    Bro @Phoenix (+rep) I see yoo are ready for the barbeque party. When will you test it and post results? :oops:

    Nvidia GeForce 399.24 WHQL driver as released by NVIDIA. The drivers have optimizations for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout open beta, and Assetto Corsa Competizione early access .

    Fixed Issues
    • [3D games]: Game performance drops in half when moving from 16 core/32 thread CPU to 32 core/64 thread CPU.
    • NVIDIA graphics driver may not install correctly on certain Core 2 Duo/Quad systems.
    Known Issues
    • [GeForce GTX 1060]AV receiver switches to 2-channel stereo mode after 5 seconds of audio idle.
    • [Firefox]: Cursor shows brief corruption when hovering on certain links in Firefox.
    • Random DPC watchdog violation errors occur when using multiple GPUs on motherboards with PLX chips.
    • Using power monitoring in GPU monitor tools causes micro stutte

    As usual... New is always better:D

    Maybe this will improve driver installation on my M17x R1 + 680M lol

    Seriously wonder who is still using Core 2 based machines these days.

    It just goes to show the sheer disparity of hardware variances they need to support. It's a miracle at all that Windows and all the various 3rd party drivers work as well as they do.

    My understanding is that it can be done through drivers "if Nvidia wants to" but that would be software emulated because you won't have the dedicated compute units for that.

    @j95 I'm trying out new Dev release 399.28? Did you notice any issues?
    I feel latest intel driver solved Optimus stuttering issue on v1803.
