NVIDIA Releases GeForce 461.72 Game Ready Drivers
NVIDIA today released the latest version of GeForce drivers. Version 461.72 WHQL introduces support for the new GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, and adds optimization for "Outriders" demo. In addition DLSS support is added for "Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition" and "Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord." NVIDIA Reflex support is added for "Rainbow Six Siege." Among the issues fixed are stuttering noticed with "Hitman 2" and "Edge of Eternity" with G-SYNC enabled and in windowed mode; a performance drop noticed in Vulkan apps when switching between windowed and fullscreen modes with G-SYNC enabled; an application crash for "X4: Foundations" with Windows 10 1803; a legacy bug with Blu-ray playback flickering with HDMI display output; Chrome and Edge experiencing random TDR on "Ampere" graphics cards; and LG CX OLED TVs not being recognized as being G-SYNC capable.

NVIDIA confirms Resizable BAR support on AMD Zen3 and Intel 10th & 11th Gen Core series - VideoCardz.com

It's driver whitelisted to support the feature on games where there is no negative impact, but reportedly functions on all platforms as long as they offer a BIOS option. For right now, with the titles tested, there is essentially no difference in performance.
NVIDIA_DEV.2189 = “NVIDIA CMP 30HX”
These CMP appear to be some GTX 1650 w/o video ports …
The second one may be related to the shimmering I get in Unigine Superposition.
(Both Radeon and GeForce, IIRC)
Ngreedia make their cards only for miners! So this should be called "Miner Ready drivers"
I'd expect this kinda crap from AMD's GPU drivers but Not Nvidia, it's why I've stuck with nvidia, including the 30 series.
*groans*
Btw nVidia still haven't fixed the D3D initialize error that Diablo 3 gets when you start the game, you have to press retry to have it work.
Not even listed as a known issue.
Woah, woah....wait, what?! And WTF are we 1660 Super owners supposed to do to "fix" the problem should it occur?
Great, I just finished updating my drivers, too. Now my anxiety is all over the goddamn place.
It still worked anyway, but nice to be recognized.
