NVIDIA Geforce Gamescom Game Ready Driver - 436.02
- Thread starter Mecha Meister
- Start date
Almost nothing to cover imo. Ultra low latebcy Mode was already in the driver by being able to Control the number of Pre-rendered frames, and, afaik that is what the Option does on AMD and now on NV. Not too interesting, just more casually named for the casual User.
The test on Guru3D doesn't show any (noticeable) improvement even on a 2080 Ti.
2080ti has been removed from my shopping cart.
2020 can't come soon enough.
Ask them why the fuck Integer Scaling is locked to Turing other than them being a set of greedy fuckers. Surely even my 980Ti can handle that?
Well played, dipshits.
Lol wut. Currently used scaling uses .000001% of gpu (since voodoo1) and integer is even less demanding.
The performance was already explained to me, didn't think it was bad in the first place though. Already explained I was a tad irrelevant being general about why Hardware. Regardless Nvidia is blowing smoke out of their ass.
Taken down because it was forcing people to install GeForce Experience.
I'm convinced that's intentional. No biggie, though. I just uninstalled it afterwards.
Sounds good but I'll let others test it first. Big updates are cool but more likely something has been broken.
Because it's garbage?
Their CP is terribly dated and since 2008 they haven't done jack shit to improve it.
Atleast Retroarch had Integer Scaling for ages already built-in.
Even the Ultra setting? They say in the docs just turning it on is equivalent to setting pre-rendered frames to 1, but that Ultra also submits the frame to the GPU at the last possible moment.
A complete make over that doesn't make it feel and look like something that's out of 2008.
AMD did it, and it's much better then what they had in the past.

In layman's terms, effectively it's a performance boost while being good enough. Retroarch has it so it shouldn't be an issue, but this would depend on the emulated system and whether or not it's coded into the emulator to be supported obviously.
Turing only for now, but I think there's a good enough chance it'll hit Pascal eventually.
Was referring to Integer Scaling, my mistake.

Garbage? Really? Get out of here with that stupid hyperbole. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and it blends into Windows just fine looking like Win32 application. Not everything needs to be overdesigned for style over substance.
Just downloaded the update. So, will this driver give me a boost on my 2080 for BF5 (w/ RTX) and Forza Hz 4 @1440p?
The only thing that seems to be Turing Exclusive is Integer Scaling.
Ah your right, misread/interpreted my bad going to fix it right now.
I don't care about the look, but the nvidia control panel always felt really sluggish to me
No problem, I initially thought the same because Nvidia's charts are very sparse on models.
And here I thought I'd be good with my GTX1080ti for another year but if looks like I'm being cornered in to getting a 2080. I have waited due to the ludicrous price and the fact I've only had my current card like 13 months.
Other than these new features, is it worth upgrading to a 2080 I wonder. Or maybe I should just wait for the next card line and skip over the 2080. Decisions, decisions...

Does any of this mean anything for the average 1080p60 gamer on, you know, normal GPUs or is it just a whole lot of nothingness as always?
If you're using XP, sure.
It's incredibly slow, looks laughably dated, and poorly organized. Coming from AMD's control panel it's absolutely archaic.
it is sluggish, and applying any changes always results in a random 1-5second hang for me(and has been that way across multiple generations of GPUs and windows installs). I've taken to using Nvidia Profile Inspector most of the time because it's just plain less painful to use than the NCP even for basic stuff.
As an owner of a 2080, I recommenced waiting for the 3000 rtx cards in 2020.
Cool thanks. Oh I didn't know they were next year ahhhh!! I guess I can wait another year. I'd love to have a new one for the Cyberpunk 2077 release the most
I am only assuming they're coming next year. I personally would wait and see how next gen consoles fair and then buy a new GPU maybe after those are announced?
If you're playing at 1080p, you're probably good to wait.
If you're playing higher than that...I mean, wait for the inevitable benchmarks of 1080Ti performance in Cyberpunk, Borderlands, Control, etc. and decide if what you see is good enough for you. If Cyberpunk is what you're looking to have a good experience in, waiting 6-10 months for Nvidia to release a new GPU won't help you, you know? You'll be done with Cyberpunk by then. Get what you need to run the games you want to play at the performance level you desire.
A bug that removed the option to deselect GeForce Experience.
It needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Going to game-specific settings takes ages.
