>According to Nvidia, hackers have discovered a new vulnerability across Windows and Linux drivers, allowing them to gain access to PCs and wreak some major havoc. Forget about having a non-operational PC; the exploit could allow bad actors to get away with crucial data stored on your PC or inject some malicious code that would give them unfettered access.>Nvidia users can grab the new security software update for GPU display drivers post-haste and upgrade to driver version 596.49. You can grab the download directly from Nvidia or through the Nvidia app on Windows. All Nvidia drivers before Version 596.36--or Version 482.53 for GTX 10-series users and below are at risk.>https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/05/psa-upgrade-your-nvidia-graphics-drivers-to-avoid-a-high-severity-vulnerability

>>739254019the ride just never fucking ends with these vibe-slopping cunts.
>>739254210Why are you a schizo who has to doubt everything
I haven't upgraded a driver since I put the PC together in 2019.How are these "bad actors" going to find an individual like me? They won't. They can't.
Hey look /v/, that manufacturer that killed computers in general just had a reason to cripple performance on their cards right on the cusp of a new generation. What are the odds!
privilege escalation through buggy graphics drivers is so common it’s not even a big deal
>>739254019I'm still on win 10, you can't hurt me any more
>>739254019>extremely vague fear mongering without any explanation as to how they can hack youinb4 hackers can only gain access if they jiggle a set of baby plastic car keys next to the usb slot if and only if you have an IDE floppy drive
>>739254019OP is a retard no amount of updates can fix this vulnerability that takes over your PC, it was designed this way, its a hardware flaw for israelis to get inside.Its forever backdoored, you should have bought AMD instead.
>>739254343mate, do you know anything about nvidia's drivers? how many hotfixes have there been in recent years?
>>739254019they use same tactic to get rid off geforce experience 3D VR screnshots
>>739254019how come it takes 2 seconds to update nvidia drivers on linux but like 20 minutes to do it on windows

>don't click on britneyspearsnaked.mp3.mp4.exe>don't get "hacked"wow so easy
Sorry I don't have a GPU with drivers that have telemetry embedded
>>739254019My bios had a really big update recently too.First time I have ever seen a 60mb bios
>>739255121It's like saying Microsoft Defender Antivirus is replacement for AV to your average person. Software isn't the issue, retarded people with no common sense are.
>>739255259>he updates bioslove to live dangerously? some freak occurrence during the update and you'll brick your motherboard.
>>739255162how is anon posting without a GPU?
>>739254019Yeah, uh huh but how you retarded fucking apes. Would the "attacker" need me to download and open malicious software? clicking a link leading me their digital rape dungeon? or actual physical access to my shitbox of a PC?Anyway if all of /g/ isn't up in arms over this then i call bullshit

>>739254210See, here's the thing anon.They really ARE compromised.But it's Nvidia themselves that do the compromising to boost sales. Your old graphics card WILL go poof and it will be the doing of it's manufacturer who will shrug their shoulders and tell you you should have upgraded. It's a digital Mafia protection racket. Welcome to the game.Enjoy playing:)
Reminder that nvidia cards are the best. Please ignore all incoherent screeching of AMD users desperately trying to get more people to join their cult of inferior cards.
>>739255458https://hothardware.com/news/new-rowhammer-attacks-on-nvidia-gpus-can-give-hackers-full-system-controlit was last month, its a hardware flaw that can't be fixed and only on ampere GDDR6 memory.
I've used W7 until 2024. I didn't get hacked or lose money on my bank account like people were fearmongering. Just be smart online and nothing bad ever happens.
>>739254784>you should have bought AMD instead.

