Reverted back to 442 drivers, all is good. These new drivers were rushed out and have serious problems. Dont get.

Yes the FPS is dropping alittle on my games as well when using R445 while R442 is getting better result. Another issue is the heat generated higher in 445 than 442.

A driver isn't going to create more heat...that isn't how it works.

When i install this driver the option of DLSS in MW5 display menu disappears but in the graphics menu the options that grey out when DLSS is activated are still greyed out,reverting to 445.75 and the option reappears

You're wrong about that. Game optimizations can increase GPU utilization and temps. I've never seen it more than a couple degrees C though. By 'heat' I believe he meant his GPU temps are higher. And yes than can happen.

GeForce Hotfix display driver version 445.78 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 445.75. This Hotfix driver addresses the following: Some DirectX 11 games may fail to launch when Image Sharpening is enabled from the NVIDIA Control Panel https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/geforce-445-78-hotfix-driver-download.html Branch [r445_75-2]
Excellent, there were games like USF4 or Bulletstorm that stopped working 2 or 3 driver versions ago, and I had to disable the sharpening in order to open them.

Well, that problem with the games I mentioned, I've had it since 442.59. By the way, now that I remember there were several W10 applications (msn news, whatsapp, atube and some others) where I also had to disable it because there were anomalies.

Back to the subject, these hotfixes reset all the settings of my Nvidia panel. I had to manually modify it back to the way it was.

If my card is idling at 135 MHz as it is now because I am just sitting here typing this. It is going to be that 135 MHz regardless of any driver change. How can a driver magically make that warmer or cooler? Does the driver have control over my ambient temperature?
