DeLayDesign Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hey Cheifsters. I haven't updated my NVIDIA drive since 577.00 due to issues with Chief. They just released an updated driver on the 5th (Version 591.74). Has anyone installed it? Is it stable with Chief? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundra_dweller Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Not sure about the latest version, but I have the same GPU as you and have been running 581.57 studio version for the past month or so and it has been totally stable with Chief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawingABlank Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 @Kbird1 is a solid go-to on this subject. Not sure what the current assessment is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hi, I have been trialing 591.44 Studio for a week or two now as the 577 series wasn't great I found and so far no issues on my 4080 Super or 4070 on the laptop, last good stable driver for me is in my signature but is 566.36. I do not install the Nvidia App. (or Experience) so Drivers don't Update automatically and ruin a stable install. I will update my Nvidia Post once I know this 591.44 or the newer 591.74 is good and worth keeping, just haven't found one that was worth updating that post for a while now as it seemed Nvidia was having a few Driver issues in the last half of 2025.

KDsnyder Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) @Kbird1I heard you were the expert on this stuff so... I'm running X16 with the latest Studio Driver for my RTX 3070ti. I haven't done a deep dive test yet but it seems I get really high lag and GPU usage on what should be some pretty simple files. This file is of a 700sf adu. There are now landscaping or other items. I can't figure out if my GPU is really due for an upgrade (97% on a clay render is pretty insane) or If there is some other setting that may be contributing to such a terrible output. You can see the CPU seems to be enjoying this task while my GPU feels like it's gonna have a heart attack! Any advice would be appreciated!

Kbird1 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago it seems you are running the latest 591.74 Driver, I was using X16 with 591.44 this week with no issues , however I do not use/work in Clay Render mode, my guess it is likely some other issue like an absurd numbers of lights, or no# of samples or Light bounces in the Camera's view settings in this ADU file unless it is happening with ALL files tested?
