Doesn't look like it fixes any issues that I have but can anyone tell me if there are any security vulnerabilities that are fixed in this release?

Nice, I buy a card from the 'best' GPU company in the world and I can't even upgrade the drivers from the launch drivers to play a 2018 game.

They need to release a driver that fixes their pricing issue.

Good luck with that.

Forza Horizon 4 is still broken. Jezz...

Sitting comfortably at 80% market share, completely guaranteed that most of the customers have access only to their products, with a sleeping competition which doesn't present any threat, highly doubtful.
It is wonder how people pay and then cry because they paid... :rolleyes:

Don't worry, our filthy 30 series "mainstream gamer's GPU with classic DLSS 2" are soon poised for forced retirement, that way, those who aren't poor and unworthy and bought the RTX 4090 will have proper driver support. Any day now!

That's a cool/cryptic open issue you got there...

Is rtx 4070 ti any faster with this driver?

Faster? No time for that to happen yet. This is the first public release driver which can support it.

I meant the reviewers used a beta driver in their reviews

I update the driver only if the optimized driver of the game I will play comes out.

Press drivers are usually 99.9% the same as the first-release driver. At least the AMD ones that I have used in the past were

Ada is new. It will see a lot of code optimization in the future, still.

It should be a very easy game for my card, Horizon 4.
I did a fresh install and when I tried to play it kept freezing after about 10 minutes.
I tried the latest(527.56) and the previous drivers(527.37), same problem.

I used the Oct 12th driver(522.25) and can finally play without problems.

We need a 10-year warranty with these price increases. No exceptions.

I had it installed before.

Updated because in the changelog they said they have it fixed.

Back to 522.
