Does latest Nvidia driver update improve performance in this?

[Potential Legend]

Last nvidia driver bricked my PC so I'm still using the one from 2 releases ago and not sure about getting latest one yet. Has anyone noticed any improvements in performance with NMS after updating to 572.24? Might try it if it does.

I never install the newest drivers as they can do some bad things, especially with older games. It actually wrecked one of my older pc's when i did this. Be aware just because it is new does not mean it is good.

The thing with nvidia drivers is they rush out them as fast as possible without long term testing, this is why INTEL had issues too on those intel 13 and 14th chip issues, because INTEL wanted to show them off, so they put the voltage up to high. Then they tried to blame Motherboard manufacturer's, but eventually admitted it and sent out bios updates that fixed it more or less. Intel is very much like Nvidia.

I have never trusted newer nvidia drivers, and i do even less now. And just like intel, they have made mistakes in the past. So be warned you can brick your pc if you get newer drivers sometimes for your pc from nvidia. Your post is proof of this too.

Have you tried a factory reset of the driver to see if that fixes it? If you have Nvidia APP or Experience, you can find a setting in there to do it. Also, i believe the website has a application that does a clean factory reset too.

Very weird that a driver update would brick your PC.

I haven't noticed any performance boost worth noting. The last update was mostly for DLSS 4 or whatever the new one is.

No Man's Sky isn't using DLSS 4 right now so it doesn't much matter.

As much as I want to play No Mans Sky. The update was promoted for another game I play more. Shame I have to pick one over the other. Hope the dev's come up with a work around. Totally not going to spend time uninstalling drivers and updating them to swap games.

Drivers update can be a hit or miss. In the past, each time HG updated the game, it always recommended to install latest video drivers. As of late, it doesn't seem to be always the best for some.
