Ah finally. I was having quite a few chrome crashes with the previous one. I hope this is better.

While Chrome hasn't been crashing for me the last little while whenever it goes to full screen video and then back to browser it never resizes the browser to its original size. Also when the monitor goes to sleep mode and comes out the same thing happens, Chrome is resized different to what I had left it. Its annoying and has happened since the last 6-7 Nvidia drivers.

Have the same thing on Chrome on the secondary monitor, if I close a full screen YouTube video on the secondary monitor, it will ever so slightly extend into my primary monitor. Weird.

I thought I was the only one with the Chrome issue. I was getting ready to reinstall Windows 10. When I get the issue, signing out of Windows and back in fixes the issue. Hopefully these new drivers will fix the issue. Been ongoing for the last few driver versions.

At last, they fixed my issue where my monitor(freesync) had strange motion flickering after restarting or cold-booting if gsync compatible option is enabled. I don't have to turn on, then turn off and turn on again my monitor to fix that issue.

And again this one is not remembering custom setting in desktop colour settings..

Good fixes in this one going by the PDF notes, even some early OpenCL 2.0 support and general performance gains in many games for G-Sync users. (G-Sync bug fix? OS bug workaround??) plus the usual fixes and a smaller list of known issues. 🙂 Odd to see Turing specific SLI profiles unless the earlier GPU models already had support in these games and this is some additional compatibility mode or something. PDF is this but I think it's listed in the main thread for this driver already but for convenience here: http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/418.81/418.81-win10-win8-win7-desktop-release-notes.pdf And then the topic thread from GeForce.om, I mainly use that to check on the latest known issues: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1097177/geforce-drivers/official-418-81-game-ready-whql-display-driver-feedback-thread-released-2-4-19-/ And from the PDF quoting the SLI profiles:

Application SLI ProfilesAdded or updated the following SLI profiles: •Anthem •Assetto Corsa Competizione - AFR enabled for Turing GPUs •Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 - AFR enabled for Turing GPUs •Life is strange Season 2 - AFR enabled for Turing GPUs •NBA 2K19 - AFR enabled for Turing GPUs •Space Hulk Tactics - AFR enabled for Turing GPU

And then features which is early OpenCL 2.0 support and the G-Sync performance improvements.

New Features Implemented performance improvements on multiple titles, such as Witcher 3. when using G-SYNC and SLI on Pascal and Maxwell GPUs.

Experimental OpenCL 2.0 Features Select features in OpenCL 2.0 are available in the driver for evaluation purposes only. The following are the features as well as a description of known issues with these features in the driver: Device side enqueue •The current implementation is limited to 64-bit platforms only. •OpenCL 2.0 allows kernels to be enqueued with global_work_size larger than the compute capability of the NVIDIA GPU. The current implementation supports only combinations of global_work_size and local_work_size that are within the compute capability of the NVIDIA GPU. The maximum supported CUDA grid and block size of NVIDIA GPUs is available at http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#compute-capabilities. For a given grid dimension, the global_work_size can be determined by CUDA grid size x CUDA block size. •For executing kernels (whether from the host or the device), OpenCL 2.0 supports non-uniform ND-ranges where global_work_size does not need to be divisible by the local_work_size. This capability is not yet supported in the NVIDIA driver, and therefore not supported for device side kernel enqueues. Shared virtual memory •The current implementation of shared virtual memory is limited to 64-bit platforms only.

And then the section of fixed issues:

Fixed Issues in this Release [Gamestream][OS HDR]: Stream is not set to launch in HDR despite having HDR display attached to the PC and client. [2467526] [GeForce Experience]: Share FPS overlay appears in the Twitter UWP app from the Microsoft Store. [2465033] [G-SYNC]: Flickering may occurs in games if G-SYNC is enabled. [2399845] [G-SYNC]: With G-SYNC enabled, after hot-pugging a G-SYNC display and then a G-SYNC Compatible display, the right half of the G-SYNC Compatible display may go blank.[200484819]

Followed by open/known issues:

Windows 10 Issues [GeForce RTX 20 series]: Event ID 14 error appears in event viewer logs when Digital Vibrance setting is changed. [2488424] [SLI][Shadow of the Tomb Raider][G-SYNC]: Flickering occurs in the game when launched with SLI, HDR, and G-SYNC enabled [200467122] [G-SYNC]: With a G-SYNC and G-SYNC Compatible display connected in clone mode, flashing occurs on games played on the G-SYNC display with G-SYNC enabled. [200482157] [HDR][Ni no Kuni 2]: Enabling HDR causes the application to crash when launched. [2483952] [ARK Survival]: Multiple errors and then blue-screen crash may occur when playing the game. [2453173] [Batman: Arkham Origins]: PhysX fog renders incorrectly [2451459] [Firefox]: Cursor shows brief corruption when hovering on certain links in Firefox. [2107201] Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) is not available for monitors with 4k2k timings. [2496987] Random desktop flicker occurs on some multi-display PCs [2453059]

Ending with the updates from the GeForce.com forum URL. (Some of these are in the known issue above already like the DSR one and others are only in the PDF and not the forum topic.)

Issues and updates: 2079538-Random DPC watchdog violation error when using multiple GPUs on motherboards with PLX chips -> Use the following tool to enable MSI mode as a temporary workaround (only apply changes to each NVIDIA GPU installed): https://github.com/CHEF-KOCH/MSI-utility/releases 2107201-Cursor shows brief corruption when hovering on certain links in Firefox/Steam 2449346-The Witcher 3 will BSOD with Bad Pool error randomly during gameplay 2451459-Batman: Arkham Origins: Physx fog rendering incorrectly 2453173-ARK Survival may crash with bad pool caller error and eventual BSOD 2488424-RTX 20 series: Event ID 14 error in event viewer when Digital Vibrance setting is changed 2496987-DSR is not available for monitors with 4k2k timings

EDIT: And yeah AMD GPU user currently but trying to keep up to date with both vendors and their drivers plus any quirks both listed and unlisted including the various known issues and other things. (Going to have to upgrade at some point in a year or two I expect, good to have some insight into what's going on ha ha.)

I'm one of the few who encountered the half blank screen when turning on Gsync on my freesync display, Glad to know they resolved the issue

Thanks for the update.

DCH version 🙂

What is this?

SKIBA:

Thanks for the update. What is this?

The Universal driver. If you load the DCH driver, the control panel must be downloaded from the Windows Store. This driver allows more functionality with other devices (mobile, tablet, console, Linux, etc).

Where is the Front line V SLI Profile Manuel? I've asked in each driver discharge since BFV was discharged and NVIDIA has overlooked my inquiry. We have had SLI Profiles at Dispatch for each BF diversion in the previous 8 years..DigitalOcean SiteGround iPage..why is there no SLI Profile for BFV???
