Anyone else getting freaky issues with Nvidia lately?

[Vayra86]

No. Like 3 months ago it was the inverted situation. Adaptive V-Sync didn't tear Youtube in Opera. But Fast V-Sync did. It's like a circus going in circles reporting same stupid problems to NVIDIA... I mean, if one feature subset has problems, how about telling your stupid QA team to check the entire feature against the reported bug? Is that really too much to expect from a competent professional team of people working on a piece of software? I mean I'm an outside QA member in some other company and even I know what's a systematic feature or issue testing. You poke the component step by step until you poke it in all possible ways. If someone tells me V-Sync is problematic in Opera when viewing Youtube, is it really so damn hard to fire up an image tear test in Youtube (there are plenty already there) and test every single mode and then tell the code monkeys to fix what you observed? Instead I, as an user ended up doing their god damn work and doing exactly this. And in the end they were still resisting with "uh oh, but you can't use image tearing tests". No, i'm suppose to look at normal videos for hours trying to spot tears when tear test shows you clearly in 5 seconds without fucking around. I don't know, it's like they employ idiots or something. I don't know.

You're really looking at this backwards. Opera is the one that needs to fix something here, not Nvidia. Regardless of whether you paid 16K for your Titan XPZQV or 30 bucks for your entry level HTPC card.

Hardware acceleration is a basic feature that works just fine in any browser for as long as I can remember - go figure

There is another option:

Except, NVIDIA did fix the shit in the end. Which gives me indication it was their fault and not Opera. Adaptive V-Sync tearing is still not fixed...

 

[Vya Domus]

Why exactly are you using Adaptive V-Sync globally though ? No wonder it screws up things like video playback in unusual ways , after all technically when you do that everything runs uncapped internally .

Can't you set Opera to use normal V-sync ?

 

[Edwired]

The tearing issue been going for awhile in the nvidia card. As im after getting the gskill 1066mhz 8gb ram kit and believe me i was back to the same stuttering crashing graphic card which tells me the motherboard uses it own ram timings than the actual ram timings so yea time to start poking the rams settings to get it stop crashing the graphic card. Gonna take awhile

And why wouldn't I ? It's a feature which worked just fine until NVIDIA just fucked it up at one point. And this is going few years back when I still had GTX 980. Why don't you ask them why they keep breaking their own shit? I don't have time to set every game on its own or keep on forcing normal V-Sync or none of it for Opera after every damn driver update (because I always do clean installs to be sure).

That's not what I am saying.

I'm referring to leaving everything whichever way you like but setting Opera to run with normal V-sync. I think Vayra showed you the same thing. Seems like a totally reasonable thing to do , I don't know why you would need Adaptive V-sync while watching videos.

Does it not work ?

Why don't you ask them why they keep breaking their own shit?

Well it seems that everyone is breaking their own shit because Opera always used to act up with tearing and HW acceleration , AMD or Nvidia.

 

[RejZoR]

Opera is essentially Chrome now. So, you're saying Google has their stuff broken? Also, yes, I've told you I don't want to set V-Sync for Opera every time I update the damn drivers when it worked fine few months ago.

 

[Vya Domus]

I don't want to set V-Sync for Opera every time I update the damn drivers

Well then, good luck with the mighty Nvidia sorting that out.

 

[RejZoR]

So much for "NVIDIA has superior software". Hint: It's really crappy. Like really really crappy.

 

[EarthDog]

Sorry its not working for ya Rej... but its pretty obvious they both have some software issues. Since this is affecting you, I can see why you feel that way, but... the reality is, for most, they both work fine. Also a reality is that all software has problems.

Cant you setup a hotkey to enable and disable vsync?

If you're having issues with one very specific application, and not with any other application, is it really NVIDIA's fault that that specific application isn't working correctly?

Everything I've read here is that it's an issue with Opera specifically, and there are work arounds for it which you are adamantly refusing to implement. If you won't take advice given here to fix you issue then I don't know how anyone will help you.

BTW, I have hardware very similar to yours in my computer, and I have absolutely no issues whatsoever in ANYTHING. Though I primarily use Firefox, and use Chrome when I need to troubleshoot an issue with FF (Usually something Java related).

