Download NVIDIA GeForce 466.77 WHQL drivers. This release adds support for GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and No Man's Sky which introduces NVIDIA DLSS technology.

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.

I also expect to take a while to fix the bit depth issue.
Meanwhile you can try the MPO fix that considerably reduces the latency in 8bit mode.
can you explain MPO, Thanks

Hi, Could you explain, i have

How does this tell me it's laggy and how do the drivers affect this?

when you use realtime audio or when you look around in video-games, if you dont feel any delay then its probably nothing to worry about.

also latencymon says "your system is suitable" so its ok.

I believe they are referring to the 'multi-plane overlay' thing, which is what DX12 uses to barge in on the fake 'true fullscreen' for stuff like system overlays, etc. This issue has 'mostly' been solved, and if you have the absolute newest bleeding edge build of Windows 10 (might not be possible without being on insider ring yet?) it supposedly IS fixed, but...

The 'MPO fix' is a registry tweak to disable this, there is another tweak to re-enable it. Loooooong story short, the way it is supposed to work now is that Windows (DWM, etc) only interferes with the 'fullscreen' while actually doing an overlay (like if you change volume on your keyboard), so any input lag and such related to the overlay is only transient. Depending on GPU, Windows version/build, Nvidia drivers (which change by the hour it seems), and whether or not your meds are balanced - some people still have 'issues' with latency/lag on input/display and such because of this. Keep in mind the people who worry about this stuff also consider their dental filling material to be part of input lag issues.

You can find discussion about this 'fix' in various dark corners of the Intarwebz, including threads here. Here, this thread discusses it and has links and such to the reg tweaks: https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8282

ps. Bottom line, most people don't have a clue about what is really going on with the way Windows/Nvidia/Your.Shit.Monitor handles 10 bit / 8 bit / 12 bit / HDR / etc and still think mucking about with HPET in the Bios will explain why they suck so bad at Counterstrike. Most of the DX11 tweaks like 'disable fullscreen optimization' and process lasso and such don't mean anything in DX12 and if you want your crap game fixed use Special K and ask your dentist for specifics regarding the titanium alloy used in your implants.

Hmm? 9.19.0218 with 466.63 here. About to do .77 now.

Update: Yep same 9.19.0218 with 466.77. Guess something else insalled 9.20.0221 for you before.
