I’m yet to see this new driver in Nvidia Experience, with 566.03 being reported as the current driver?

Does Nvidia often phase the release of its drivers?

Not usually, but they do use regional CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) to balance the load and distribute updates. Rolling out through the CDNs takes a bit of time.

Thanks. I’m not really in any rush, so I can wait…at least until Nov 19th. :slight_smile:

FWIW, I went up to my game room to check something else on my PC. When I first booted up into Windows, no new driver showed as available but within 5 minutes I got a notification about it, along with one to update the Nvidia App.

I think they are prioritizing the Nvidia app for a while. Geforce Experience will eventually be discontinued (my guess).

Has that app come out of beta yet?

Either way, now might not be a bad time to ā€œtake the plungeā€. :slight_smile:

Edit: LOL, it looks like it has come out of beta today. :slight_smile:

Per a video I saw this morning from Hardware Unboxed, that is the case. GeForce Experience is being sunsetted as a legacy product and will stop being updated. Eventually Nvidia Control Panel will be going away too, and everything integrated into the singular Nvidia app.

Which begs the question of how those that do, install ā€˜clean’ drivers in the future.

I guess we’re going to need 566.14 for FS2024, this detail is in the NVidia App which I just downloaded and installed & seems to be working fine. I uninstalled GE Force Experience before hand.

I doubt that’s a true ā€œneed.ā€ It just means that there are - ostensibly - some specific tweaks in this driver that are supposed to optimize performance for FS2024. It’s exceedingly rare on modern hardware that some very specific point-release of a driver is absolutely required before a game will run.

But I guess we’ll find out in a week; after all, there are still people in the 21st century who insist on sticking with some particular driver version for their GPU and refuse to update it unless absolutely required. Those folks will be LOUD next Tuesday morning if it turns out to be the case that this driver is a literal must.

I’m all set now with this one installed . I just hope it behaves better than 566.03 did on my system. I ended up rolling it back to 565.90. But yes some people seem to cling to some really old drivers.

Let us know how it goes!

That’ll have to be tomorrow for me now. The last driver 566.03 was giving me several seconds long sim pauses. (3090), which were not there with 565.90.

Gsync/VRR is not working for anyone pls after 566.14? Especially LG C1 etc users (we can see VRR info there)

1080ti work great with this one :+1:

No problems so far with this driver 566.14. iCue issue has being sorted out so no more issue with high CPU usage. So far so good.

Back to 537.58 with DDU and all is working normal again. With 566.14 i lost 28-30fps at my same test spot, LICJ gate110, pmdg737-700, 120 rock solid stable to 92-90fps, same settings, same time of day. Gsync/VRR was not working on LG C1 120hz. 566.14 also installed with DDU… What is Nvidia doing with drivers? Seriously. If windows install 560.94 without my permission i will go crazy!

Working fine here with an RTX 4090.
