Confirmed rollback

What’s the difference between studio and “regular” drivers?

The Studio one is theoretically for content creators and the Game one for gamers.
As I work with Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, etc, I use the Studio dirver, as recommended
But honestly, I am not sure how much of a difference you would see in the sim. Maybe none.

Driver 461.92...hard to beat.  Works flawlessly.

Crash for me too. Fault module: nvwgf2umx.dll

466.11 works for me. I have P3D v4.5 and a RTX 2080 Super

I would wait for the next driver https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/448105/geforce-46611-grd-feedback-thread-released-41421/

Open Issues:
[World of Warcraft: Shadowlands]: Random flicker may occur in certain locations in the game [3206341]
[Batman Arkham Knight]: The game crashes when turbulence smoke is enabled. [3202250]
[Steam VR game]: Stuttering and lagging occur upon launching a game while any GPU hardware monitoring tool is running in the background. [3152190]
[Prepar3D]: The application crashes to desktop after launched. [3285067] -> Fixed in next driver
[YouTube]: Video playback stutters while scrolling down the YouTube page. [3129705]
[Notebook]: Some Pascal-based notebooks w/ high refresh rate displays may randomly drop to 60Hz during gameplay. [3009452]

The issue is with P3Dv5.

And that’s the answer. Next driver release it is!

456.71 works just fine for me (with P3Dv4.5HF2 and Assetto Corsa), so no update is required.

Let's wait to read:

- Smoothest driver ever...

- FPS increased for me...

- Solid driver...

- etc., etc....😆

If only it was like that. With all the performance improvement reports that come with every new driver release, we'd be running our sims stutter-free at 500 FPS by now. 😝

so no update is required

That may apply to 99,864% of the people updating their drivers when they are released. A conservative estimate.

The issue is with P3Dv5.

Quoting from Beau Hollis, LM employee: "We were able to isolate this problem to a specific function call in the D3D12 API that the latest driver doesn't seem to handle correctly. We modified a D3D12 SDK sample to produce the same crash seen in P3D v5 and we provided the sample code to Nvidia. It's likely this issue only impacts D3D12 renderers, which might explain why so few applications/games are experiencing this issue. We'll report back here when we have something new to share."

See https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=239382#p239382

Manuel, in the Nvidia forum reports the programmers are working on the P3D fix, but he would not say when the driver update solution may appear. So, we wait....

New driver works for me, except when trying to reload shaders while in sim..i.e. F5, which will cause  CTD. . Otherwise, I am noticing no performance differences....

So it works except when it crashes.  And it provides no benefits.  I'll pass
