[SLI][World of Warcraft Shadowlands]: Character images may flicker when SLI is enabled. [200647193]
Very interesting that they are finally taking a look at this. This has actually been an issue for a while with WoW and not specific to the new upcoming Shadowlands expansion. In my backup computer I'm still running 3x GTX680 in SLI and while the game works great overall, even making good use of all 3 GPUs, the character image in the top of the screen will flicker sometimes and it can be distracting.
No mention of Horizon Zero Dawn despite all its problems.
I think most that game problem need to be solved by the developer,
I still sitting on 442.59. I probably wont bother upgrade them cause game I have installed and are play work fine, no reason to change it less I start playing some newer game. and newest game I play is Bloodstained ritual of the night
Wouldnt mind if NVidia fixed the glitch UI when enabled gpu scaling. then again I dont use it and probably has been fixed

I was thinking the same. Probably not much Nvidia can do with that one though until the developer fixes it. Hell I tried using 492.xx and it ran much better/smoother than the latest drivers, but that cache file it makes while "Optimizing" came out to be 22 MB instead of 575 and the loading times were like 5 minutes long...all of them. 5 min to get into the menu, 5 more to get in game, etc.
EDIT: Just fired up Horzon Zero Dawn with this driver. It was bad before, it's much worse now. The mouse lag is just insane now. Unplayable. Tried all the Low Latency modes, made no difference. Back to 451.85 for now.
Afterburner in-game bench result:

You dont know that.
This probably wont happen. Im pretty sure Sony isnt happy with all the negativity going on with their poor release.
That is certainly true, but TBH i have seen far worse releases of games. Dishonered 2 for instance. atleast this is somewhat playable to a certain degree.
Dispite that, it does require fixing the game as it is far from a representative version.
To this day I still cannot play Dishonored 2, Even with a 2080ti.
most of which are client issues when run on wddm 2.6+ drivers, which are equally as present on radeon systems.
Right, I played the game and its not so bad. The framerate was lower than expected, but I just lowered some settings and played fine at 1080 60 fps. This is why some developers just get rid of higher settings, many gamers just try to max everything and dont care if the settings are meant for future hardware.
Why cant you run it? Im confused, I can run it with a 1070 if I have my settings adjusted properly.
I always had issues with frame pacing. FPS would be fine but the gpu usage would drop or frametimes would be all over the place.
In fairness I last tried it a few days after I got the 2080ti so I should really give it another go,.
This is all interesting in terms of frame pacing.
So.....I have reported to NVIDIA on their forums that there is a Windowed Mode/Fullscreen Borderless Mode frame limitation when used at 240hz and the previous driver. I use the Acer Predator monitor XB273 with a RTX 2060 Super 8GB GDDR6 and when it's set to 240hz / DP 1.2 the Windowed Mode's frame rates drop to about 180 FPS. 120hz works fine, but 180hz seems to be it's limit, even with Microsoft Edge, yet, these guys are boasting the Ampere GPU. So.....
Without DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0b, you can't use 240hz at all. This could also be an OS limitation somewhere in the composite desktop since Windowed and Borderless Fullscreen modes still hook into the composite. However, Fullscreen Exclusive mode is fully compliant with DP 1.2 and 240hz as it bypasses the composite desktop completely.
It's not going to help if the Windows 10 driver and it's apps that hook into the composite desktop are limited at DisplayPort 1.1's standards / 180hz. I smell a bug here.
Ok people, I have installed this over 451.85 (upgraded not clean installed) & HZD is working perfectly fine, no issues with shader compilation (yes it did recompile the shaders on launch after updating gpu driver without issue), no failing to launch, no frame drops, no stuttering, locked 60fps 2560x1440 (full screen & borderless).
Jen1:
Night mode is not working anymore after I installed this driver ...anyone?
Just tested night mode & it does exactly what it's supposed to do.
FYI @Party Poison : Dishonored 2 runs just peachy for me...
Will proceed to test all my other current playlist games (all the latest AAA & lesser releases).
My system specs are : i7 5930k, 32gb ddr4 corsair, EVGA 1080ti sc2, 1tb samsung ssd (HZD installed on it), PSU corsair CX750 watt, LC AIO for both GPU & CPU. system CPU OC 4.5ghz, gpu core OC 2033mhz, vram OC +500mhz offset, system ram xmp 2667mhz.
I'll report anything that fails...
