Nvidia driver

[Anatolius]

Haven't updated since 398.36, are newer drivers any good yet?

[Kasiope]

I would like to know as well. I want to come back and play the game again, though i remember i had to downgrade my drivers to get stable 60 fps back when the game went out. If someone have informations about this, please share them :3

No. I've been getting random slowdowns whenever anyone takes enough damage to cart with the latest driver.

For what it's worth, one of my regular hunting partners is also on the latest driver with a better card (GTX 1080 IIRC), and they're having the exact same slowdown issue as me. Honestly considering rolling back to 398.36 at this point because my performance was absolutely flawless on that driver.

It seems like the last few drivers that have come out of nvidia have all had weird performance issues, so I have no idea what those guys are up to or why they're screwing up the drivers so bad.

I'm on a GeForce 1080 and driver version 417.35, with the best framerate I've had so far. I tweaked a few settings and consistently get around 60fps, except when there are 8 giant bombs going off at once.

I also have the ReShade mod with a couple adjustments there too. Good luck.

Latest drivers via 1080 here. I play solo and will only suffer issues in super-intensive areas, eg. phat explosions in foggy areas full of other nonsense effects, only really noticeable in cut-scenes that try to dial things up to 11. Gameplay wise, I'll only get a dip when I do my usual melee into triple WyvernMines as an LBG user (basically a screen full of triple explosions and monster effects directly in-front of the camera, which lasts about 3 seconds, so not even worth mentioning as I only do this versus downed monsters any way).

For those trying to tweak the game without stupendous GFX loss, the big offenders are Volumetric Rendering (the fog effect - turn that off for a big FPS boost), foilage sway (moderate FPS save for the sake of static plants), and of course shadow quality - but even shadows on High didn't cause much issue compared to the above two settings.

I have everything on mostly high (one or two medium) with the two main offenders turned off and the game looks good to me. Again, only a specific few areas (or circumstances) will give the card a little trouble -- and I say that as someone who is also doing full-screen 2560x1440 recording and/or streaming at the same time (even more resource hogging).

When I had issues with a newer driver I usually did a clean install and/or used NVIDIA Profile Inspector to clear out the profile from the previous driver. Start fresh each time and no issues. Running a 1080 TI if that helps.

I always get this weird flickering as I move around in horizontal bands across my screen. It's weird. Doesn't do anything, but they are annoying visual artifacts.

[Kasiope]

Well, back to 398.36 it seems then... jeez.

[Corrodias]

None of you mentioned which operating system you're using. The driver code differs.

[Floid]

Drivers after 399.xx and onwards had their revisions lists suspended by Nvidia - probably because they want to focus on stability for the 2000 series platform.

Really sucks.. but with the "optimized games" program support they have to maintain, combined with the more uniform driver variants they now follow, this was hardly a surprise I guess.

But yea, it really sucks, especially if you have a card that worked fine before like the 1080, then you update, and boom... ! stability is gone.

Advice at the moment is 980's shouldn't go above v.370 range and 1080's shouldn't go above v.399 range. And the 2000 series support will improve as the v.400 range develops, but if you want overall stability, then follow the range set for 1080's.

Hopefully Nvidia will go back to SOP once their happy with the v.400 range support. But god knows when that will be.

I do remember freezes when somebody carts, and that was on 398.36
I've installed newest drivers, but i've yet to test it, dunno when i'll have the time

I just did a complete uninstall and reinstall of 418.81 due to the advice above. I'll play more tomorrow and check back if it fixes anything.

I made the mistake of updating from 398.

I now have periodic slowdowns and full stops in a couple of games. Asteria especially catches me out. The pauses are about 1-2seconds.

Before people comment. Im having the same issues in Warframe and Xcom2. Games that ran fine for years.

Ill be downgrading this weekend when I have a break from work.

Can you specify where this issue happens in Warframe, i might check it out for myself.
