Your current GPU driver is newer than what NVIDIA reports!

Press any key to exit...

GeForce Experience reports 546.17 available. Saw issue #175 as possibly related.

Hi Rich. I can see that you have selected GRD drivers, but TNUC is showing a Studio Driver..? This is weird.

ElPumpo commented 9 months ago

I have the same issue on my system.. NVIDIA changed the API?

ElPumpo commented 9 months ago

No, they did not. It is returning broken results, again!

For some reason the API does not listen to the argument.. I don't know what to do about it. We already have an open issue #172 for intermittent problems with the same API..

Perhaps if we query it 4 times with delay in between before showing results?

@ZenitH-AT thoughts?

richferg commented 9 months ago

It definitely appears to be on their end. I tested again today and got the expected result.

Well yea it's not the first time we've expereinced API issues. How does this happen...
