Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Doesnt Boost In VR With The Latest Game Ready Driver
Seems Maxwell is fine.
Last week we reported that there is a compatibility issue between the HTC Vive and Nvidias Pascal-based graphics cards. Nvidia said that a solution is coming this week, but weve now discovered another problem.
Nvidia released GeForce Game Ready Driver 368.69 on July 6 in preparation for the impending release of Codemasters Dirt Rally VR update. Though this driver is meant to prepare your system for a VR game, the update (rather ironically) broke the ability for the GTX 1080 to put its impressive boost clock to work. We tested the driver to see if the Vive display port issue was corrected, but we had no reason to monitor boost clocks at the time.
Seems Maxwell is fine.
We cant say for sure if this will happen with the GTX 1070, because we dont have one at the lab where our VR equipment is. However, we can verify that this does not happen with Maxwell-based cards.
