Nvidia driver?

[rotan1999]

Hi. So I am reading horror stories about the nvidia drivers. I'm planing upon buying a nvidia 5080 or 5090.

So I'm just asking how gamers flying dcs, mainly fc3, are doing with the nvidia drivers and the 5080 or 5090?

Is your gaming stable? Any problems?

Thanks.

Yes, I heard tones of issues were caused by the previous versions of NV drivers.

NV has released the recent driver to fix the blank screen, unable to read GPU temp... stuffs.  It should be a major fix.

I saw that few users post their DCS test with 5080 with their test metrics (thanks for their information).  I think that the previous drivers may not affect to these users.

There is one of threads:

I don’t have a 50-series card, but I’ve had issues with my 4080Super and the last few drivers, yes.

I have noticed two things:

- my graphics card fans would ramp up to 100% seemingly at random (they are LOUD!);

- I’ve had artefacts while sky is being rendered. But this was only during the first time DCS loaded after clearing fxo/metashaders.

 

Right now I’m running the hot fix driver (thanks to Jayztwocents for making a video about it), and this one runs alright.

Mind you, I’m not using 3rd party polling software so I didn’t run into the temperature issue - besides, both Sleep and Hibernation are disabled on my computer.

No issues that I have noticed up to 576.02. I've not tried 576.15 yet.

Tried 576.02 and 576.15 after that. Both gave me black screens. To the point when I could not even go to BIOS screen for a while. Had to go back to 572.83 when after a several tries I could see something for a while. But it was also connected to the last W11 update. I had to go back there as well

Now it's OK for me. Not even one black screen for a week. But it does not mean all Nvidia drivers are bad. S...t happens sometimes

4090, and its within margin of error of the hotfix driver YMMV

cool... good to know any major fix after .15.  Thanks...

PS: NV is still trying to fix crash and blank screen in the past patches... Hope this patch stops the bleeding...

I wonder why it's working for me and not you!? Maybe success with today's driver.

Why? No idea. It's the mystery of the computers. Different CPU, MB, Widows update or other drivers or a million other things. 

But I am happy for now and not so eager to try the new drivers. Maybe in a few days/weeks . Unless I hear they are bringing in something new (as in improvements)

576.28 is out today...

I've been testing 576.28 for a few hours now, and I didn't have any of the problems I had with the previous versions - so far that is.
Graphics card fans are no longer attempting to lift my case off the ground, and sky rendering was flawless too.

I mean, that would actually be pretty cool if we one day could take off for real!

No addition heater is needed, especially for the coming summer time
