Hi, downloaded the new Geforce driver 417.22 released on 3/12/18. I have noticed an improvement in VR. much clearer view.
As anyone else noticed or is it just me.
I was in ED last night and thought it was much clearer as well.
I had been reading Dr Kali's post about setting Steam VR to 100% and had done that as well as installing the Nvidia 417.22 driver. I thought that it was the altered Steam VR setting that was the improvement last night, but having seen your post I'm not sure whether it was the new driver or Steam setting that has done it.
A definite improvement whatever caused it, so I'll not complain.
Hmm... I thought it was my brain adapting or just my imagination (same thing?), but since the update i have noticed an improvement in overall quality of graphics. FYI: I'm using Dr Kai's tone maps and settings.
Downloaded some drivers a few days ago, was actually shocked at how well the performance increased, would normally have to run older drivers on the 1080TI, unfortunately Oculus was forcing me to move to newer rubbish drivers that caused stutters. The latest batch have been excellent, smooth as silk.
I had difficulties installing 417.22 coming from 398.xx. It would abort with an error message even though I used DDU. After some tinkering I got it to work with the help of this article:
I've been updating Nvidia drivers as they are released so hard to make a comparison, but my 2 cents - haven't had any problems with 417.22 either and certainly less stutter than couple drivers back.
Two sessions so far and certainly no problems, didn't expect any either.
Hard to place on the side of the driver but those last two sessions has been the smoothest ever.
That may have a bit more to do with that I'm finally starting to overclock my rig.
Started by adding another two sticks of ram, those caused boot issues when running the intended XMP profiles.
So have been manually clocking those up to form but I also knocked the cpu up to 4.8ghz.
I'm suspecting I would need to delid it to get much more and still remain stable.
It would still boot fine at 5ghz but when the cpu got really taxed it could trigger a bluescreen.
No VR here but a history of having to deal with Nvidia updates many times in the past. Often deleting the drivers then a clean install worked the best. Even then 397.31 didn't like me or ED so I reloaded 390.65 stored in my Nvidia folder.
Maybe it's my old dual GeForce GTX 680 cards (c2012) in SLI for pro audio/video production using Adobe which by the way still works totally awesome with Elite (but doesn't support SLI). I'm using two monitors doing 1920x1080 even watching ED livestreams on the second monitor while playing with no drops in performance. Meanwhile with a major update launching in less than 72 hours I'm busy in live getting ready for it.
So I'll read more posts on this thread then maybe go with 417.22 after resolving the first week issues with the update. Murphy's Law and the complexity of ED ensures that there will always be issues. Always have been before. But that's just me and I'll help out Frontier when I find them.

I personally skip most driver releases, only update when I read they do something like try or actually fixes a problem.
btw I just installed straight, I did not uninstall my old.
I figure this should work as intended and 9/10 it does.
If I do find issue I'll grab ddu etc.
Everything worked fine for me up to the last couple of drivers.
I’m not getting on/off flickering after 10 mins or so then the display goes blank on the rift and only shows on the tv. Only cure is to reboot and start the process all over again.
I’ve disabled all the power settings in device manager, enabled maximum performance in NV control panel for the executable etc.
Read this thread with a degree of scepticism as I dind't think there was much more to be got out of VR from the GPU drivers site. Anyway installed the new Nvidia drivers last night and jumped in Elite after the update. Definite improvement in clarity, don't know how they managed it but it looks even better now.
