insider leaked nvidia drivers whql 450.12 branch, fresh of the press, for windows 20h2 but works with wddm 2.7 on 20h1 rtm. post your findings!

er557 · Jan 15, 2020

this is of course newer than the recent december 445.23 leaked driver which features wddm 2.7 and hardware accelerated gpu scheduling on 20h1. This driver is the next in line.
I uploaded to dropbox for you to avoid chinese or russian limited bandwidth sites.

Sorry but don't know if say thanks or say stop it. Personally I would NEVER download and install rogue files on my beloved computer.

er557 · Jan 15, 2020

you can of course scan the archive, my pc didnt detect anything and i have multiple anti malware solutions, smart screen, eset, etc. This is from a forum member elsewhere that uploaded his cab files. I usually have a feeling about rogue files.

When NVIDIA drivers that're WHQL validated give as many problems as they do, I think any cautious (wise?) PC/gaming enthusiast would do well to avoid leaked drivers lol

However! Thanks to @er557 for taking the time to upload the file to a Dropbox account rather than it being hosted on some strange site. :toast:

Edit due to dating myself with spelling.

these drivers were installed via microsoft update on build 19541, so it is safe to say they work fine. Not leaked , so to speak, rather then fetched from offical ms update servers for a future OS.

This driver is built against CUDA 11 SDK, but still does not tease any new GPU architecture

What's the point of this driver/thread? Is this a beta driver? What benefits does this have?

Personally, no thanks, and I will wait for WHQL or at least a beta at the NV site. This is scary.....

I agree, sketchy at best. They JUST released 442 hotfix, there's no way this is legit.

It could, be, but I'm not touching it with your PC and cucker touching the keys...

where's your sense of adventure/ enthusiasm to explore advanced software??? This is a completely LEGIT driver, WHQL(as they always have to be now due to restrictions), taken from MICROSOFT servers, released by nvidia for simply using with windows 10 version 20H2/ 20H1, and explore their features and new WDDM 2.7, that do not exist in current branch driver , wddm 2.6. Such as, hardware gpu scheduling, directx 12.1 tier features. If you dont use pre-release windows, then, sure, some features will not work. But the drivers are built with newer code nonetheless and the forums are full with people that they fixed things for them. check @ guru with their nv driver forum.
I am sorry I didnt explain all of this in the beggining of the OP, I simply already done that in the other thread, of previous set 445.23(also the de-facto driver for the now signed off windows 20H1 RTM.)
So I thought users might make their own reserach. I dont trust any punk on the interwebs, but I do trust chef koch from github that explains about the releases and links them.

None. I prefer a working system.

Thanks though for w/e these do.

Honestly... that's boring dude.

$ReaPeR$ · Jan 26, 2020

for an enthusiast forum, some of the opinions are hilarious. what's the point of being an "enthusiast" tech person if you are afraid of trying shit with your system/s.. no one is forcing you to install it, so if you don't like it you can move along but to use fear as an excuse.. boring at best. based on that logic.. why overclock? why install beta drivers? why push your system on any front? ..

ill give them a go, I like life on the razors edge its the only thrill I get at my age

Grabbed a copy to use with my benching stuff.
No real risk to me since all that is only for benching and doesn't connect to the web anyway.
