Is there a forum or list for the most recent stable Nvidia drivers?
like i just installed the latest 576.02, cuz i heard that the older driver 572.83 has major issue and game devs recommend against it,
only to find that this driver caused random freezes (you know this sound lag/freeze that happens just before a BSOD, same thing but without a BSOD),
talked on Legion series discord and they told me yeah that is a new issue, and there is a hotfix 576.15 that is only available to download through a dev support post,
and someone recommended to just download 566.36 (dec 2024 driver) and i did that, been stable since but like is there a forum or a list i can return to when i wanna upgrade to just download a stable driver from the start?
Did you sue DDU to remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode prior to installing the drivers? Try that out and see if installing 566.36 after your DDU run helps.
Speaking of drivers, we'll need more context, when posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
If you're on a prebuilt or laptop, include the make, model and SKU to said platform.
Hi, thanks for your reply. This is my first time posting after some time; yes, I rely on DDU regularly during updates or troubleshooting.
I’m running a Lenovo Legion slim 7 16IRH8 (Legion slim 7 gen 8). My setup includes:
- CPU: i9 13900H
- RAM: solid state DDR5 5200MHz 16GB
- Storage: 1TB Samsung generic Gen4 NVMe SSD
- GPU: RTX 4070 mobile
- OS: Windows 11 24H2
- Monitor: 240Hz with G-Sync support
I use Lenovo's Intel VGA driver for my system and for NVIDIA:
things are a bit unique. I’m familiar from the Legion series Discord that I usually run DDU, then install Lenovo’s NVIDIA VGA driver (usually version 556 or similar). After that, I update to the latest NVIDIA drivers as needed.
In short, I generally avoid touching Intel’s drivers. I typically use DDU + NVIDIA VGA, and it works fine. I’ve been running at 566.36 for a week without any issues, but I expect future game optimizations will help when installing new titles.
