NVIDIA today released the latest version of its GeForce Game Ready drivers. Version 461.92 WHQL officially introduces NVIDIA Reflex support for "Overwatch." The technology is designed to significantly reduce input lag and whole system latency, which should improve competitive gameplay as your mouse inputs get registered quicker with the game, making your hits accurate. The table below shows the impact of Reflex on whole system latency with "Overwatch."

A number of issues were also fixed with GeForce 461.92. Some desktop applications flickering or stuttering when resizing the window on certain PC configurations; have been fixed. A random flickering noticed on top of the monitor on PCs with GeForce GTX 1660 Super, has been fixed. Pixellated black dots or artifacts noticed on the character model in "Red Dead Redemption 2" with the Vulkan renderer, has been fixed. Also improved are game loading times with "Rocket League." The drivers optimize the shader cache with "Fortnite" to reduce intermittent stutter on certain PCs. An annoying bug with GeForce Experience in-game overlay launching when Zoom meetings start, has been fixed. Lastly, a BSOD when connecting to certain Samsung 8K TVs has been fixed. Grab the driver from the link below.

I'm still on 461.09 (Dec 31 2020) , not having this issue so I think I'll pass again...
 
This is like the 3rd driver from nVidia this year, how come the latest driver from AMD dates from November?
 
[World of Warcraft: Shadowlands]: Random flicker may occur in certain locations in the game [3206341]

Still running 457.51 until they fix this, no statement from either side on it and makes the game almost unplayable in certain areas when all the trees, skybox and fog effects are flickering constantly!

One of those drivers was a release to support the RTX 3060.
 
How can you tell it's enabled/working in Overwatch without having a new screen?
I couldn't tell a difference.

I have the same issue. Still on 457.71
shadows and texture flicker. Nvidia is the problem for not fixing this, DX12 is worse than using DX11
WoW devs cant even fix on their end as they have same issues.

Increase the render resolution in-game or use DSR so that you get a much lower framerate (~100fps) then test with Reflex on vs off, you can't really tell the difference when the game is running at 200fps.
Try to look left and right real quick and see how the game response to your inputs.

I don't even know where/how to enable Reflex...
 
I'm getting weird flickers and "mini" instances of my screen when I scroll and move my mouse around in YouTube, and some other sites with Firefox lately. Happens regardless of my GPU memory OC.

I was looking into these since I haven't updated in some time now, but I guess I will still have to wait.
Still using sing 457.63 and there're no issues that I have noticed in Shadowlands

I was getting that too but it stopped after installing driver 461.09 ***and*** the latest Windows 10 patch Tuesday updates. Not sure what did the trick, probably a combination of both.

nVidia drivers are getting so bad lately (not to mention Windows 10 updates) that I am beginning to have the 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it' mentality, so for now I will stick with 461.09. Whomever decided that RAD on OSs and drivers was a good idea deserves a special place in Hell. lol

At least now I know my VRAM isn't dying lol
 
My issue has vanished from the tracked/open issues without a real fix... noice.
 
In the article, where it lists Windows 10 issues, are those also fixed issues or still ongoing? Because i see low fps on Supreme Commander is listed. And i tried playing that game last week. Was wondering why is fps so low on my PC.

Please enter "about:support" in the URL bar and search for "Compositing" on that page. Does it say "WebRender"?
If yes then it's this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1693973
Sadly, Mozilla doesn't seem too concerned to fix this.
 
For some reason I cant toggle DLSS in Shadow of Tomb Raider or in Metro Exodus anymore. Anyone have a similar issue?
