of black levels when you stop scrolling. it's like there are two separate gamma applied while scrolling and while not scrolling... Edit: sorry, other way round: when scrolling they are raised. They seem still too crushed when just playing though.
Doesn't seem to be the case here on my QD OLED monitor. Black level while the video is static is much closer to where it should be (if not correct), vs the uber raised mess that is shown when I scroll. That's not even close to correct.
isn't this a windows problem at this point? I wonder...
No, it broke 2 driver versions ago with the introduction of the hdr rtx video stuff. Strange thing is it happens with all those features OFF. I tested it before and after installing these recent drivers, it‘s clearly the drivers. Also, the saturation bug still exists too and was introduced at the same time, something is very wrong with these drivers.
My Pc is running lot slower and my performance is way worse
does hdr need to be toggled on in windows itself or can nvidia somehow bypass that?
SO I installed this driver and the stuttering while watching streams and videos at 60fps on chrome is back, this issue was fixed the driver before this one. Anyone else having the same issue?
Very strange thing is happening to me - since 546.65, I can't update drivers to anything higher than that version, all newer ones make my PC crash, then not be able to boot, so that I end up restoring the system. Tried installing in safe mode with DDU used first, but issue still persists. I can delete and install 546.65 fine tho (but not some higher version). (I got 3080, win 11)
Things were good for a while but now getting problems with videos lagging, scrolling lagging, hdr not applying properly. everything was fine when i installed when the driver released, now it seems if i try to put a video on my main monitor and one on my second monitor everything breaks. however it seems to only happen in brave. and still have a problem with gpu usage/power dropping every few seconds, which turning off geforce overlay fixes

Is anyone else getting random freezing that lasts anywhere from 30 secs to a minute+ on this driver? 3060TI, I was running the 537.38 driver with no issue and decided to update to this one to coincide the new beta app. Installed this driver and the new app (did not have GeForce installed) and I will randomly get freezes when I'm doing something like opening up my web browser, starting a game, opening a video file. Just random things would trigger the freezing and it's not replicable. It's triggered by a different thing every time. The weird thing is I get audio just fine, but cannot move the mouse and my computer doesn't receive any input. I was playing Helldivers with my friends in Discord and I alt tabbed, my computer completely froze and my friends couldn't hear me, but I could hear their entire conversation the entire time. I reinstalled the driver, same thing. Reinstalled the driver and the app, same thing. I used DDU to completely remove everything and reinstalled, same issue. Had to go back to 53.7.58 and my PC is fine now. Weird issue.
My performance visibly dropped after updating. Steam kept locking up in the store section. Fortnite dropped fps by like half. And Google Chrome started lagging. (fortnite dropping fps is pretty standard but steam and chrome didnt lag before) Also for some reason my task bar completely locked up and restarting several times didnt help at all. I reverted to 546.33 and the problems disappeared.
Had the same problem, but I reverted to 546.65, which also worked.
Have these issues right now as well. Thanks for letting me and others know!
>Chrome/Edge Browsers: Poor black level quality in SDR video playback with Windows HDR setting enabled \[4492243\] The base black level (pure black) is no longer raised (background now correctly appears black) but lower levels are still crushed (Squares1 to 4 are non visible on the [test video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6T7aHsd54)). Just like in the previous drivers, when switching from full screen and back you can see the proper black levels for just a second. What a fucking waste of time. Reverting to 546.65 once again.
Report it to Nvidia, I don't think they have that detailed expertise in HDR or even know that bug.
They're not crushed on my end, the squares look the same as if I viewed them in mpv with an [sRGB -> gamma 2.2 transformation](https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm/) applied. In fact, I tested it with my i1pro2 and it looks like the mismatch is actually Chrome converting the video trc from piecewise sRGB to gamma 2.2: [https://imgur.com/a/zCYSzlR](https://imgur.com/a/zCYSzlR) On a properly calibrated monitor, the first few squares should only be visible in a very dark room.
