Geforce drivers 358.50 warning...

[Jon flint]

Edit* seems to have been a false alarm judging by the number of people reporting no issues whatsoever. Must just be some issue specific to my system.... Sorry all

I would strongly advise people with gtx970 and gtx980 cards not to use these drivers with ED.

They seem to totally remove the option for the DSR resolution of 2715x1527 @60Hz which was the previously recommended setting by nvidia.

Instead they locked me to using a lower 1440p res and locked me to 30hz!!

I think because these drivers coincided with the release of 1.4 and automatically changed my game resolution. My perception of the SMAA not working in game may have been at least patrly based on the fact the game was now running at a lowered res.

I would advise rolling back to the previous version 355.98 I think.

 

[Zorronov]

They work fine for me. Didn't change a thing.

Thx for the heads up CMDR...as a rule of thumb I don't install driver updates until a few weeks after they are posted


So folks like you can deal with the problems first

SMAA is definitely not working, nothing to do with drivers. The devs replied to my bug report. 358.50 works fine on my 980, everything's silky smooth except the known VR Supercruise stutter and lack of SMAA.

I'm using FXAA and cranking up super sampling to compensate

May I ask what resolution you were/are running? And can you still see and select the 2715x1527 resolution in game (with dsr).

If you can then it might be an issue specific to my setup and nobody else need worry.

I have to say I had wondered why the game felt so strange. It makes sense now I know I was playing at 30fps!

FYI - I see 2715 x 1527 - max DSR is 3325 x 1871

Did you perform a clean driver install?

 

[Jon flint]

Yep, was a clean install. Must be something specific to me then, my apologies to all for the false alarm.

After rollback I get the 2715x1527 option back along with my 60hz setting.

Could be any combination of factors I guess. I'm on a slightly OC'd gtx970 and running win10.

 

[Cajuncontroller]

I've got dual 970gtx's in sli mode with zero issues, using Windows 10, max resolution on my monitor and ultra in the game (3840x2160)60hz.

 

[Cmdr. Numa]

I'm using (and keeping) 356.04, but I've read elsewhere that the new set is indeed very problematic in several games. Regarding DSR, I'm locked out from that anyway. Nvidia haven't managed to get that to work with SLI and Gsync in months now.

Yep...that's the one.

just go to nvidia control panel 3d settings and reactivate DSR , its defaulted as off
