Anyone on Windows 11? Are you guys using HAGS on or off? It's enabled by default.

As always, performance down if we compare with previous drivers 🙁
As always, you state subjective drivel as fact.

MSI GE66 11UH Raider 4K Win10 - Brightness controls broken in discrete graphics mode. Stuck on lowest brightness with no way to increase brightness. Reverting to 471.41 fixed the problem (I haven't tried any drivers more recent than that). Intel drivers up to date. Clean driver install did not help.

Yeap, what's with HAGS ? Is it ok to use it now ? No stutters/crashes etc ?

I wonder the same, having it off since the issues with it started. Seems to be on by default in win11 tho.

Some games in your bench were slightly higher while some were slightly lower. You contradicted yourself when you said performance was lower across the board.

Pretty much. And all of the variances were close enough to be within margin of error.

Entirely flat frame time graph in Far Cry 6 is weird too (actually impossible). So apparently something was changed between running the different games.

So it may have just been the fresh install but this driver is giving me a much smoother Halo Infinite experience than I had on 497.09 much less stutters and was having weird texture glitches on .09 (clearing shader cache didn't fix them) and played 5 hours tonight with no issues., seems like a fine driver.

No problemo with 497.09 and Halo infinite, i even push my card to max via graphics settings beyond the limit 🙂

I did a DDU install of these and Im getting huge stutters/lags in BF 2042 and Minion Masters after. Not sure why. Disabled Gsync/Vsync and didnt improve. Like Minion Masters pretty much freezes for several seconds.

Guess you are just going to ignore where I called out your crap and pretend it didn't happen?

Finally Nvidia managed to fix my resolution reset on reboot in Windows 11, on RTX 2080 S. It took a while Nvidia!

Had some really bad stuttering on Borderland 3 with this new driver. Maybe it was just new driver/shaders loading or something because it cleared up after about 10 minutes. Still strange though as it's usually butter smooth.

Still no NIS for mobile chips?

I guess I am sticking with 472.12 until Jan. drivers :'(
What do you aspect from the January drivers over this new driver? If they not work well you go back to 472.12 again ? 🙂
