I’m not a developer, I am just a gamer but I’ve been wondering what Nvidia Geforce driver versions(Windows 10 x64) are recommended for 4.15 and 4.16 versions of UE4 engine to get the best performance possible. I’ve found this thread for 4.14 version:
The interesting part is that when I open basehardware.ini in the game I play(Squad), it says that recommended driver is 372.90 and not 375.70, how it was suggested by UE4 Staff:
[GPU_NVIDIA]
; a newer one is out but has issues (see below)
SuggestedDriverVersion="372.90"
; Seems this driver was not setting uninitialized global variables
; (static, non const) to 0 but leaving them uninitialized.
; Also blacklist future driver versions until QA has verified them to work.
; NOTE: UE-25096 has been fixed and verified by QA.
;+Blacklist=(DriverVersion=">=361.43", Reason="UE-25096 Viewport flashes black and white when moving in the scene on latest NVIDIA drivers")
; To prevent problems with older drivers.
; We might have to adjust that further.
+Blacklist=(DriverVersion="<=347.09", Reason="Crashes with Paragon content using more recent GPU features")
; UE-35288, GPU hangs in 4.13 binary release.
+Blacklist=(DriverVersion="==372.70", Reason="This driver version has many known stability issues")
