NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Drivers 531.18 WHQL Released

Luke357 · Feb 28, 2023

Has anyone checked if videos in Google Photos are upscaled? This would be nice for stuff uploaded with "space saver". Photos uses the same player as YouTube so it should work but I won't be able to check for a while.

No Hogwarts Legacy game ready patch?

That's been out since the day the game came out, Nvidia just omitted it from the documentation (presumably to avoid the drama concerning the game's affiliation to J. K. Rowling).

Yup, just look it up on Nvidia Profile Inspector and you'll see the driver is profiled and aware of the game

[Steam version] Forza Horizon 4 may freeze after 15-30 minutes of gameplay [3866530]

Anyone cares to verify this?

Played for about 30 minutes..... and froze. Back to the Arc A750 :shadedshu:

Remember The Finals is being made by a studio founded by Patrick Soderlund, the EA executive who said "If you don't like it don't buy it" which damaged the Battlefield brand and was eventually "fired" by EA few months later. He also is confirmed by the founders of Slightly Mad Studios to have tried to destroy the studio after Shift 3 was cancelled(founders talked about this in a podcast years ago). He then knowing this before telling them had started to poach their best talent. Slightly Mad almost went bankrupt and closed down but at the last minute Bandai Namco saved them when they published Project Cars, sadly they eventually got bought out by Codemasters and in one of the most ironic moments in gaming history EA bought Codemasters a few years later!!!
Just want to give out facts before people give this guy any money.
Never forgive and never forget is my motto

This driver crashes Photoshop 2021. Also seen a report of 2020 crashing.

Going back to the previous driver.

Photoshop 2023 is confirmed to work fine.

Holy shit. This is like really freakin' cool.

I mean, it's nowhere near perfect but it at least makes it a lot more watchable.

Can't seem to get it working with the laptop, let's see if it works as easily on a regular desktop!

You'd need the browser set to use the dGPU and not the IGP

Now you just screen record it, and you have 4K upscaled copies!

Did you ever try madVR with MPC-HC for content like this? It was a game changer re-watching old shows for me in the past (especially with the abilities like setting the refresh rate to match the video frame rate when used with a TV)

Been recording my gameplay at 720p lately to keep NVENC filesize down, wonder how well it would upscale them.

Yes tried that but no bueno on any of the 5 browsers I experimented with, Chrome(dev & beta) nor FF(nightly or ESR) & not on Edge either.

Uh, my screen recording comments were a joke.

madVR can do just as good without maxing out the wattage of your GPU, and has been doing it for years.
