I am still using this version with no issues in a 5080.
Surprise ā¦
I previously compared buggy drivers with what I think is the best driver for 50XX GPUs, which is 577.00. I decided to check again to see if anything has changed. I tested, of course, with āPrefer maximum performanceā.
I still consider driver 577.00 to be the best for my RTX 5090. Keep in mind that newer drivers also include security updates.
The choice is yours.
Thank you Captain!
I know your response was primarily to the other person, but I would like to actually see a comparison with Prefer maximum performance enabled and disabled if you ever do it. Or I guess I suppose I could just do it myself.
I donāt really have time to test buggy drivers right now - thatās the first thing.
Second, charts wonāt really tell you much in this case anyway, because what matters more is how it actually feels while gaming. You can have a graph that looks fine, but the in-game experience between āMaximum Performanceā and āNormalā can feel completely different. For example, I get less stuttering and slightly better performance with āMaximum Performanceā and Iām not the only one whoās noticed that.
Just play whatever feels best for you. I use Maximum Performance, you can stick with Normal.
Iām not trying to be argumentative, just genuinely curious. My experience was that it made no difference, at least no discernible difference. That was a while ago though. And I donāt dismiss what youāre saying because Iām a āfeelā guy who was dragged kicking and screaming into āshowing the dataā, so I know it canāt always be seen. I would think though that less stuttering and better performance would be demonstrable in the data.
But I get it, all good.
For me it was actually the opposite - I noticed the game feels better with Maximum Performance - obviously on a non-buggy driver.
Which driver is buggy?
Among others, the latest drivers.
I donāt really have time to keep going back and forth on this conversation, so Iāll leave it here for now 
Fly safe mate.
The two latest drivers are the best Iāve ever tested.
I actually found a moment right before the Portugal vs Spain match to reply. Iām hoping Ronaldo wins. Portugal and Ronaldo kind of deserve it at this point, heās just one of those players who genuinely keeps pushing and still wants it badly.
Just keep in mind that our gaming setups are quite different. I play in 4K and Iām on an RTX 5090.
For the RTX 50XX series, in my experience, the latest drivers arenāt necessarily the best. Iād say 577.00 has been the most stable and smooth for me on this generation.
When I was still on an RTX 4090, I found (and this was also supported by some game developersā feedback) that 566.14 and 566.36 were among the best drivers in terms of stability and smoothness.
I canāt really test older ones anymore since all my current PCs are already running RTX 50XX.
Gonna be an interesting day between that and Balogun, but I digress. Enjoy the game(s)!
Excuse me guys! There is no time for Football j/k SU6 BETA is here.
And just a reminder before entering betaā¦
- AMD Platforms (Driver Stability and Compatibility Testing)
- General Driver Stability and Compatibility Testing Results
Happy flying!
I would say, though, that thereās a difference between getting better performance with another driver on your particular setup vs. labeling a driver to be ābuggyā. That to me infers a general issue with the driver that would affect a large number of users.
And tough day on the pitch yesterday. We (USA) got embarrassed.
The NVIDIA changelogs clearly show that certain driver releases have performance impacts, and Iāve seen that myself as well. Thatās all I wanted to point out, so Iāll leave it at that.
