NICE DRIVER AFTER BENCH 😎;)

Strange, I had to reset the system with the MB RESET button because all screens remained blacked out (some of them showed solid black, others "no signal") indefinitely after initiating "express install". It looks like the install process compleleted anyway.

Anybody else notice in the release notes they completely washed the open issues section?

The amount of drivers I have installed since switching to nVidia about two months ago is absolutely ridiculous. I love updating drivers and never thought in all my days that driver updates would ever become tedious but here we are...

Don't understand. In 546.31 NV wrote "Intermittent stutter may be observed when V-SYNC is enabled [4379096]" in addressing issues but here in 546.33 first after hotfix they delete this issue from addressing albeit they usually duplicate addressing fixes from hotfix. Why? Fix does not help?

1. You don't have to update drivers once new versions come out.
2. It takes ~3 minutes to do with a clean install option, manual removal of old monitor device and restoration of the display configuration and settings for the game I'm currently playing.

I know it isn't a big deal which is why I am already updated and always update to the latest version. I am just saying that objectively it has been absolutely nuts the number of driver releases nVidia has had in the last two months. I am pretty sure this is the most updating of GPU drivers I have ever done in such a small time frame.
What is gong on over there? I heard someone say they are using ML to optimize their drivers and I wonder if that is causing all sorts of problems?

Nothing is going on, new stuff comes out, they release new drivers for it.
"new games supporting DLSS 3 technology including THE FINALS and Squad. Further support for new titles leveraging NVIDIA DLSS technology includes the launch of Fortnite Chapter 5 which features DLSS Super Resolution."

Clearly you haven't been paying attention to all the hotfixes. I am not just talking about this single driver. I am talking about how many drivers, including the hotfixes, have come out in the last two months. It's been crazy.
Anyways, installed this just fine over the last and no issues so far but haven't played anything yet.

Nvidia's branching strategy is unknown, r545_00-157 could be a branch merge / consolidation of commits (r546_21-5, r546_21-4 etc) into the r545 mainline along with new commits.

For me this has the same issue as the other 545 546 drivers, in a simple very old d3d9 game fps doesn't stay synced to the monitor for no apparent reason. The monitor is at 120hz, the game slowly drops to 80-90fps, while the 3060ti sits almost idle at only 200mhz. gsync, hardware accelerated gpu scheduling settings don't fix it, when i go back to 537.58 everything is okay. It's not only this single game, also happens on dx11 titles I play, albeit to a lesser extend, hovering at 100fps while there are no limiting factors.
What's up with this? I've never had any issues like this before 545.

I have been experiencing that sort of behaviour with various DX9 and DX9->DX11 ported games for years. DXVK seems to "fix" that for most games. Unfortunately, DXVK doesn't seem to support HDR10 on Windows (at least with the titles I tried) and some games just outright fail to start with DXVK (probably a launcher-DRM issue in case of the "EA App" since these worked with "Origin Client").

Darkje: What if you set Power mangement mode to "Prefer max. performace" in NVCP for these low demanding games?
As for this driver, installed and right away stuttering while draging windows over desktop and scrolling in browsers on my 240Hz monitor. As with all 54x.x drivers - no problems in games, only the annoying desktop jerkiness. Too bad I have this "certain system" where it manifests. I wonder if NV actualy bothers to fix it someday. Until then back to 537.58 for me.
dr_rus
I have literally never experienced such behavior, and I play a lot of old games.
Darkje
Yea for the old game it works if i set max performance, but i don't need max performance, with 537 i'm fine if the card runs at 400mhz instead of almost 2000mhz. In the dx11 title i tested it does boost to max speed, but hovers at 60% usage and doesn't stay synced to refresh, no power, vcore or load limit, no cpu limit. with 537 i get a bit higher usage and it does stay true to sync.
aufkrawall2
You probably hit some other issue like Windows performance regression or otherwise CPU limited, which I guess is not related to that weird performance drop issue of recent Nvidia drivers.

This is the first time I have seen multiple nVidia control panel icons on the right hand portion of the task bar.
