Thanks, just as I was about to update to the hotfix driver. Can anyone tell me what the sharpening situation is as of these past few drivers; does CP sharpening still only apply when used in Global Settings or did Nvidia revert to the initial behavior where sharpening would work individually per game profile? It's the only thing really preventing me from updating.

So they just promoted the Hotfix driver to mainline then? Did that ever happen before?

If you compare each driver unpacked there are different sized and dated files, so it's not just a rename HF to WHQL.

Driver build ?
I didn't install it yet since I am on HF one, I just checked whether it would pay to DL and save for later installing.

@ManuelG After months of problems with Youtube and Google constantly dropping connection from Geforce Experience, the issue is still not fixed. Besides wiping and reinstalling GFE I made entirely fresh Google account, and its still no-go. Constantly having to login kills the quality of the product itself (GFE). All-in-all what used to be a minor inconvenience has become nicely annoying 🙂 On top of this Broadcast LIVE suddenly stopped working two days ago. "Your broadcast to Youtube has failed". Am I crazy to think that Youtube is saving bandwidth by purposely throttling down and discouraging certain, less desirable traffic? NONE OF THIS is happening with Twitch. Oh and... Instant Replay and Record videos have wrong gamma, contrast, crushed black - they are too dark when uploaded to Youtube. Yet these same videos look fine played locally on my PC by any media player. Only when uploaded and transcoded by Youtube they become too dark. And this only happens with GFE videos.

I set individual sharpening in Rocket League and it works fine. : )

I installed this over the Hotfix and GPU-Z still shows this as a Beta which is odd as it was shown as successfully installed. And, yes, I have restarted my PC. Does that mean you have to use DDU to uninstall it then reinstall it to get it to show as WHQL? I would not have thought this would be necessary as the only thing that is different from the Hotfix is the certification.

Dunno. I didn't have the hotfix - came from 456.55. 2 or 3 times I was at my wits end and had to use DD on my R9 290 - it didn't end well 🙂 So it's a last resort for me. My entire Good Practices Self-Memo consists of: Reboot BEFORE installing

I would assume they would've recompiled it, but the version being the same would be odd if its actually different behavior-wise, its not like they don't have an unlimited amount of numbers.

Actually youtube and twitch both do this during this covid period - https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/20/21187930/youtube-reduces-streaming-quality-european-union-coronavirus-bandwidth-internet-traffic
