April 28, 20251 yr The hotfix worked very well for MSFS 2024 with my MSI 5080, but unfortunately it still causes Monster Hunter Wilds to crash, so I rolled back to a driver a couple of months ago and no issues. Yes, annoying. Tomorrow I should receive my 5090. :) Hoping no issues and unsure which driver I'll install. Admittedly kinda nervous about it.

I ALWAYS upgrade my drivers (many years now) when new ones are available, and I rarely revert back to the previous one that worked well. You can always do that of course, so why not just try the new ones...test them. I've also ALWAYS hated when someone says, "If it ain't broke, don't break it!". If we followed that philosophy, we'd still be using a horse and buggy. I think it was Bill Gates who said, "If it ain't broke, BREAK IT!" That's truly the only way that PROGRESS really happens, isn't it? Stan
April 28, 20251 yr I take it all you guys on the older drivers aren't interested in the performance gains of DLSS4 available in the newer drivers?

April 29, 20251 yr I've been watching the Nvidia feedback threads on their forum and all the drivers since 50 series launch have been hot garbage. The release that needed two hotfixes so far had two weeks worth of comments on it (based on previous release discussions) in just 24 hours! I was one that normally used to update to every new driver without thinking, but just last year I had an issue also around this time of year with a driver that was causing screens to go black and force a hard restart of the system to fix. DDU and reinstall older driver was the only fix and was also well documented on their feedback threads. If Nvidia can't fix their driver issues it might be time to go team red after 15+ years of using Nvidia. Their big selling point was good drivers on top of usually better hardware, but if the drivers are junk then so is the hardware if you can't use it properly. Now I screen every new driver's feedback thread for obvious issues that aren't just related to someone with a weird use case or not knowing what they're doing before trying them.
