Time for Kepler came already last October, Release 490 dropped it
Yeah, havent updated any drivers for the 680 machine for along time. Seems it doesnt really need it for the games that it runs anyway. Kinda use-less to say update for CP2077 when it has no chance of running it decently anyway.
Also 473.04 for Win7/8/8.1
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/186161/en-us
Software module versions match those of 472.98
Ok well, i doubt theres all that much improvements for current games for the Kepler series, anyway.
I can!
Have you ever played with those shader injector mods, like the ENB series stuff? Freestyle is NVIDIA's built-in shader injector. it has a lot of curious shaders it can inject into your game, depending on the tech involved. For example, Freestyle actually now has one of the actual ENB SSAO shaders (it's called something else, I posted it about it in another thread here) built in.
Geforce Experience has visually enhancing options you can enable in games. If you encounter flickering in a DX12 game it may be caused if you have a particular freestyle filter enabled.
If disabled and flickering disappears then the filter likely caused the issue in that particular game.
I haven't encountered this bug using the filters but good to know they have replicated and are working on a fix.
For me, the answer is "mostly a gimmick..." The majority of the Freestyle shaders are stuff like the filters on your cameraphone: Sepia-tone filter, black and white filter, make it look like an old 1950's TV filter, give it some execessive contrast or maybe give it very little contrast, also some sharpening filter thing, there's a few others but you get the idea.
In the newest driver, NVIDIA added a filter named SSRTGI (screen-space real time global illumination) which is, as I understand it, one of the actual ENB series "HDR" shaders. It's only available for certain games, and I did a little bit of testing in this thread: Nvidia DLSS antialiasing discussion *spawn* | Page 104 | Beyond3D Forum There's two back-to-back posts by me there, so you can gather my own feelings on the matter. I also talk about DLDSR in there, which is NVIDIA's new "AI-enhanced" downscaling / supersampling method.
The only Freestyle filter I have any care about is the SSRTGI, and honestly I'd only use it in a few places. Good news is, the driver remembers your preferences, so if you enable it once in a game, it will stay enabled the next time you start that game.
I think when used games like Skyrim the SSRTGI filter definitely makes a difference. I was quite impressed with the candlelight shadows in dungeons.
I hadn't tried it in Skyrim yet, however one of the places I did like it was Fallout 4.

I've been largely neglecting my PC updates, so please forgive this noob question that can likely be answered by a search...
Do these drivers still support the older 1070 models? It feels like forever since I bought that card, so wouldn't be surprised if it requires different legacy drivers instead.
