I'm just checking differences between the "good old symptomless" 528.02 driver and the newest atm 546.33 drivers and I can witness the famous glowing/over-saturated/over-brighted effects on the desktop wallpaper already(!), which are considered some dumb 2d stationaire (and generally compressed) pictures, nothing more.

I was feeling myself strange since some days, similar to what I experienced with "bad" SW/HW before, but it was mild. Anyway sensible, so I just thought let's switch between them drivers a couple of times. Result: sell GPU and try something like an intel Arc. I don't want to try AMD anymore, as per the results I can read around.

Well, thats all I can tell, the other parts about my opinion about where this world is heading to, noone wants to hear about I'm pretty sure 🙁

So if you have nVidia, stick to 528.02, or sell it, because we have no chance against those "companies" out there 🙁

    tsb why sell the GPU if the older driver works? Btw which GPU?

      tsb What GPU in question?

      FWIW: With my Radeon Pro W5500 under Linux with the amdgpu driver I haven't noticed any issues.

          JTL wow wasn't aware of that wiki. Thanks!

          I bought the same capture card you mentioned in one of your posts so I can figure out some more hardware too!

              Its a 3080 10GB from the first series.

              For some newer games one need sometimes some new driver, because they complain and if started with an old driver, it may work, but may cause problems as well. I had this with CoD already.

              Well for some time I can surely live with this, but later things will probably stop working.

              Anyway I think I’ll give a try to some intel Arc, maybe keeping both Gpus for a while and lets see. Maybe I’ll just put both of them in the pc and hook them up to different displays. Then I just choose one ingame if possible, or if not, just disable one as device. Never did this, sounds like a plan.

                JTL thank you! My only concern is looking at the static like appearance of how the dithering looks on the lossless video. My eyes/brain is very sensitive. Is there anyway to have the SW result in pass or failed instead of manually checking the video feed for that flickery static appearance?

                    tsb ohhh that's right I forgot about some games relying on newer drivers. Hopefully the Intel GPU will be better

                      what monitor(model) do you use with the "good old symptomless" driver?
                      what settings: connection DP or HDMI ? 60Hz or more ? GSYNC? color profile ?
                      OS version?
                      Thanks.

                        jordan That's something I've wanted to explore but hasn't been implemented (yet). As a compromise you can exclusively use frame-by-frame mode which doesn't play it in realtime as a video, but it just displays discrete frames iterated over keypresses.
