For those trying mGPU as well, here are my observations on the latest Nvidia drivers:
Observations:
Under these conditions -
Dual 4090 and dual 3090 Ti (two separate systems)
4k, 10 bit, HDMI 2.1, max Ray Tracing settings, no DLSS, no FG, no film grain, no vignette, no DoF, no motion blur, max all other settings, no resolution reduction
Basically maximum visuals without resolution reduction gimmicks.
This 572.70 driver in the series of 572 driver, is 4-9% performance drop compared to 571 driver and 3-5% drop compared to 566 series drivers.
Additionally, the 572 series has introduced a lot of stuttering, some “hang times” on loading, some aberrations in certain scenario that involve path tracing. I do not experience the black screen on the hdmi 2.1 4090 (x2) system, but I do experience it on the dual 3090 Ti system that uses DP 1.4 (120hz monitor)
I am surprised that the 571.96 driver is slightly better than the 566, and that the 57196 has not demonstrated so many of the issues of the 572
The 572.70 seems to have lower performance than the 572.24 hotfix but it can seem marginal when the performance drop is 1-2%.
As for the reports that this driver fixed the black screen issue, I find that is NOT the case on my DP 1.4 3090 Ti system, and the issue does manifest indeed, so NOT fixed.
All this is of course on the heels of many choices and issues on DLSS4 and FG, and the 5090 series push, but in my 4090 world where I don’t use DLSS and FG resolution reduction, I experience performance degradation in RAW performance on the 572 series.
My observations so far show that the ranking is:
This driver (572 series) also has video related anomalies, (the 530 series had black boxes/artifacts that would manifest on the 2d desktop, documented)
Respectfully
