NVIDIA Driver Issues: Problems with Refresh Rates and Screen Resolutions

Recently, users have reported various problems with NVIDIA's latest driver update, version 560.70, which affects refresh rates and screen resolutions on certain monitors. This issue arose less than a month after the previous driver bug was fixed, presenting new challenges for users.

Reported Issues:

  1. Refresh Rate Problems: After updating to driver version 560.70, many games fail to display the full range of refresh rates that the monitors support.
  2. Resolution Issues: Users encounter difficulties selecting higher refresh rates from within the game's display settings.
  3. Increased Latency: Some users have also reported increased output latency issues.

Developer's Explanation:

NVIDIA developers have acknowledged these problems and explained that the new drivers now display only the timing configurations that the monitor natively supports. This change has caused unexpected issues for users accustomed to having more refresh rate options.

Temporary Solution:

To revert to the desired refresh rates, users can follow these steps in the NVIDIA Control Panel:

  1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to "Adjust desktop size and position."
  3. In the "Perform scaling on" menu, select "GPU."
  4. Apply the changes to save the settings.

By making these adjustments, users should be able to regain access to the appropriate refresh rates for their monitors. However, it is recommended to avoid updating the drivers until NVIDIA releases a patch to address these issues comprehensively.
