Name: ASTRAL-RTX5090_V2.zip

Update:

1. Enhanced system and driver security.
   2.BIOS update for "Quiet Mode", for a more silent fan curve

I placed an order for a PNY 5080 on Friday from Nvidia Marketplace. The charge already posted to my credit card yesterday, but I still haven’t received any update beyond the original confirmation. And there’s nothing in my FedEx account.

Whats the normal processing time for Nvidia Marketplace orders? Should I be reaching out to customer service already?

Reminders:

• Hotfix driver will not be available in NVIDIA App and needs to be downloaded from the link above.
• After installing the Hotfix driver, NVIDIA App may show some old driver date. This is normal as Hotfix driver does not exist in NVIDIA App database and it reverted to an old default changelog and dates.
• If you do not care about the fixes listed, this Hotfix driver is no different vs WHQL 610.47 Driver.
• These fixes will be incorporated into the next WHQL driver release

From the Article:

GeForce Hotfix Display Driver version 610.82 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 610.74.
 
This hotfix addresses the following:

• [Halo: Campaign Evolved] Stability issues on GeForce RTX 50 series when using 610.xx drivers. [6259837]
• [Path of Exile 2] Fixed intermittent long pauses that could occur after extended gameplay sessions in DX12 mode [5090018]

A GeForce driver is an incredibly complex piece of software, We have an army of software engineers constantly adding features and fixing bugs. These changes are checked into the main driver branches, which are eventually run through a massive QA process and released.

Since we have so many changes being checked in, we usually try to align driver releases with significant game or product releases. This process has served us pretty well over the years but it has one significant weakness. Sometimes a change that is important to many users might end up sitting and waiting until we are able to release the driver.

The GeForce Hotfix driver is our way to trying to get some of these fixes out to you more quickly. These drivers are basically the same as the previous released version, with a small number of additional targeted fixes. The fixes that make it in are based in part on your feedback in the Driver Feedback threads and partly on how realistic it is for us to quickly address them. These fixes (and many more) will be incorporated into the next official driver release, at which time the Hotfix driver will be taken down.

To be sure, these Hotfix drivers are beta, optional and provided as-is. They are run through a much abbreviated QA process. The sole reason they exist is to get fixes out to you more quickly. The safest option is to wait for the next WHQL certified driver. But we know that many of you are willing to try these out. As a result, we only provide NVIDIA Hotfix drivers through our NVIDIA Customer Care support site.

I recently upgraded to an AM5 system. I’m now running a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 32GB (2x16GB) of DDR5 6000MHz RAM. The only component I carried over from my previous build was my RTX 4070.

A few friends have told me that upgrading to the RTX 50-series right now probably isn’t worth the price to performance, but I’m considering whether it would make sense to upgrade my GPU for better performance and future-proofing.

My goal is to move to 1440p. I don’t really see the point of going to 4K, especially because I mainly play competitive FPS games. I’m also planning to pick up a 500Hz 1440p OLED monitor, and I’m wondering whether my current GPU will be enough to properly take advantage of it.

My main questions are:

Is it worth upgrading my GPU from the RTX 4070?

Will my current system perform well on a 1440p 500Hz OLED panel, or will the GPU hold me back?

If I were to upgrade, what GPUs should I consider for the best balance of performance, value, and future-proofing?

So recently, I just bought a pre-built gaming pc today and I'm really excited to try some AAA games today. I bought the pc w/o thinking about the GPU bc I thought it's fine since it the 50 series and 8gb of VRam is good enough.

Until I saw most of these post saying that 8gb suck and 16gb of VRam is minimal.

Since I bought it recently, how long is this thing going to survive until I have to swap out for a new GPU. I'm planning to use my computer for gaming and coding since I'm about to start university at the end of this summer.

i was planning on upgrading from 8 bit + frc to a 10 bit monitor and would like others opinion if i should or not.
Also will the change help with a color banding issue that i have?

Hi all. im looking to upgrading my GPU soon and these two are the ones that catch my attention the most. in the UK (looking at lowest prices on EBay) the 4080 is about £100 more than the 4070Ti Super. I currently have a 3070Ti and i mostly play Flight Simulators and the 8gb of VRAM the 3070Ti has is starting to become a headache for me. Thanks in advance! :)

Have almost everything for his 16th birthday. Just need the biggies, a CPU and GPU. On fence with 5800X3D anniversary and 7800X3D knowing if I go that route I need new RAM and a new mobo for him. I will say this he almost ONLY plays older games like 2023 and prior, does not like newer games and he only does 1440. Was just kinda bummed out by the 5800X3D ann price, thought it should have been sub $300. I can get a new one for $330, but still....

I want a basic 5070, looking at a new PNY 5070 12 GB for $545 brand new but his birthday is not until October, should I wait or just get now. Not sure about these things and the market and if it will come down, stay say or go up in price
