Nvidia drivers discussion

Thanks, mate!

 

So, 441.08 in terms of performance and stability in comparison to older drivers?

Now i am on 436.30...

 

Was 436 not the bad one?

 

436 was good to me..

I tried this new sharpening filter. I did not like it. It messed with my windows desktop programs which I eventually sorted and in game it was grainy and had a cartoon effect.

 

You have to lower film grain to 10 or less, it is definitely grainy at default. I’m having no issues with desktop programs.
I think part of the reason some are having issues with the way it looks is using multiple sharpening options at once.
Try the in game only, try reshademe only, try Nvidia only. No two eyes are the same so what looks great to me might look terrible to you.

 

@ Ducati - Thank you I forgot that I had the Advanced Sharpening filter in ACC on, so that was overdoing it.. Once I turned off ACC filtering it looked fine. From a quick look 30% Nv filter is similar to ACC ASF=On, 40% Sharpening @ 150% SP. I'll mess around with a bit more..

 

This. The driver is fine for me. I've reverted to in-game sharpening only.

 

Can you please elaborate on this statement?

From what I can tell the higher the ignore film grain setting the less sharpened and less grain I experience. Others have reported the same here:-

You are correct I have it backwards.

This ignore film grain setting is confusing when I lower it (using a 2560x1080 ultra wide only) my image appears smoother with less grain?

When I raise it I get more pronounced static and grain. I need to look at my monitor settings and do more research thank you for the link.

 

True. It is weirdly named with a vague description..

 

Yes, forgot to say. I do have ACC Advanced Sharpening Filter off as even before the new Sharpening nvidia option I had extreme grainy graphics as @Coanda mentioned.
I will play also the ACC sharpening level. Nice thing about the graphics driver option it does not seems to affect performance at all.

 

I tried the latest driver and i had good results in comparison to 436.30.
Better performance (+5fps) overall but most important better stability with less frame drops during start when racing against AI.

 

There are no good or bad drivers, just whatever works well for you. The number of times I've read about someone having poor performance with a particular driver only to later read that someone else thinks it's the best ever! That's why I always find it pointless when people ask for opinions about the latest driver. The only sure way to know how well it will work for you is to try it. It's easy enough to get rid of a driver using DDU if it doesn't work on your system.

 

I downloaded the 441’s today & picked up about 7 fps. love the image sharpener, set it to 70/ 25 its crystal clear now.

 

With what ingame sharpening settings do you have or changed?

 

Its in the nvidia control panel not the game. You have to have the latest 441 driver.

Having revisited the Nvidia sharpening tool, I do quite like it. Setting the grain slider to 100 I find gives the best clarity, then sharpen to suit.
In-game settings are 'standard' with enhanced sharpening off and image sharpening at 80.

 

It would be nice if you participated in the GPU benchmark thread. A driver that increases FPS is what we're trying to identify there.

 

But what he is asking is what settings do you have the ingame shaprening settings set at along side with the nvidia ones??

 

My sharpness in game has always been %90. I don't use the advanced sharpen filter at all..
