NVIDIA GeForce 466.27 Driver Out

Quote

 

The drivers include the optimum experience for Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition, which adds additional ray-traced effects and NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 for greater performance and improved image quality. Additionally, this release also provides optimal support for Mass Effect Legendary Edition and Resident Evil Village, along with support for 5 new G-SYNC Compatible displays.

Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is optimized for the best gameplay on day-1. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums. For those that wonder, the DCH driver is a Microsoft DCH (Declarative Componentized Hardware supported apps) driver and refers to a new Windows 10 driver package preinstalled by OEMS implementing the Microsoft Universal Driver paradigm. While the base core component files remain the same, the way DCH drivers are packaged differs from previous Legacy (Standard) drivers. We recommend the normal driver and not DCH.

This new Game Ready Driver provides support for the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition, which adds additional ray-traced effects and NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 for greater performance and improved image quality. Additionally, this release also provides optimal support for Mass Effect Legendary Edition and Resident Evil Village, along with support for 5 new G-SYNC Compatible displays.

This driver updates the hash limiter for the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB and is required for product shipped starting mid-May.

I installed this and my house fell down, if I revert to the previous will NVIDIA rebuild my house?

I see. Does anybody know if this driver causes P3D to crash/not load like the previous 2 versions?

Thanks

[disregard -- 2 posts down in the list had my answer. i can haz reading ability?]

Just made a test flight with 466.27 driver + latest Windows update.

I had the best/smooth performance so far in EGLC London City area with Cessna 172 Skyhawk (G1000) ( high glass cockpit)

MSFS - Ultra settings at 1440p  with 50-70 fps. 

 

 

Tested and its working fantastic for me both in monitor and vr mode - smooth and stutter free! Finally I can let go of the good old trusty 457.30 driver. Running an i7 9700k @4.6ghz, rtx 3090, 32gigs of RAM and a Reverb G2.

Obrigado

[desconsiderar - 2 postagens abaixo na lista tiveram minha resposta. eu posso ler a habilidade?]

Works ok with P3V5. I made domestic flight PMDG without problems ctd. Others previous to the V5 remain. Good flight.

My frames have doubled with this one.  Just kidding- will try tonight.

What is the frequency of your CPU? I don't see a very high load on my GPU, but the CPU core that runs the Flight Sim thread maxes out well before 70 frames.

I think the short answer to this is "no" LOL  This is why they invented expensive insurance.

Why not take your computer outside (after the rebuild of course) Umbrellas are cheaper than insurance.

By the way, I loved your comment LOL

I enabled Adaptive boost with multicore enhancement  ( no limits) with avx offset of   5.1ghz  all cores  -  5.3hz ( Single core boost). 

In London City i had high load on 3090 ( 60% to 99%) while 11900  single core was between 70 to 90%.

Same here. Best VR driver since 457.3

I usually have very low expectations for driver upgrades (more often than not fully and wearily / disappointingly realized). 

But, yes, there's a significant improvement with this driver upgrade for my 1080ti.

Might this be the Driver that I finally move on from trusty ole' 457.30?

I shall watch this space with interest.

I strongly suggest to use the latest Nvidia drivers due security issues. 

certainly didn't make fs2020 any less smooth ... and keep all settings on default on nvidia control panel by the way
