Nvidia 398.82 , first DX12 WoW driver.

[potis]

Whelp bad title, just bug fixes for DX12? Either way!

The driver is mostly for WoW, a friend said he saw an improvement, lets see what others are reporting please, post specs and if there is any difference please, wont be at home for a few hours. :/

Edit: Now that i am home.

Still losing FPS with DX12 over 11 , averagely at my testing place ~330 vs ~360.

Was the same with older driver too, averagely 10% less with 6700K@4.4Ghz and 970.

what is different in WoW between 11 and 12?

[Almaric]

Pretty much nuffin atm

[MrPaladinGuy]

Ah, there's the Monster Hunter: World driver I was expecting.

Let's see if performance improves.

I didn't have any major issues before, but since the new driver it does seem better, im most constantly at 144fps even during dungeon combat with spell effects. Dx12, all sliders at 10 and other settings high/ultra. Capped at 144fps to match my monitor refresh.

Are you on a 1080p Monitor?

Im on a 1440p 144hz screen and and seem to still be getting better performance with DX 11. DK 12 is giving me some werd jerky crap when turning. On the Intel rig in my sig.

10-15 fps loss using dx12 drivers with gtx1070 same settings over dx11 counterpart.
I guess nvidia releasing these cards without proper dx12 support and no hardware async compute caught upto them(hence better performance on AMD cards which have it)

[acphydro]

I’ll be happy if it makes adaptive sync start working again on my 1070Ti and regular 1070.

[Ayirasi]

Peaks and lows are similar, but averages are up 5 ~ 10 FPS with DX12 on a GTX 1050 (4GB).

[pansertjald]

I lose about 10-20 fps going dx12 on my gtx 1080. Looks like Nvidia and Blizz still has alot of work to do on the drivers

ALLWAYS remember to set the fps max counter to 2-3 fps lower then the screens max or else you will get input lag. 144Hz = 142/141 limit

You might not see it in WOW, but you will see it in FPS and other fast pace games

I wasn't aware it was a DX12 driver update for WoW. All they did was update the SLI profile because of the changes to WoW 8.0 changes of losing full screen.

Soz for the delay - yes, 1080p. It's the ROG Swift PG248Q. I've no need for 1440p currently (only use a 1060 atm) so it looks lovely

Interesting, thanks for that. I don't play fast paced shooter type games as they give me a headache after 5 minutes! Haven't noticed any input lag setting it to 144fps in WoW, but will keep an eye out!

There is already a hotfix driver out for this one https://www.guru3d.com/files-details...-download.html

lmao that aint true at all, you have 0 clue what you're talking about. You always want maximum fps to reduce input lag.

[Ledox]

Problem is GPU usage... Not about DX11 or DX12. Blizzard still failing on optimization thats all... My GPU usage %50~ while i'm using OCed 7700K its not acceptable.

feel free to come up with a magical solution for the draw call bottleneck if you think they aren't working hard enough on it.

There is no solution for bottleneck. Totally optimization problem. Tried so many variation for that but problem still exist.

I removed this driver immediatly and went back to .36 , this .82 is one bad driver for Wow.