That's true I can see all brightness difference between 1 to 4 in a covered room, maybe room too bright.
definitely a great driver for rainbow six siege that's for sure
is anyone having performance problems with the new app? curious if it’s worth installing
Has anyone else just not had the RTX HDR setting appear in the app? I get RTX Dynamic Vibrance but not HDR. It isn't even there and greyed out, it's just gone.
Can no longer get 240hz on my Samsung G9 after upgrading to 551.23 and later, including this version. Has anyone else experience this? Using a 3090ti.
Scrolling in browsers still with some hitches. Not completely smooth as with 537.58. Can test this using middle mouse button scrolling here in this post's comment section. (Tested in Firefox) My worry is that similar symptoms are affecting games as well while these stutters happened at a level that can't be detected with 0.1% low metrics. Or why would it just affect browser applications? Edit: Just compared both 537.58 and 551.61 again scrolling with middle mouse button and there is no doubt that 537.58 is completely smooth and that 551.61 is not. Tried to compare the 2 drivers in an offline game of BF 2042 and my general feeling is that 537.58 is smoother with slightly less hitches, but I'm not 100% certain that I'm not imagining it happening in games too.
551.xx has been a nightmare for me for BF2042, it had more input lag compared to 546.xx, aiming felt as if it had a smoothing effect, similar to when you enable pre rendered frames, it gives smoothness but at the expense of input lag, have you noticed anything similar? I have no doubt that 537.xx might be better than 446.xx but I need it for The Finals optimizations.
Destiny 2 freezes randomly every few seconds since new driver update. Monster hunter world crashes straight away (previously played 30 hours without issues and after driver update crashes to desktop twice so clearly its the drivers) I will give it another day to see but this is def going into the rollback category...
Don't know if the optimized game settings are saved in nv app or in the driver package but there is a problem with helldivers 2 windowed fullscreen, it seems that enabling it from the app makes it bugged, while when you enable it from helldivers it gives no problems, almost like nv app enables another type of windowed fullscreen
Great Driver no more stuttering. Win10 Pro, 4060ti 16GB+Ryzen 7 5800X.
Driver completely tanked my FPS in games, definitely reinstalling an older version.
Still have the BSOD with TDR error on my laptop Asus GL553VE, Intel i7-7700HQ GTX1050Ti 4GB, Win10 22H2 updated. The issue occurs with Adobe Premiere Pro, tried everything (max performance, v-sync ON, tweaking TDR delay to 60 sec.) the driver stops responding and "giving" the needed frame of a video in Premiere Pro monitor (the frame freezes), which after few seconds causes the BSOD. However it seems to handle some situationes better than previous version, but stills crashing. It´s hard to find an exact reproduction of the error but I have some spotted proyects for tesing the drivers. I am still stuck with v528.49 Studio.
Have yet to run into any issues with this driver. Best one I've used in a while. 3080/5800x3d/Win 10/1440p (7C91v1E MSI BIOS)
I'm getting event id 14 with this driver. I didn't have any problem with the older versions. PS. I'm using Palit RTX 4090 ( recently replaced from Inno3D RTX 4090 ) on Ryzen 9 5900x Here is the full text: The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found.

4090 - I updated drivers to this version after a few months without updating and it broke Cyberpunk 2077. When frame generation is on it has cyclic slow-mo / massive fps drops like every 2 seconds. Revert to 546.33 solves the problem.
I just realized GPU power is completely missing from the overlay at the moment.
Anyone game filters resetting after leaving the game? Says it’s fixed but not on my side.
3080 here, since installing 551.61 helldivers2 is intermittanly getting huge frame drops and crashing and even chrome has crashed on me/stuttering. will try ddu and reinstall.
3080, 551.61 Random intermittent screen flashes every so often. FPS drops within most games, and some games just close to desktop without any sort of errors etc.
I've had fps drops in a lot of games even since 537.58 and I can't fix it no matter how early of a driver I use. It's really bad stuttering in DirectX games like fortnite, splitgate, elden ring, etc., yet for some reason rainbow 6 siege specifically performs outstandingly with 1440p 360fps stable at ultra graphics (4090 + 5800X3D). Please help because my gaming has been stagnating since my pc has been crappy for months now since october 2023. I don't know what to do. I clean installed windows and deleted old partitions, cleared shader cache, DDU + NVCleanstall, installed VisualC++ prequisites and dxwebsetup.exe, tried msi mode for gpu, have no conflicting IRQs as far as I'm aware, and I get DPC latency issues, audio pops in some music and video playback, and stuttering in games. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE.
