Whats the Deal with the 570 nvidia drivers ?

[Sydneyblue]

Is it safe to use ? Nvidia doesnt even have the 560 drivers anymore from there website. SInce i updated to the lastest i havent had any issues. If im being honest i think thats where my stability issues came from thanks nvidia lol

they are still there to see. search for your card it will show the newest. to see older click on see more versions to see older ones as i can see back to 560.81

Zero issues here, 572.83, I've retested 23 cards so far, 25 games + 10 RT + 2 PT, three resolutions.

Just Indiana Jones crashing on 8 GB VRAM, as expected, because Vulkan can't use main memory. and some cards crashing on PT 4K, as expected.

Zero issues here for lappy and desktop, though that said i dont play the latest titles... games like inzol..
god of war ragnarok runs well though the shader compilation takes a fair bit of time wish it could be faster

pcgh have user cries about instable nvidia drivers / main topic. I did not really bother checking details as I use a 7800xt.

My brother is having a issue of system becoming unresponsive after turning off the monitors by idling or nircmd, and requires a forced shutdown / reset to get out of. He is on a TUF 4070TiSuper, and two 27" 1440p monitors (one IPS of 165Hz, one QDOLED of 360Hz). He is using the latest 572.xx branch on Win11 with latest patches. He doesn't want to go back to 56x.xx because he has uses for the new and improved DLSS, but this also means that he can't turn off the QDOLED monitor by Windows, so that's a headache for him.
EDIT: minor typo

AFAIK he has no issues in games, namely Space Marine 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Starrail, and a barrage of online FPS games.

EDIT2: He has gone back to 566.xx and can double confirm the issue doesn’t occur on 566.xx .

Well I bought 5080 at launch and the drivers for it seem like are still in beta. VRR flicker issues, stutter when using DLSS FG and Vsync on, lower performance on newest drivers (lower than the first and second driver for 5080) even though it was supposedly fixed in the release notes. At least I don't have the black screen issues as many people do.
On Geforce forums there are a lot of people with issues on official driver threads.

I bought 7900XTX at launch and well the only issue I had was higher power consumption. Just goes to show that either company can have bad drivers.

572.70 caused the most issues for me. I didnt know i was on thi driver on my desktop i guess i forgot to upgrade. Assassins creed shadow was crashing on start up during memory screen and restarting my PC. I had a whole thread trying to figure out why my system was so unstable it turned out nvidia drivers were doing it.
