    nVIDIA Hotcake Fix Driver 418.85 coming in 3...2....1....

    Why? Because Mr. Manuel's team has 0 quality control, users do the testing for them. Win-win situation for nGreedia

    Wait...what? SLI still exists? I've given up on SLI 2 years ago. Great for synthetic benchmarks and bragging rights...huge waste of money for getting any actual performance benefit in games from it...that...and the micro stuttering...SLI...never again!

    @Ultra Male Please post your benchmark results. If you already have tested... Could you smell something weird?


    As usual... New is always better. @Falkentyne :eek:

    Very nice picture to misinterpret... Anyways Ultra Male will use his ultra Spear to kill the problem at the core.

    Are we seeing better Max-Q performance with the 2000 series now this driver is out?

    I was hoping they had a little left in the tank....

    As always... :)

    XtremeG released it with modded drivers [Performance + Tweaks] as always :)

    For Laptops:-
    https://www.reddit.com/r/XtremeG/comments/an9e6l/xg_41881_mobile_win10_x64/
    For Desktops:-
    https://www.reddit.com/r/XtremeG/comments/an9egt/xg_41881_desktop_win10_x64/

    Sooner or later I will release XG drivers [Lite & Debloated + Physx] today or tomorrow and will only be posted here... ;)
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/modded-nvidia-drivers-for-windows.826322/

    Enjoy ;) :cool:

    Ok here is what they do on every driver :) I got the list from there dead website http://tweakforce.com by using http://web.archive.org/ ;)
    XG drivers are tweaked to improve image quality and stability while performance may increase or decrease slightly depending on your system specs. A few XG registry tweaks include mods to the following:

    Paletted Textures In Video Memory
    Render Quality Flags
    Target Flush Count
    Texture Clamp Behavior
    Texture LOD Bias
    Use Cached PCI Mappings
    Texture Memory Space
    Downloaded Memory Space
    Texture Precache
    UMA Fast Frame Buffering
    Main 3D rendering
    Triple Buffering
    Any more information you want to know.. ask them.. :)
    Here's what I observed comparing between official ones vs XG...
    -Less microstutters
    -Higher OC Potential (Gives me additional 50 ~ 90 MHz more OC) with the same overvolt (I use +75mv) going higher voltage gives me black screen
    -Higher FPS [Not significant-(YMMV)] (due to less stuttering I guess you feel that you are playing at higher frame rate :D)
    -Less latency per a frame (Means smoothie gameplay) ;)

    I haven't checked these threads in a while. What's the difference between the XG mod and j95's mod?

    different tweaks ;) j95 focuses more on debloating and compatibility whereas XG is more about internal performance tweaks. best of both worlds are the debloated XG drivers offered by @6.|THE|1|BOSS|.9
