That is basic and goes without saying.Īre Nvidia Studio Drivers just old drivers? From the outside looking in, as consumers we see that their revision numbers are lower than than recent Game Ready Drivers and think they are just old drivers. Your issue was primarily that you stuck with an old and unsupported OS for years.ĭoes my OS being upgraded to a newer, more stable OS provide benefits in terms of performance? Yes, of course. Daz routinely releases new versions for which there is no Studio driver released which supports it. Studio drivers are just old game drivers.

So, if you're wondering about the difference from Game Ready Drivers to Studio Drivers. Now, with W10/Studio Drivers that scene doesn't crash and is simply night and day in terms of how that Daz session goes.

I had a scene pre WIN10/Studio Drivers that would always crash iray preview and cancel out my GPUs for the session thus resulting in having to restart Daz. Render times are faster, in app performance is significantly improved. Once the upgrade was done, I uninstalled all the bloatware that comes with W10, and made several changes to background services and processes. It's the best thing I could've done, ofc I did so via the 'keep installed apps and files' option during the upgrade.

Nvidia Studio Drivers are a must, I can't begin to express how making the switch from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 to use Studio Drivers has significantly changed performance for me.Īs a Publishing Artist I was wary about making the change since I have a lot of software synergy and tools setup for my work and didn't want to disrupt that nirvana via an OS change that big.
