NVIDIA Releases GeForce 461.09 WHQL Drivers

btarunr · Jan 7, 2021

NVIDIA today released GeForce 461.09 WHQL drivers. The drivers do not appear to include any day-one game optimization, but features an important security update, and a handful fixes. With this release NVIDIA also identified an interesting issue to fix in a future driver update. Apparently, GPUs based on the "Turing" and "Ampere" graphics architectures exhibit increased idle power consumption on machines with certain higher refresh-rate G-SYNC monitors.

Among the fixes with GeForce 461.09 WHQL are a bug that caused an FPS counter to appear on Windows Mail and Calendar apps; a BSOD noticed on GeForce GTX 750 Ti; system freezing to solid color and screen-flickering noticed on the GTX 1080 Ti, improper HDR implementation when connected to certain LG OLED TV models; and a BSOD known to occur when waking up machines from sleep that have three 4K UHD monitors plugged in. Grab the drivers from the link below.

New Features

Added security updates for driver components. See NVIDIA Security bulletin 5142.

Fixed Issues

[GeForce Experience]: The FPS counter is activated and the overlay appears on Windows Mail and Calendar applications.[200682565]
[GeForce GTX 750 Ti]: Blue-screen crash (UNEXPECTED KERNEL MODE TRAP) may occur.
[3196164] [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti]: The desktop screen may flicker.
[3200599] [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti]: The system may freeze with the screen displaying as solid color.
[3203038] [HDR]: With HDR enabled, black levels are incorrect, notably on LG OLED TVs. [200682795/3201305]
[Notebook][Lenovo Y740]: The notebook displays corruption after waking from sleep.
[3178279] Blue-screen crash (0x116) may occur upon resuming from sleep mode when three 4k monitors are connected. [3054239/3195884]

Windows 10 Issues

[X4: Foundations][Vulkan]: The game may crash on GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs. [3220107]
[X4: Foundations][Vulkan]: HUD in the game is broken. [3169099]
[Batman Arkham Knight]: The game crashes when turbulence smoke is enabled. [3202250]
[Detroit: Become Human]: The game randomly crashes. [3203114]
[Steam VR game]: Stuttering and lagging occur upon launching a game. [3152190]
[G-SYNC][NVIDIA Ampere/Turing GPU architecture]: GPU power consumption may increase in idle mode on systems using certain higher refresh-rate G-SYNC monitors. [200667566]
[YouTube]: Video playback stutters while scrolling down the YouTube page. [3129705]
[Notebook]: Some Pascal-based notebooks w/ high refresh rate displays may randomly drop to 60Hz during gameplay. [3009452]
[G-Sync][Vulkan Apps]: Performance drop occurs when using G-SYNC and switching from full-screen mode to windowed mode using the in-game settings. [200681477] To workaround, either launch the game in windowed mode directly or disable G-SYNC.
[GeForce RTX 3070][Clone Mode]: When the resolution is set to 2560x1440 @ 144Hz, the performance state is stuck at maximum performance. [200678414]
[NVIDIA Turing or later][Windows Movies and TV Player]: When playing a 4k video in fullscreen mode on a 2560x1440 HDR monitor, the video extends beyond the edge of the screen. [3186830]

It's not showing on NVCleanstall

Edit: Fixed now thank you!

I'll download them now for my G-sync compatible 34" Alienware monitor and my 3090 FTW3.

[3203038] [HDR]: With HDR enabled, black levels are incorrect, notably on LG OLED TVs. [200682795/3201305]

So this was a driver issue after all? Didn't this get determined as a firmware issue after the latest update on the TVs themselves?

I'm disappointed that I can no longer check how many FPS of my GPU rendering animations and mail attachments. /s

Still didnt address the flickering issues with WoW that were introduced in the previous driver...

[3196164] [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti]: The desktop screen may flicker.

Ah I can finally update from 457.51 without losing my eyes when I go back to desktop !

You can use DX11 mode at the meantime, DX11 stopped the flickering for me.

ZoneDymo · Jan 7, 2021

ah they fixed detroit become human, though it only mentions crashing, wonder if the performance is also ok now

my_name_is_earl · Jan 7, 2021

I get a hard crash BSOD and my graphic driver completely wipe out. It turn out Black Ops: Cold War anticheat software is causing this hard crash. I thought it was Nvidia at first. Will download this just to see if it solve the slowdown problem when browsing.

Arrakis9 · Jan 7, 2021

just wanted to point out that US2 and US5 hosting servers are being throttled very hard... 20KB/s.... come on now :rolleyes:

Haile Selassie · Jan 7, 2021

I was going mad with screen flickering on 1080Ti, I honestly swapped monitor cable and started looking into getting a new GPU.

I posted in the TPU Site Issues thread regarding #5.
There's a problem today, Don't know reason?

It always takes a bit of time, because I have to download, unpack, parse and repack the new drivers, then push out the update.

Getting 160 Mbit from US2 to Germany, US5 is very slow indeed.

I was getting 1.1 MB/s (data cap reached) before 5:30AM AK time earlier.

I mixed them up and have edited my post since. US5 is slow, US2 is fine

It's both. Isn't that fun?

The TV has issues but the latest drivers made them way worse.

And I'm still skeptical to try this driver, nearly certain they still have not fixed displayport to HDMI 2.1 converters....

I was getting 20KB/s from US2 earlier in the day and 92KB/s from US5. the other servers saturated my connection when I tried those (250Mb/s)

The epeen is strong with this one.

nguyen · Jan 8, 2021

I have the RTX 3090 and this driver seems to help with CTDs, now I don't have to reduce the OC by 30mhz in CP2077 due to CTD.
High power consumption at idle is fixed too.

Vendor · Jan 10, 2021

the detroit become human crash issue was fixed in September update itself and now i wonder why it's reoccurring in this new driver? really weird, i mean how can you go back toi a months old problem which you already fixed
