Display Driver Uninstaller

 

Downloaded, modded and getting ready to test this version. Lets hope it doesn't have the issues that 457.09 had with set games aka stuttering after vram leak.

Currently uploading the modded drivers for people whom upgraded their GT72's to pascal. Will test after for performance.


Edit: Driver is uploaded and tested now, Stutter issue in COD:MW (2019) has left the building.

So it seems to be better overall a slight 2fps uplift as well in that game but that can be margin of error due to the VRAM leaking issue.

 

I tried installing it earlier. Install went fine. I ran some 3Dmark benchmarks and kept getting a validation error - unapproved driver on my laptop.

Is this problem 3Dmark’s - meaning I’m safe to reinstall as the message was due to 3D mark not being ready for the release, or should I wait.

Not the first time I had to roll back to a previous driver I knew worked!

For you... https://benchmarks.ul.com/support/approved-drivers

 

I'm too scared.

 

Installed that bad boy coming from like a million years old driver because I am having driverphobia lately. Needed that one for Assassin's Creed Valhalla though, so far everything seems ok.

If any monkey business occurs, will report.

 

So it seems that the Pascal + high refresh rate screens issues is never going to be fixed

 

I have a 120hz screen and a pascal GPU, its not dropping to 60fps/60hz for me at least.

 

have you had the issue before in previous drivers or you never had the issue at all?

Could be a fluke but I expect Nvidia from now on will give some more love to the 3000 series cards? @Mr. Fox

 

Yes, they will soon begin their normal process of using driver cancer for castrating prior generation GPU to make newer look better and paying Futuremark to add new code to lower benchmarks on last-generation GPUs. That's just how they roll. They most likely have already begun working on that.

 

I was 456.xx on Win 10 1909. Had to revert to old 430.xx series to get rid off stutters on older games on 980M.
