LucShep Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) You'll get different replies and experiences. Like you, I have an RTX3090. In my own personal experience, with mine and with other systems with RTX30-series GPUs (RTX3080 10GB, RTX3060Ti 8GB, RTX3060 12GB), and with different CPUs (12700K, 12600KF, 10700K, 11400F, 5600X) the Nvidia's driver 536.67 is still the best, with 537.58 being a very close second. It went downhill right after those, IMO. Lots of tearing in some older games (where there was none) and stuttering occurrences in most (newer or older), and hasn't improved. I try latest Nvidia drivers every month, using same settings, or default, or even further altered ones, only to get back again to either of those two mentioned versions. Of course, with an RTX40-series it may be a totaly different story. If it's running good, and not using some recent game requiring particular bug-fixes of latest drivers, then the old motto "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" applies here, IMO. Regardless, and no matter what Nvidia GPU model, if you wish to try newest drivers I'd recommnend Nvidia "Clean Version" drivers, instead of the official Nvidia ones. The clean drivers only differ in not containing any of the unnecessary bloatware (which causes higher resources consuming) that you get with the official ones. They exhist in GTX form (GTX10-series and older) and RTX form (RTX20-series, RTX30-series, RTX40-series) and are always up-to-date (archive of previous drivers HERE).
