NEW Nvidia Drivers: GeForce WHQL 516.94 - Nvidia has issued a security warning for it's GPU drivers on 4/8/2022)

has someone tested the driver?

WRONG… 3080 only (please refer to NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 511.17 WHQL - VideoCardz.com) official release for everyone is 1/14. Check out Nvidia reddit if you don’t believe me: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/s1eqz3/god_of_war_nvidia_dlss_reflex_game_ready_driver/

I have just completed a 2 Hour flight using the new driver, I did not notice any real difference with it. I have 3080.

Just flew with 511.09 studio, and wow!! no joke, got 20% fps bump in vr. Was at ~27 frames, went to over 32 most of the time. So then I was able to increase my NIS scaling to 60%, up from 50%, so i gained some clarity and kept the same frames as before. very happy with it!

specs:
5900x, 3090, pimax 8kx
pitool: 200% steam: 42% NIS: 60% MSFS: 100% vr resolution: 3508x3321

Not wrong. It’s been released to everybody, anyone can download it. But it will only work on the 3080.

I have just installed 511.17. It suits my setup very well, FPS varies between 60 to 100.
11th Gen I7 11700KF
RTX 3080,4K
DX12
Windows 11, the picture is exceedingly good, with no stutters etc.
Thus far have only flown the Discuss glider and the BN2 Islander

Nvidia mentioned it fixed some flickering in 12 bit. Anyone tested?

These drivers were released for new 3080 12 gb. Not for older cards but they seem to work for somebody

Me I picked studio drivers for my 1080 and it gave me this works fine…

The Nvidia 1080 Studio driver is actually version 511.09, and not 511.17. The game ready driver is still version 497.29.

LOL you are correct sir I totally missed that …

Geforce Exp. update here Game Ready 511.17 since 4 days and the game runs smooth and no crashs.

After reading this, I just installed the 511.17 studio driver, replacing the Game Ready.
On a first test, it seems to improve fps in VR by at least 10%. I got now around 30 fps with FBW A320NX in VR (Reverb G2), in mid flight with live weather, and near a PG area (take off from Barcelona).
Might be placebo, but there can also be some real improvement, at least with my hardware (3060Ti + Reverb G2).
Anyway, seems worth giving a try…

I’ve literally almost ALWAYS had better results in Studio drivers over game-ready drivers in VR and Flight sims. Still the BEST driver is 457.3 & 465.89 or 472.12 for DCS

511.23 is out with DLDSR.
Still at work, but can^t wait if there is some improvment :))

It’s okay, we’ll wait for you. :wink:
