What's the current best nVidia driver for VR, ideally Oculus?

VR andysonofbob · Dec 28, 2020

I am currently running 452.06
Most recent driver is 460.89 so I was wondering if it is time for me to update especially as the Q2 Link is out of Beta now and nVidia might have tweaked it.
I have read someone has issues with the most current one so don't really want to go for that one. Which drivers are people currently rocking?
Thanks!

Every time new drivers are released, I update them. The most recent ones are now installed. There are no problems with VR mode. Oculus Rift S Helmet.

I also generally keep everything up to date. I am running OQ2 with link.

Awesome!
Thank you very much

I asked the same question on the oculus forum. They said for people like me, with non-RTX cards, drivers after 456.38 have been known to cause stutter. yrmv etc.

That at least is newer than the one I am currently using!

There is a new setting for vsync called FAST this needs setting or you get micro stutters. However it’s not on all games and I have not set it for Elite.

Please be very careful about your driver level if you are using an nvidia 3080 or 3090. Some of the card failures that are occurring, particularly black screen, fans to 100% card lockup maybe driver related. Some AIB's are more effected than others.

I heard 456.38, the first driver for the 30 series, was the last driver before stutters on the 10 series and I installed it a couple of days ago and it seems fine to me.

I had the same problem with a 2070S but after disabling G-SYNC it works great, maybe this is your problem too?

If that was for me. Hard to test at the moment as my 3090 failed and has been RMA'ed.
