Anybody know if you should enable "Prefer Max Performance" while using the new Nvidia FPS limiter? Nvidia said themselves in their release article for the limiter that "Prefer Max Perf" + FPS limit would reduce latency while Optimal would consume less power, but in all the tests I've seen from years past Optimal Power performs the same as Prefer Max in almost all cases nowadays so did something change with the new Nvidia limiter then or what? Thanks,

Driver seems good so far. No issues on my end.

Its somewhere complete list of Nvidias open issues? I thing that have to be zillions of them and in this list is just peak of iceberg? What about only bugs in Geforce Experience with is still cant often open its GUI on multiple of my machines (exception code 0xc0000005)?

People on unsupported chipsets could switch to Linux. Nvidia still support legacy devices with their new drivers, and it's not like you can use run games anyway. Steam with Proton should run games old enough for that hardware.

Once again, one of you "GPU is old" guys go a tirade about them not being able to play games and show you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
This nonsense you're spouting is exactly what gives the console camp fire about a PC having to be upgraded each two years.

I'm not disagreeing. Nvidia should support legacy chipsets in their Windows drivers. In fact, I pointed out that they do still support them in Linux to show that they could also do it in Windows if they wanted to.
In practical terms, the solution for longer support might be to look at Linux, that's all.

I go here and then pick "Beta and Older Drivers"

Ever since Red Dead Redemption 2 came out it's been my go to game to test new drivers with. These work just fine. Man that game has really come a long way since release, I've gained 10 more fps on average to this point since Nov 5th. So cheers to Nvidia and Rockstar.

Different possibly soon to become the new standard for drivers from Microsoft on how the software is distributed and what's allowed by having it into various components mainly the core driver as one part and then extras (Like the control panel.) though AMD which I'm on doesn't quite follow that design. 😛
Far as I know it's managed between Microsoft Update (Or the hardware vendor itself.) for the main driver part and then those extras would be in the form of Windows Universal Apps with the key driver bit also restricted mostly to the Windows folder and some other changes for how it's installed and permissions and where it gets installed.
Landed in Redstone 3 but it's dragged a bit for replacing the older format although in the newer Windows 10 builds it's often the default but the OS at least for now still allows installing the older driver model without issue.
EDIT: Think Redstone 5 was intended to push DCH as the only model initially but I assume it dragged a bit from software and driver support even if several are now onboard with this change.
At least audio and GPU wise, not too sure on the rest, network I think Intel has support for now and then chipset I'm entirely unsure on that situation and the whole ton of various input drivers and others.
(So it's not going to take over just yet and I doubt Microsoft could just scrap the existing model all that easily either.)