 

[RCoon]

Last two NVIDIA drivers are giving me stutters and uneven framerates when nothing is at full usage. W10 forced the most updated one and yeah, it hasn't been a fun time.

This has been an issue for me for quite some time now. Running extremely old drivers. G-Sync 75Hz screen. Had to tell W10 updates to stop messing with my hardware drivers.

 

[Slizzo]

Be aware that the still is an issue with having two screens with different refresh rates, and running video content on the secondary 60Hz screen will cause stutters and lock primary screen to 60Hz while that video is playing on secondary screen. This IS a bug in the NVIDIA drivers that is yet to be fixed.

Not sure if this is what you're seeing @RCoon

I am using 388.31 drivers BTW.

How is inability to use DSR at 144Hz with 4K resolution an opera issue? How is broken DSR selection feature itself Opera related when you have to reboot a computer in order to enable this dumb crap? Yeah, must be Opera's fault even when same nonsense is seen across ALL Chrome based browsers. One would expect NVIDIA tests their garbage in worlds most used browser engine...

 

[Edwired]

Rejzor calm down we all on the same boat i had to force adaptive at the half refresh rate which is 30 fps on my games due to stuttering. Sure i have stuttering in firefox same way as games just set it at 60 fps causes tearing. Mostly i feel the rams timing is to blame as i have to manually set it at 1066mhz at 5-5-5-18 as im overclocking the motherboard and cpu as if i set it at 5-5-5-15 the whole computer locks up after 5mins along with tearing and stuttering. So i suppose you have to loosen the timings abit on your ram in order to regain stablitly

No man you're just a blind idiot sometimes that is constantly set on weird ideas and unable to think outside your own little box. Somehow I get the impression you just love to be that special snowflake that has that one specific bug no one else in the world cares about.

Its also all immediately a deal breaker for you. I remember something about 'can't set my G502 color to low brightness' when in fact you didn't even bother trying out more than two sliders (which have BOLD text above them that says they apply to specific effects, too) and the answer was right in front of you and super obvious.

Best advice I can give you: take off the blinders, and google the term 'Workaround' because its obviously not in your vocab ATM.

You've already been given a perfectly fine solution but prefer yapping on about how your specific use case is not bug free. News: nobody gives a shit, because its a non issue. You say you haven't the time to 'set specifics per application' but you do have time to fill page after page on forums and bug reports.

I'll say this: I have a lot of patience, but you drain it faster than anyone can. Food for thought...

 

[RejZoR]

So, because I expect a fucking 800€ product to work within its own fucking feature set, I'm a "snowflake" and someone with "weird ideas". Dude, I can't even... It's why they have such shit drivers, because you lot keep on saying "uh oh it's nothing" and defending their broken crap. Why would they bother improving if they are doing so "marvelously".

You're one step away from being on my ignore. If you still can't see obvious, you're a waste of my time altogether. Its gone past being funny by now. All you could muster is circling back to your 800 dollar purchase. Come on man.

 

[EarthDog]

There's a few who will take any opportunity to slander a brand. Some needles point are a bit left or right of center, while others are pegged to extremes. Its sad really, no forest through trees.

Because people usually understand money the most. If you pay 30€ for a graphic card, no one would give a flying duck with an F. But you certainly expect shit to work when you shell out almost 30x the money for one. It's about th same as expecting a dashboard in a Yugo that's not rattling. Or a one that's not rattling in a Rolls Royce. It's about that kind of comparison. And I'm circling back to it because it's the most annoying fact. I've gone through all the mentions of endless never fixed bugs with it and people like you just keep on finding excuses to defend NVIDIA. Because they can't be mistaken or some crap... And what's worst, half of this crap worked fine back in time. It's not something I just made up, it worked, they broke it and then never fixed it. How the hell is this MY fault? Or my fault for complaining over it? As for the ignore part, why would I care? Ignore me. Like, whatever. Is this like suppose to stop me taking a piss at lazy and incompetent NVIDIA? Lol?
