AMD, Intel and Nvidia driver issues and last recommended version

[SamuriHL]

Yea I hadn't updated in a while either for the obvious reasons. I suppose it's entirely possible that WU broke the driver install. It was bad though. Freaked me right out. LOL Downgraded back to my normal driver and all is well so no big deal I guess. Just apparently no one else has run into it.

I haven't watched anything HDR in a while, but as you know, I've been using the latest drivers. No issues here other than the now well known one mentioned in the first post. What did you notice wrong with SDR? How did you figure HDR wasn't being output in the correct color space?

Does 442.74 passthrough meta data oK? I don't notice that mentioned on the first page anymore.

[VBB]

Yes, meta data has been passed through properly for a long time now.

[SamuriHL]

Yes 442.74 is the driver I'm sticking with until they fix the stupid issues introduced in the later drivers. It works perfectly for me.

Hello SamuriHL

But which would be those issues - for example, tested 446.14 myself for a few movies / TV Shows, 4K HDR ones, no issues whatsoever

Bugs in colorspace, you mean?

Thanks for your input

[SamuriHL]

The issues that have been reported about if you're outputting 10 bit or higher, it'll pull you out of HDR if you bring up an overlay (like your player). It's just distracting. Not that I tend to bring up the overlay very often when I'm watching a movie, but, I have no reason to upgrade that machine unless I have a driver with no compromises to go to. For others, especially those using 8 bit output, it's a non-issue.

I am running 442.92 Studio drivers and it seems as good as 442.74

[SamuriHL]

Maybe I'll give those a try.

So with the 442.74, outputting 10-bit FSW stays when bringing up overlay ? I'm using the very old 385.28 for sticking to 10-bit in all modes but when overlay (seek bar, madVR controls...)comes up it changes to 8-bit shortly.

[SamuriHL]

Yup works just fine.

Updated Windows 10 to v2004. Kept all drivers and software settings intact, but reset display resolution, gamut, and bit depth to Nvidia defaults. Haven't run into any issues, other than the ones associated with the latest Nvidia drivers (see 1st post in this thread).

[SamuriHL]

I've been running 2004 for a few weeks now and I'm using it with the latest studio driver with no issues.

Nvidia GeForce 451.48 WHQL WDDM 2.7 driver, new driver branch so will need testing.

Finally new features:

Supports DirectX 12 Ultimate
Supports Vulkan 1.2
Supports hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling.
Supports CUDA 11.0.

[SamuriHL]

Ah damn! I'll see if I can test those out tonight if no one gets to it first. Those look fun!

Be careful i ve lost "add run with graphic processor" to context menu. I still look for fix.

Microsoft's shit again https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...tail/a_id/5035

Nvidia GeForce 451.48 WHQL again the same issues I've seen with the last drivers... wrong colorspace when launching HDR with madVR ... to fix this, after launching the movie first time, in the same mpc-hc window , I click open file and pick the same movie file and it switches to NV HDR and to the correct colorspace.

[VBB]

@kostik Could you give us a little more detail? What color space does it launch in? What does it say instead of NV HDR when it first does this? Are you using 10-bit?

I am using 12bit RGB 24Hz. . . If you disable "send hdr metadeta to the display" in madVR settings and turn on HDR in windows display settings , play an HDR movie, you will see the exact phenomenon I get launching hdr movie first time with this driver (and some of other 45X drivers) .
It uses OS HDR. While the movie plays, if you open it again (file->open) , it switches to the right mode.

WEIRD ... 446.14 works fine, also the studio drivers work good. Maybe I will try the Studio version of this 451.48 driver but I guess its an issue with this branch and will have to wait for a fix

Is there difference between Studio Driver and Game Ready Driver, when the number is identical? I thought it's the same, but I was already mind blown by minor things
