ATI and NVIDIA updates

Note for Coops and others

This driver may or may not not help rFactor2

Whether it does is immaterial for me. I COULD NOT CARE LESS !@!

It is nothing but a driver release and discussion thread.

So what ? I Should put up only drivers that 51% of racers say are better...............rely on peeps like you ?

Get a Life lol ;)
 
I wish there could be some kind of optimization to allow me to run 16x filtering in rF2 with AA at level 8 instead of 6, keeping my FPS at an acceptable level.

It won't make a massive difference but definitely helps to run 8xAF instead of 16xAF. i promise you that you won't be able to spot the difference :)
 
It makes a very distinguishable difference. It also does some damage on FPS.
 
Thanks for the driver link.
What's been going on around here?
I've been in Oklahoma for flight simulator tech training for the past two weeks.
Anything else new?
 
Geforce 361.43 WHQL

http://www.geforce.com/drivers


Gaming Technology
Support added for GameWorks VR 1.1 including VR SLI support for OpenGL
applications and support for the latest Oculus SDK.

Fermi GPUs
As of Windows 10 November Update, Fermi GPUs now use WDDM 2.0 in single GPU
configurations.
For multi-GPU configurations, WDDM usage is as follows:
 In non-SLI multi-GPU configurations, Fermi GPUs use WDDM 2.0. This includes
configurations where a Fermi GPU is used with Kepler or Maxwell GPUs.
 In SLI mode, Fermi GPUs still use WDDM 1.3.

How have the latest driver updates from nVidia been going? I've read a few things I didn't like, I'm holding off with my version from a bit over a month ago.

 
AFTERBURNER v4.20

http://gaming.msi.com/features/afterburner

Version 4.2.0

 Added AMD Fiji graphics processors family support

 Hardware abstraction layer architecture has been revamped to allow implementation of voltage control via direct access to
GPU on-die voltage controllers (e.g. AMD Fiji SMC) in addition to previously supported external voltage controllers connected to GPU via I2C
bus.

*** Please take a note that direct access to AMD SMC from multiple simultaneously running hardware monitoring applications can be unsafe and result in collisions, so similar to I2C access synchronization we introduce global namespace synchronization mutex “Access_ATI_SMC” as SMC access synchronization standard. Other developers are strongly suggested to use it during accessing AMD
GPU SMC in order to provide collision free hardware monitoring

 Added core voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON R9 Fury / Nano series cards with on-die SMC voltage controller

 Added unofficial overclocking support for PowerPlay7 capable graphics cards (AMD Tonga and newer graphics processors family).
Please take a note that unofficial overclocking mode with completely disabled PowerPlay is currently not supported for PowerPlay7
capable hardware

 Added version detection for AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition. Please take a note that new AMD Radeon Software versioning
scheme is not backward compatible so now Catalyst version can be reported improperly if you reinstall older versions of Catalyst
drivers on top of AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition without cleaning the registry up. Until the issue is addressed inside AMD
Radeon Software Crimson edition installer, MSI Afterburner is providing compatibility switch “LegacyDriverDetection” in the
configuration file allowing you to use legacy driver version detection mechanism if you’re rolling back to legacy Catalyst drivers after
AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition drivers

 GPU usage monitoring filtering algorithms, aimed to filter GPU usage monitoring artifacts in AMD ADL API on AMD Sea Islands GPU
family are now disabled by default. Filtering algorithms can still be enabled by power users via configuration file if necessary

 Added core, memory and auxiliary PEXVDD voltage control for custom design MSI GTX980Ti Lightning series graphics cards with
IR3595A+IR3567B voltage regulators

 Added memory and VRM temperature monitoring for custom design MSI GTX980Ti Lightning series graphics cards with NCT7511Y
thermal sensors

 Now SDK includes detailed documentation for third party hardware database format, allowing experienced users to add voltage
control support for custom design non-MSI graphics cards

 Temperature monitoring for AMD Family 10h – 16h micro architecture CPUs is no longer experimental. Now thermal monitoring on
such CPUs is unlocked by default

 Slightly altered VRAM usage monitoring implementation for AMD and Intel graphics cards. Now total resident bytes are being
displayed as VRAM usage instead of total committed bytes, and allocated blocks are no longer being rounded to 1MB boundary per
block when calculating a total value

 Improved skin engine. Added support for altered USF skins obfuscation scheme used in most recent versions of third party
overclocking tools

 Added Brazilian Portuguese localization

 RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v6.4.1D

I tried the latest one 361.75 last night hoping it might fix the BSOD dxgmms2.sys issue thats going around.
I dont know if it fixed that because with thsi one, my Nvidia Control Panel crashes on launch so cant even configure screens......

Maybe cause Windows 10 works perfectly for some people. I am no fan boy and I am very happy with my PC performance.

So in other words what I said does not apply to you. :)

Yes, functionality.

Thank you Prodigy

Your W10 works perfectly, goes without saying it must be functional.
