Potential bug here!
Anybody has a flickering on 2nd screen while playing a game on main screen ? It started with the new 2004 windows 10 update and new gforce drivers. Hard to say which one is causing it.
My money on the 2004 update
Same thing here, but I also sometimes get flickering on both monitors. This started happening recently.
My computer was shutting itself down and I was getting flickering randomly. I rolled back drivers to april and not a single problem anymore. I was worried my monitor and computer were crapping out for a while
“fixed stutter in some games”
YEAH, WHAT GAMES?.
Stop pulling console level bs and just write the list down. Don’t make me skim through the god damn digital manual for each hotfix, because ya’ll are too lazy to list them up front.
Only console patches go with ultra simplistic normie info. List the rest for us that actually care. I want to know if they’ve finally sorted out the freezing with Planetside 2.
The only fix that mentions stutter is labeled Forza.
Too afraid to download new Nvidia drivers. I was confused why graphic demanding games were shutting down my Asus gaming laptop lately… Rolled back drivers to April and now it doesn’t shut down at all. Rolling back the drivers was annoying as hell since windows didn’t want to accept my older drivers then eventually did. Was such a huge waste of time that now I don’t even want to test out any new drivers.
Well you’re not supposed to update laptop drivers from the nv site or gfe in the first place. Golden rule for notebooks is to update only from drivers located on your OEM site, specifically in your exact notebook model dedicated page. The problem here aren’t nv drivers.
Ummmm…. No! The very last graphic driver that came out for this was June 2019 on the Asus website which all It does is install Geforce Experience then self updates that way anyways. There is no special dedicated graphic driver. It just installs the same Nvidia drivers everybody else has. Many people have had issues with the latest drivers. It isn’t just me.
They finally fixed Forza 7??? Bought it years ago and could never play it thanks to the stuttering. Better late than never, but… IT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR 4 YEARS NVIDIA!!!
Where are all the incredibly loud Nvidia fans that keep blaming AMD drivers, etc…
Latest nvidia drivers have been so unreliable that no one is downloading it!
I’m downloading it, because the last one didn’t fix my issue with PS2.
Also, I wouldn’t run with a line like that, because 1. it shows your flag, and 2. It’s asking for another callout when AMD screws up again.
What? Shows my flag? I fckng hate Nvidia, but their fanboys are even worse! Shame on you for buying anything fron this SOB company.
Hypocrites!
See what I meant by the obvious flag?.
Mate, the intention was clear from the beginning, seems you have a hard time understanding the obvious. Should i give you more tips? LOL! Obvious flag as those who comment about AMD drivers have obvious flags since they aren’t here screaming out loud. Too slow?
Nah, I’m just making it obvious for everyone else that you’re the only one here, in a comments section for a driver hotfix, waving a red flag.
You know what needs to stop?, the petty console level warring with GPU’s.
It’d be great if you dropped yours, but I myself have no flag, but I’m going to read the future and predict you’ll say I have one, in order to suit your obvious narrative of hatred toward anyone that buys something you don’t like.
And you know what?, I know people don’t like that last part, because they don’t like being read like a book ahead of time, hence why they get even more aggressive and snarky, but hey, that’s what I want to do, because it makes the following sucker punch a lot more satisfying.
You have no flag? You are so Naive, you may consider yourself impartial as well, you just dont understand the human brain. That dialog is almost a philosophy class thst you missed or never had. Exposing the hipocrisy of the poor souls around here is an obligation to kill the fake narrative, just that. But you wouldnt understand it…
Well yeah, I go with whatever offers me what I want, and what I wanted was a high end card, and Nvidia delivered that to me, and I’ve been happy with it for 3 1/2 years now. Before that it was a 980ti and that also got me through decently.
Whenever AMD decides to give me a high end card for a good price, coming chock full of good stuff like GFE and GFN, as well as a version of DLSS 2.0, then I’ll buy one of their cards.
I’ve no such allegiance to anyone, only those who offer me what I want, not what you think I’d want.
“fake narrative”, look who’s talking all philosophical, and trying to make it as if he’s doing it for a righteous cause. There is none to be had here mate.
Ok, mate…
You don’t look at the whole i can’t fault you, or anyone, i have more free time than most people, just don’t stop looking to all sides, no matter how well or eloquent is your writing it will not grant you a better vision of the state of things.
But I do look at both sides, and both sides aren’t even remotely perfect at all. Same goes for the fanboy wars either, it’s getting to console levels of ludicrous.
Shat in the face.

I made a post further down talking about my problems with Nvidia drivers. Had to roll back to April and my computer works fine again. Too afraid to update since rolling back and installing old ones is a pain in the a*s.
Finally, someone reasonable, my only complaint is about how loud each part is about the same problems. You generally pay a lot more for Nvidia cards, but i rarely see anyone making out everywhere about the problems.
Most of the time, what i see is Nvidia people trashing AMD problems more than AMD users and not trashing Nvidia drivers with the same energy.
so they finally decided to fix the stuttering in games after 4 years lmao WOW kudos to them and finally admit its their drivers
Folks thats what happens when you don’t have competition!
i bet or just cut off completly the support for other older OS and focus at just one and make it perfect!
