NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 576.02 Driver Addresses Several RTX 50 GPU Issues Including Black screens, Crashes, Freezes & More

When I do this update, I plan to use the nvidia installer. Any suggestions on how to best use that.

It appears that it downloads the drivers directly. My question is, is there a way I can prevent Windows from updating the drivers? That is really one feature of windows that I truly hate. having to disable internet to prevent windows from installing when you want a fresh install.

I also plan to remove the nvidia app. The only useful feature it provides is DLSS swapping and that can be done with DLSS Swapper.

How are you not able to manually download the drivers from nVidia app? Im surprised windows updates anything outside of its own OS.

It's generally recommended to do fresh driver install using DDU every so often instead of just installing new drivers on top of the old ones over and over.

It's not necessary to do it after every new update but 6 months is a good rule of thumb.

How do you select presets Nvidia Inspector??



DLSS Swapper only changes the .dll but doesn't actually change the preset being used by the game.

That's what you want for your global settings, if you want it done per game then you just need to go to profiles at the top left, click the drop down and find the game you want to change settings on and then select the preset letter.

You don't need dlss swapper if you use inspector, right?
 
Hopefully force reflex is next unless this also enable reflex by default? Anyone know? I would love someone with professionally latency taste tool to check the input lag with smooth motion + reflect through specialk. I tried LSFG on a few fight games, guilty gear looks crazy, Fatal Fury 30fps background animation is much more tolerable with it.
 
R590 is about a year from now, we'll get R580 by the end of this month and R585 some time in winter probably.
It's anyone's guess if these will enable SM on 40 series or we'll have to wait for R590 (or even longer).

You can't force Reflex, it's an engine side code integration which communicates with the driver side function.
That being said NULL is pretty close and can be forced in almost everything aside from Vulkan titles.

Then how does specialK and RTSS get it to work?

can i get a link for the latest modified dlss inspector that actually has the DLSS options in it ? if I remember correctly the official doesn't

They don't.
If you mean the injection of Reflex markers then it's just the markers and not Reflex, they allow to measure the pipeline latency but don't influence it.
The best an external app can do is to engage NULL which is a driver side feature which can be enabled in the driver. But that's not Reflex.

The official does as of Feb this year, no need to use any fork.

I'm still having the black screen issue :messenger_downcast_sweat:


Dudes... on the offchance that you have not, I was able to resolve this issue by updating to the latest BIOS version direct from the motherboard manufacturer's site (in my case, Asus). They realeased an update just a few weeks ago which completely resolved whatever was causing my Nvidia black screens. Haven't had one since that flash.

Hmm, what mobo and bios version are you on?
I still think it's nvidia's drivers but just in case...

edit: I see that a new bios for my mobo (asus crosshair x870e hero) just came out yesterday so I just updated to it. Hopefully it helps!
