Oh yes! Driver for FFXV! Let's hope the performance has vastly improved.

tested ROTTR on DX12, bad artifacts, screen flashes, large pixel like flashes, stutter, inconsistent frame rendering tested GEARS of WAR 4 DX12 texture flash, random freezes and then recovers, inconsistent frame pacing tested Ashes of the Singularity, Escalation DX12 runs fine except for newly introduced longer load time than 388.84 as well as logs a crash dump tested Wolfenstein New Colossus Vulkan runs fine but crashes on exit, creates dump file I'm reverting to 388.84 in comparison to 388.84 these drivers seem more unstable. In fairness the ROTTR Dx12 issue was there with the 388.84 drivers. However, all 390 and 391 series drivers have proven unstable, slower, and introduced a myriad of issues. IMHO There is a very iffy and unstable feel in all the 390/391 drivers so far, makes the system feel not solid. Little things such as long blank screen pauses on boot, strange behavior closing or opening some applications, long load times on some games sections, etc Something just feels "way off" with these latest drivers (390/391) last usable driver for me was 388.84

Luckily we get a Demo release in 2 days. That'll probably show performance metrics better then the benchmark.

You all are welcome I tested and suggested 388.84 in few threads. 😉

Luckily we don't have to wait that long 🙂 The demo is released today in about 40min (GMT+1). http://steamcommunity.com/games/637650/announcements/detail/1661137104726728365

Actually the demo should come out in an hour or two I believe. 🙂 EDIT: Mentioned already above. 😀

Did you set Adaptive mode & use the 3D application setting for Media Player Classic (mpc-hcx64.exe)? OT: Did you manage to update the microcode update 0x24 or?

I am in 24 microcode but i also tried 22. Same thing the mouse stutter heavily until the movie finish load. i tried multiple hdds and a ssd. with vlc it dont do the same thing. I use default k lite install settings. In previous driver all are ok.

Oh, well that is a nice surprise 🙂 I was sure the demo would be released on the 1st. Though, I'm not complaining.

Why would someone even use codec packs when MPC-HC, MPV and VLC exist? No changes in FFXV score so I guess those optimizations are for GameWorks features that are not in the benchmark.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck with 1E (P2.00) & unable to flash 24. I strongly suggest you stick with the official P2.00

I was about to test and see, so no difference in benchmark? funny.. Well benchmark uses turf grass and hairworks on those silly "cows", so it should have an affect too.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 crashes instantly if DX12 is selected trough the options. Not sure if it will work with some of the older drivers or not because of how recent the beta is. Some AMD users already confirmed that they are not crashing on launch using DX12, so I have to blame it either on the driver(which will come in no surprise) or the beta itself.

Why would you use dx12 with your gtx 970 anyways? Nvidia performs alot better with dx11.

Now that the demo is out we can test what would be basically a final product. Mine is still downloading, but according to steam forums performance is better than in demo even with cranked up settings.

Although true, it's actually sad that nvidia are struggling with the dx12 so much, where it should be the other way around.

Because u try it wrong. Take the last ubu 1.69.15 push button 7 ,1b,24 and flash it. Why u try to put it manual there i cannot understand. also u must use mtool 5.0.7 because mtool 5.0.24 is only for ami V.(above x99 chipset) I modded it for you take it a look: -https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97%20Pro4/#BIOS mod: -http://www.uploadmb.com/dw.php?id=1519669787

So why is it that people are saying that this driver is better for PUBG when there is no mention of this anywhere in the release notes? You'd think that a Nvidia sponsored title would have something in the release notes if they improved things.

I can confirm that this driver produce a weird freeze (even mouse cursor don't move during it) when starting video playback in MPC-HC. No codec packs here.
