My laptop had finally notified me that W10 2004 was ready for install, but I delayed the restart. Now I check and it's in the "on the way" status. Microsoft be trolling.
Went ahead and installed 451.48 anyway.

Mine still isn't compatible. 3900x 2080ti system. No legacy hardware that I can think of. IDK.
Let me tell you, idk if it was the new drivers, wddm 2.7, or hardware-accelerated gpu scheduling, but this is the most buttery smooth gsync I have ever experienced. Apex Legends, if you play it you know is a very very stuttery game at the very beginning when people are jumping out of the ship. No longer. RDR 2 fps has drastically increased as well as become rock solid smooth using vulkan (didnt try dx12 yet). I played valorant, and I don't believe I had 1 dropped frame or stutter the entire time. I can't wait to test even more games, but my god, I am so thrilled that we've finally gotten smoothness back to Windows 1709 levels, or even surpassed it.
Still wasnt able to test it but from my experience I already had smooth frametimes until 1-2 months ago. I guess some windows updates or 2004 itself broke them.
Even in BF4 were the After Burner graph was basically a flat line without any spikes (not even small ones, just a flat line) started to have fluctating frametimes you only really noticed it on the graph in this specific game though.
Other games like Metro went really jittery.
But I though I went crazy because I had no hardware changes or so.
I hope this fixed it.

Someone posted that this driver boosts RDR 2 performance on pascal GPUS by over 10%. Might be worth checking out as thats a really bad game for most Nvidia GPUs.
I might do some benches then.
But 2009 is still not out for me :(
The driver alone adds the majority of the increase from what ive read. The HWS only adds 1-2% on top.
It may quite literally require some hw in the Gpu for it to work.m, not just a Software Support.
I'm seeing an enormous performance improvement in Yuzu and RPCS3. I haven't tested to see if it's just HAGS causing the improvement, or if it's some other aspect of the driver update, though. In any case, those emulators would normally be bottlenecked by the CPU, not the GPU, so I guess those are the situations where you'll see the most benefit.
In Mario Odyssey, some areas that previously ran at 35-40fps are getting 60fps. It's bonkers. I'm running on a laptop with an i5 7300HQ and a GTX 1060.

I also have this message. I think it's because I have Realtek hardware, and there's some major problem with this update and Realtek hardware. Or Broadcomm Bluetooth - one of those (and I have both).
I've enabled the GPU scheduling in Windows, but I doubt I'll notice any difference seeing as my 1660 Ti powers games decently enough most of the time.
Installed driver but I haven't gotten W10 v2004 yet.
I legit have not kept up on PC gaming the last few years so I have no idea what the implications of any of this is, this thread is the first indication that anything big is coming out of this to me lol

It's been a while since i last updated the drivers for my 2060 and turns out i'm eligible for the 2004 W10 update too.
Can't wait to test this out.

Maybe.
But personally i don't believe Nvidia after they artificially locked such a simple feature as integer scaling under turing cards.
I swear COD Warzone and BFV feel smoother for me. I should test PUBG and Cemu because those were always stuttery for me.
Played some Warzone after updating everything and it felt smoother. My frames also seemed to be a bit higher at times, though there are so many variables in the game that it's hard to measure. Guess there's a chance it could have been placebo but I honestly don't think it was.
Occasionally, I'll get a bug where the game becomes jittery after redeploying from the gulag and remains that way until the match is over. It seemed like I experienced that bug during a match, but it was as if there was a layer of smoothness over the jitteriness. It's a bit hard to explain.
I'm running a 9900k/2080 Ti FE.

I'm hoping we get benchmarks from somewhere reputable showing what if anything HAGS does for games. This seems like something that should benefit Nvidia cards with smaller pools of ram the most.
Don't worry, those of us that could potentially take advantage of it that are stuck in purgatory waiting for MS to work out whatever issues have been holding up the 2004 update for weeks are suffering right along with you.

did you have this before the new driver?
I know what you mean by jittery. it seems like the g ame is loading something and the cpu get stressed which causes the frametimes to fluctate --> jitter
I have this in Metro Exodus under DX12 but there its not the loading its just dependend on where I look at. Funnily enough it gets better when I enable V-Sync although I have V-Sync enabled in the Control Panel. ( is use G-Sync)
Can't update to Windows 2004, saying that it doesn't support my PC yet or whatever. So won't be able to use GPU scheduling.
Got pretty standard hardware, not sure why I can't update yet.
Any way to force the update?

I don't recall what the process is, but (if you haven't done so yet) you should probably check up on the open issues to make sure you don't bork your PC.
Does this bring anything new to existing GTX cards? Or is it only RTX cards that get new stuff?
I just received the update last night for my laptop's GTX 1650 MaxQ 4GB, but not sure if it means anything for my system or not.

Pascal/10XX also get the hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling.
And a slew of bugfixes.
Turns out this must be bullshit because after installing these drivers CEMU went back warning me I don't have the right drivers to support Vulkan 1.2 features.
Oh shit gotta give it a try I guess. Doubt it will make much of a difference for a 2080ti.
I did have the issue before the newest driver. I want to say it started to occur after the previous driver or latest game update It's pretty recent.
I'll just have to test it out with some games.
This past few days my HP Spectre x360 laptop got the new Windows 2004 update, a new system BIOS version, and now this Nvidia update.
Lots of new updates coming in this past week.

I've been running 450.12 with HAGS for a while now and now updated to this driver, no issues here with my GTX 1070 and a 144hz G-Sync and 60hz standard monitor. I don't have any hard data but from playing alone games like Battlefield V where I'm CPU-limited feel quite a bit better.
That's more or less the expected behavior with the new model, the high refresh-rate monitor is always given priority now. I rather like it that way, my games on my primary display should get all the attention, whatever I put on my 60hz monitior I always deem secondary and unimportant.

Keep in mind that Turin/20xx cards are the ones that will benefit from this. If this already improves performance across the board on Turing then it will be pretty exciting when games directly take advantage of these new features.
It is? Guess I'm turning it off then. If it's giving absolutely every to FF14, a directx 11 game then erm, that seems a little wasteful lol.
Wonder if I capped my frame rate on my gaming monitor to 120hz, it would save something for a video running on my second monitor. I'll have to have a tinker and see, if not it's being turned off for casual games.