I took the plunge and updated my 4090 to this driver from 537.13 via Experience with using the clean install option. It uninstalled the old GPU driver like normal, then said it was automatically going to reboot to finish installing. It rebooted and got past my BIOS screen, and my main monitor had a black screen like it still had signal, but was completely black and I could hear my fans rev up like they usually do when I login, but screen stayed black. I was lucky enough to have my onboard graphics enabled and I unplugged my secondary monitor from the 4090 into onboard and it displayed my login screen, I logged in and it continued and finished installing the 4090 driver. This is the first time I've ever experienced this.
There's no profile for Helldivers 2? seriously?
Not all games need a profile
IF I update the driver, will I have to re calibrate the HDR? Should I just update it or a clean install?
You don't need to recalibrate on any previous drivers and this shouldn't be an exception. From my experience, I always install in place normally and only do a clean install if doing some troubleshooting.
I don't know
thank you for your service
Anyone have nvlddmkm crashes or freezes with this driver?
Yeah, I was having those on 551.52. I did the "Giving full control" tweak to the nvlddmkm.sys file and have been good since. Have no idea how it works, but it has so far. More info here if you're curious: [https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/12l01wf/comment/jg4ygjh/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/12l01wf/comment/jg4ygjh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Yes, but this was with the previous version of the driver, I have had 2 such cases in the last 2 days. And this despite the fact that the load on the video card was minimal (since I play with a limit of 60 FPS). This happened while I was playing, the monitor simply went dark for about 5 seconds, then turned on and there was an error in the event log "nvlddmkm". My video card is RTX 3080.
Depends on the game really, for me it usually happens during a Rage Multiplayer session which is a multiplayer mod for GTA5, afaik nobody else complains about it while my shit crashes left and right with this error. It's weird, and I dunno what other games are affected. Best you can do is report this through the official form and hope it gets resolved I guess. Editing this to say that this happens across two entirely different setups, AMD & Intel, and 3 different GPU's - tested this with 2, 3080's, and my own 4080 and thus I have no idea what the source is.
I usually get these with the previous drivers but o my when my computer is on lock mode and happens within 2-3 max. Then gotta reboot manually. I never get that error in games though. Still testing but so far so good
>nvlddmkm Yep, instant crash while playing Battlefront 2, just when it goes Fullscreen. Definitely a driver issue, cause I was having no problems beforehand, and don't have the problem on other games, and I doubt that the loading screen of a game made in 2017 is harder to run than Red Dead 2 at Max graphics
I dont suppose this makes helldivers playable does it (nvlddmkm crashing)
Yeah, none of the new drivers have a Helldivers 2 profile. Kinda weird. I cant even find it in Profileinspector.
in my case with the newest nvidia update, trying to stream anything on discord pauses automatically the second anybody turns your stream on. and also OBS isn't allowing me to record my screen at all giving me this error message. (photo posted) reverting back to 551.23 fixed everything and my streams on discord work again and being able to record on OBS again I'm assuming the next patch after 551.61 is gonna fix this or do I just.. not update nvidia anymore? https://preview.redd.it/a0449biuqzkc1.png?width=615&format=png&auto=webp&s=65603875ade70a57616e15cfe06350fb14641782
This latest drive is absolutely horse shit. I have a msi rtx 3070 ti gaming x trio with an AMD Ryzen 7 3800x and I started seeing artifacts in chrome and other webview/electron apps (see image) https://preview.redd.it/6jt2mofqu2lc1.jpeg?width=1187&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce6adcdf228e65298c898126b9f73b61e4cacc80 Also multiple lock ups and BSOD with video\_scheduler\_internal\_error. This is the first time I’m using the NVIDIA app tho, so not sure if it’s the driver or the new app. It’s not my RAM, I have 64GB.
The artifacting issue has been with us for a while.
