NVIDIA Geforce Gamescom Game Ready Driver - 436.02

Unfortunately I don't have resolution options to choose from on my actual TV and setting it to PC mode didnt do any good. Weird and annoying
This guy show performance with Rtx 2080 (old driver) and Rtx 2070 S (old driver vs. new driver).
In the first video, "RTX 2080 vs RTX 2070 S" frame rate is about 100 fps (old driver).
Settings Ultra+High: MSAA (8X) and FXAA (on)
In the second video, "RTX 2070 S (with old driver) vs RTX 2070 S (with new driver)" frame rate is more than 119 fps.
Settings Ultra+High: MSAA (2X) and FXAA (off)

I don't know if some people had this issues before but I noticed some graphical bugs for two games specificalt ... Like literally flashing color of lights ... it does it in GTA V and REMNANT FROM ASHES. All other games are good and I even did benchmarks like fur marks and other stress test. No issues or graphical bugs for those and even other games.
I only see it in the sky though for gta v specifically and on the menu for Remnant and when I look at puddles of water in the game... there's like a bright flashy bug
I have an EVGA RTX 2070.

I'm actually really liking the sharpening filter! Makes Skyrim SE look less blurry (just need to figure out why it's locked at 57 fps now).
I wasn't expecting both the sharpening and low latency modes to work on the old 1060 I got, but it was a pleasant surprise after switching from a RX 470. However, some of my games don't want to launch or hang on startup now, unfortunately.

I am curious, as someone who has dual monitors, one is a 1440p G-Sync monitor using DP and the other is a 1080p HDMI monitor, why does it, whenever I updated my drivers, that it fully disables the 1440p monitor until I reboot?
I was going to finally install the new driver, but when I googled to get the driver page I saw a news article that says the new driver is causing frame rate dips and stutters in games?
Holy hell, definitely need to grab this. If only my controller wasn't out of commission...God DAMN the FH4 improvements are real.

i concur. It's heartening to see skepticism of corporate motives but nVidia is innocent this time.
I just read this and while I don't understand it on a technical level I understand the gist of it. That said, I'm curious now, independent from variable Integer Scaling, is there anything that prevents a Pascal or earlier card to display a 1080p image on a 4k display with nearest neighbor without any filters so it ends up 2x2 for each pixel?
Finally got around to trying this (or wanting to), and I'm experiencing the same thing. Setting defaults back to Aspect Ratio when I hit apply. Disconnected my primary monitor and issue persists. (LG OLED C6)
Fucking ay.
Man, a bunch of games started crashing for me with the integer scaling driver. Witcher 3 and Nex Machina, for example. They're fine with the driver before that.
2080 Ti
In other news, I'd also love to have a nearest neighbor scaling option. It wouldn't be as flawless as integer scaling but it would still be better than the blurry nonsense we have now when we force games into fullscreen
(I have a 1440p monitor so running old 1024x768 games with integer scaling results in massive black bars, basically identical to the no scaling option. Nearest neighbor would be a nice compromise)

You get integer increments of resolution without any filtering with integer scaling. So, for example, a 320x240 game will be scaled to 640x480, 1280x960, 2560x1920, etc. with each pixel of the original resolution being shown as 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, etc. without any smoothing in place. The most modern application of such scaling is outputting a 1080p resolution onto a 4K display which is exactly 2x2 scaling.
Before you get your resolution scaled to monitor resolution (with or without aspect ratio compensation) which pretty much always require multiplying the original resolution by some number with a fractional component, like 4.27 or something. This leads to the need to filter this stretched image as it will exhibit scaling artifacts otherwise but this filtering will always blur the image.
Thanks, I understand a bit about filtering and scaling but how does this play in nvidia's driver?
Imagine I would play Hotline Miami right now at 1080p for example, and I didn't have integer scaling...does this mean I've always played it with linear filtering?
Or does that only apply to 4K? (but why would the filtering even be needed, isn't the software/game engine deciding that?)
A lot of recent games (especially 2D ones) will have an option in the game itself that will output an nearest-neighbour-scaled image at whatever resolution you specify. The Nvidia setting is for games that only output at lower resolutions.
The description is in the driver:

Modern pixel art games can be tricky as they tend not to actually render in the resolution which their art is in. They also have scaling routines in their engines already so they scale and stretch on their own when you specify the target output resolution. But if some game (I don't know about Hotline Miami specifically) do have some fixed low number rendering resolution then you can use it in such game's settings and driver's integer scaler to output this game to you monitor without any filtering. In most cases with older games this will lead to black borders though.
This applies to any resolution which is less or even to a half of your display resolution in both dimensions. Game's engine can do it's own thing but if you're outputting to a resolution which can be scaled up in integers by the driver - it will be scaled up.
I'm kinda sorta freaking out right now.
I just updated to the latest Nvidia driver: 436.30
It has broken everything. HDR doesn't work, and I'm getting disastrous performance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, 14-15 FPS. I've restarted multiple times, I've checked settings inside Nvidia Control Panel. What do I do? I've never had this happen before. Goddammit, I hate driver updates...

Anyone else had issues with Apex Legends with the latest Driver? I have been dealing with some serious stutter when playing Apex, even though the frame rate is staying above 100.
So far I've attempted to:
- Uninstall and re-download Apex game files
- Move game files to SSD
- Re-installed Origin
- Used DDU to clear Driver and GeForce Experience, reinstalled Driver only
If I was to rollback to a previous driver, should I go the DDU route again?

The driver likely didn't install properly for whatever local reason.
You can always clean up with DDU (and without internet connection) and install it on a clean system.
I tried uninstalling the driver to install an older one and on the process it changed my driver type from Standard to DCH. I'm really confused.
Okay, did this. I'm back on the driver I was on prior to the update. Sadly, the HDR and framerate issues I was getting on the newest driver that prompted this mess persist even tho everything was perfect on this driver before the update...
EDIT: Fixed the HDR problem. It was my second display being plugged in. I have always had it plugged in and it has never caused a conflict, but now it is. So I just have to unplug it when playing HDR games that don't use Windows HDR.
