AMD, Intel and Nvidia driver issues and last recommended version - Page 35

SamuriHL · 22nd October 2019, 22:49

I still don't see the driver on nVidia's download page. I'm missing something...

nevcairiel · 22nd October 2019, 23:04

Its definitely there:

SamuriHL · 22nd October 2019, 23:50

Yea I can get to it from your link but search is still bringing me to the october 1 driver. That's WEIRD! Downloading it now.

SamuriHL · 23rd October 2019, 00:37

I'm already not a fan of this stupid driver. Really, nVidia? Previous drivers would often lose audio connection to my receiver when "idle". Which, ok, whatever. This new driver drops the connection back to stereo but it's constantly switching audio modes with the receiver. This probably doesn't happen for most people as I realize my equipment combination is probably unique, but, it was irritating before, now it's just downright obnoxious. My receiver CLICKS when it changes modes so having to hear it click constantly is stupid.

Manni · 23rd October 2019, 01:01

Does the nVidia control panel take ages to load and is changing any setting super slow? Here it's unbearable. I didn't check the sound but I'm probably going to revert to the previous driver, where the control panel also takes ages to load but where at least changes are done at normal speed.

I'm not sure if it's the 1903 or the recent nvidia drivers, but I never had this issue (slow to load + slow to change settings) in the CP before.

SamuriHL · 23rd October 2019, 01:31

I didn't have that issue. I'm running the potential 19h2 build so who knows what issue I'm having is. I'm likely to also revert if I can't figure out a solution to the audio issue.

Are you sure it's not some feature of 19H2? I'm using the same audio driver version that comes with r440 (1.3.38.21) but on 1809 and I don't have this.

FYI, you can 'fix' the audio stream drop when idle: search for 'PerformanceIdleTime' in the Registry & change it to 0 (you should find it in a PowerSettings subkey of the audio driver).

I was running the previous driver on the same windows build earlier with no issues. So, yea, it seems this driver with my equipment changed the status quo. I'll look into the setting.

huhn · 23rd October 2019, 05:57

the strange thing is the hd audio driver is the same as the last nvidia driver version.

SamuriHL · 23rd October 2019, 12:33

I'll do a clean install of the driver later. Maybe something got corrupt. Always possible.

Since 441.08 now officially supports HDMI 2.1 VRR ("G-Sync compatible" for LG OLED TVs) I'd like to use this driver. Can someone please check if this driver version works correctly with HDR video?
Also: I've read somewhere that there was a problem with raised HDR black level in 440.97, I hope they fixed that.

nevcairiel · 29th October 2019, 15:41

If you can't tell yourself if HDR is working correctly, does it ultimately matter? Does an issue affect you if you don't even notice?

cremor · 29th October 2019, 16:41

I'm currently not using my PC as an HTPC, so I'm not sure if I would notice. But I'd like to use it as one in the future and therefore would like to have a "known good" driver version for both HTPC and gaming.

SamuriHL · 29th October 2019, 18:57

Can I get another RTX owner to confirm something for me? I don't know when this changed so let me be clear on this. I'm using the 19H2 build of windows 10 and the driver just posted today. So that makes life difficult to determine when this changed. However, can someone confirm that they can now use D3D11 for presentation with 8 frame presented in advanced WITHOUT getting micro-stuttering issues that we previously saw? I am saying that i am able to play back with those settings and I'm not getting micro-stuttering anymore so I just want someone else to confirm this.

onekmilesbehind · 30th October 2019, 02:14

@SamuriHL I've got a 2070 XC Ultra on driver 436.48 running on Windows 1809. I had it set to present 6 frames previously (and using D3D11 for presentation) with no micro-stutter issues, but bumped it up to 8 to test just now on a large 4k source file. No issues either. For me at least, the combo of forcing Vertical sync to "On" and power to "Prefer maximum performance" has done the trick.

SamuriHL · 30th October 2019, 06:02

I wonder if nvidia fixed it at some point. In any case this is great news as it makes d3d11 useable again.

Well, that's the point of the OP, right? To "agree" whether HDR is passthrough correctly or not

I keep asking about this here, but to no avail unfortunately

For example, someone new at the 4K HDR topic wouldn't be able to notice

el Filou · 2nd November 2019, 15:00

People over at AVS Forum on the madVR tone mapping development thread have verified that with recent drivers (431.x and later at least), HDR passthrough is again working correctly on NVIDIA with correct metadata.
Sorry I can't find the exact post again, there's too many on that thread.

Edit: there it is: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/24-di...l#post58689662
It has also been confirmed on this very thread: https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php...&postcount=179
