Off to test these and also find out what variable rate super sampling is as that sounds interesting.
Do you have a VR headset?
Will probably be even better with a VR headset that has eye tracking, so that the highest amount of SS is applied to where you look instead of lens center.
I was looking forward to new drivers but apparently control panel sharpening is still broken on these...
Can't remember the last time I had to skip so many drivers but oh well, another skip.
What apps do you have running in the background? How many monitors are connected to your graphics card?
Only one monitor (lg38gl950g). I turned off: msi afterburner, razer app, iCUE, anti malware, samsumg magican, discord, world of warcraft app. It was still the same.
No problem with 450.99 tho.
How can Nvidia claim this driver has official Windows 10 May 2020 support but still runs on WDDM 2.6?
jwb1:
They are counting on most people not knowing or caring, which is probably true.
nevcairiel:
Who ever claimed WDDM 2.7 was mandatory?
Will it not work on Windows 10 20.04?
From the "What's new":
Our Game Ready Driver also provides support for Microsoft's release of the Windows 10 May 2020 update, which is now starting to roll out to users. The new Windows update brings a wide variety of new features, ranging from the GPU temperature being shown in Task Manager, to the introduction of the new DirectX 12 Ultimate graphics API.
Without WDDM 2.7, nVidia's above statement is a complete lie, as this driver does NOT provide support for build 2004, but the other way around: Windows' build 2004 brings support for old drivers.
So yes, Pinstripe's question is 100% justified.
FYI, Intel's current official stable driver has been WDDM 2.7 complaint for some time now.
So, nvidia sharpening never going back to how it was? Still broken. Last version where it worked correctly and in all games was in 442.74. Haven't tested the insider ones though. Loved using sharpening on older games.
No idle issues here with my 2080Ti.. drops to 330Mhz at idle which I believe is the expected idle for a 144Hz also running Dual-Monitor. But I did have to reboot once to get sound working again using HDMI out for audio.
