Please remind me which Nvidia drivers are considered the most stable? I know they're from December 2024 but I can't remember the exact number and the "official" nvidia list of drivers on their website omits a ton of them.

Lots of official game devs recommend 566.36 as the last good driver from Nvidia. Nvidia is blaming game devs and game devs are blaming Nvidia. So it ends up never getting fixed.

Really love this attitude from the industry that nothing older than 5 years old needs to run properly on current hardware
i have a fun issue on my 4090 where whenever the display is turned off the card will no longer display. Rarely the graphics driver will restart if i fuck around with the mouse and keyboard but usually not. Good shit. This isn't even a recent driver thing either

Happens on my 4070 as well. If I turn my monitor off for whatever reason the card will refuse to send a display signal again until I restart the entire PC.

WTF? what went wrong with their drivers in the past 7 months? Nvidia used to pride themselves for having stable drivers yet shit like this is happening today
>>714766694
Maybe you shouldn't just assume everyone knows what they are talking about. I, like that other guy, use a nvidia card on Linux (actually I have 2 different nvidia cards) and there is no more wrong with the drivers than there is with nvidia drivers on Windows.

I never update my driver's and everything works fine . Even when new games come out and the new driver specifically patches that new game i don't update and the new game works.

Dune made me update to 576.88 and haven't had any issues so far.
actually haven't had any issues ever, so I've always wondered if is a hardware + shitty drivers combo issue.
I have a 4090 I bought on release.

On 4090 you don't even need the latest driver optimisation since they rarely give any boost for first world cards.
The perf. boosts are for thirdpoor xx70 and below
