Download GeForce 466.27 WHQL drivers. The drivers include the optimum experience for Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition, which adds additional ray-traced effects and NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 for greater performance and improved image quality. Additionally, this release also provides optimal support for Mass Effect Legendary Edition and Resident Evil Village, along with support for 5 new G-SYNC Compatible displays.

Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is optimized for the best gameplay on day-1. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums. For those that wonder, the DCH driver is a Microsoft DCH (Declarative Componentized Hardware supported apps) driver and refers to a new Windows 10 driver package preinstalled by OEMS implementing the Microsoft Universal Driver paradigm. While the base core component files remain the same, the way DCH drivers are packaged differs from previous Legacy (Standard) drivers. We recommend the normal driver and not DCH.

This new Game Ready Driver provides support for the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition, which adds additional ray-traced effects and NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 for greater performance and improved image quality. Additionally, this release also provides optimal support for Mass Effect Legendary Edition and Resident Evil Village, along with support for 5 new G-SYNC Compatible displays.

This driver updates the hash limiter for the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB and is required for product shipped starting mid-May.

Is this a driver issue or was the problem with Windows / MPO?

This is not a driver issue, the drivers support for Multiplane overlays exposed it, but its a bug in Chromium's renderer swapping every frame between RGB and NV12 due to failing on NV12 for some reason.

Upstream has recently checked in a fix: see
f331ac03f7d07758e7820792c89b8a39cd5e2195 - chromium/src - Git at Google (googlesource.com)

It's a shame that this and the WoW Shadowlands bug are still here though.

I'm installing this for security fixes since 466.11 version

Don't have an RTX card, so can't play Enhanced Metro Exodus

Hello all,

And what about this:
https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2333319-nVidia-Resizable-BAR-problem-with-Vulkan?p=15395023

Ubisoft does not see any problem.

Someone else is facing the issue?