>>739254019>-10% performanceI don't think so chap
>>739254019if hackers are getting to my pc to mess with gpu then they are already in my pclike how the fuck is this vulnerability gpu specific when they still have to access your computer in the first place which mean your pc is already compromised
>muh leet haxxorzA jeetware can damage your system harder.
>Quick deploy damage control shillteamToo late retards threads dead. Guess you'll have to import more gullible third worlders and give them disposable income.
>>739254019lemme guess for the hack to work they have to insert a usb or some shit
>>739255121this but unironicallycan't believe there's people out there losing 50% of their PC's performance by running mcafee, enabling spectre, windows defender and 10 other things because muh anonymoose hackers
>>739256761They need low level local access so any old dolphin porn folder download will do, it is not a method of breaching but rather escalating
>>739255121Literally all it takes for you to get "hacked" is to expose any ports to the interwebzThe moment you do entirety of Russia and Chinkland will be probing you.They are absolute sub humans and should be nuked.
>>739254019>Update drivers to fix secur--In other words, the chips are contaminated with literal fecal matter and dirt which oxidates everything so now we want to force you to speed down the data processing so you don't notice our fuck up
>>739254019i hate all this tech hackers cyber shiti want to live in a forest with squirrels
>>739254019Sucks to be youDoesn't happen with open source drivers
>vector on all>Local>attacker needs to already have access to your machine and user accountsI think I got bigger problems to worry about it they are deploying this on my system. If they can deploy this, my asshole has already been gaped.
>>739255414It's a laptop it has a battery.Also the thing was fucking unstable on the first bio's and it took this one to fix it.I use to get full laptop freezing and only a power button reset would work.The WiFi card is still a mess.Asus a15 NVR never again
>>739256958>The moment you do entirety of Russia and Chinkland will be probing you.Someone with a lot of power over GPU makers appears to be missing from this list.I suspect that you might be working for them considering your fearmongering over something that would basically make connecting your computer to the internet unfeasible if it had anything important on it at all.
>>739257815>GPU marketthis has nothing to do with GPUs and everything to do with cybercrime being rampant in China, India,Pakistan and Russia.And no, it doesnt mean you cant connect to the internet, it just means you shouldnt expose your ports to the internet without knowing so.You can test it yourself and its really fun to do it, you can set up anything on AWS for free and just expose some standard port to the internet.Within minutes you will see THOUSANDS of crawlers hitting it.I dont know who this someone with power over the GPU market you are talking about but if its the jews they dont need to do this stuff, they have sanctioned access to pretty much everything already lol.The fucking retards in the UK basically had to disable end to end encryption because jews were not happy having to put in some work to get your data.Those kikes are so lazy and evil they literally blackmailed a country into giving them easier access to all communications.Its almost like Cyberpunk2077 but its a whole lot dumber and less cool.
tech illiterate anon here, should I take this seriously? I don't browse any sites besides youtube and 4chan, never click any links in any of those sites and the only things I download are installers for browsers and steam and gog
>>739258374Maybe not since this isn't a magic entryway for the hackerman, but rather a method of escalating privileges when the hackerman has already gained access to your pc
>>739258374Russian cyber skaters are downloading your sister through Limewire right now.

Taking bets on who is behind most of the thread's replies:>schizophrenics who won't believe anything but what a blue checkmark on twitter or a chatbot tells them to think formerly /pol/ infographics with dodgy or non-existent sources, but even that appears too intellectual for that crowd these days>malwarecunts who rely on people being vulnerable and hate the idea of fewer vulnerable targets being around
>>739258374what >>739258481 said but the real question is do you really wanna take a gamble that big no matter how small the chances are given how quick and easy the fix is, it's kinda like getting a cut in your finger and you could easily cover the cut with a bandaid which protects the cut from the gay man's semen, but if there's no bandaid you get aids and die
>>739254019no sir, not upgrading from 566.36
>>739255121A company's cybersecurity is only as good as the dumbest person with access to a computer. I occasionally get asked to test one of our location's cybersecurity, and whenever it's a new place they always expect me to try hacking the mainframe or bypassing the firewalls with some trojan horse or some shit they saw in a Hollywood hacker film.And then get disappointed when I get in easily by just calling numbers telling the first jeet I get "I'm from IT and need your username and password" and then using those credentials to just basically walk in the front door of their online infrastructure without having to interact with their security at all.
>>739254019Give it to me straight, is it another one of those "vulnerabilities" that needs physical access on site to be executed in the first place?
>>739258761>yes mr. Shekelberg please take 20% of my PC's computing power just please tell me I no longer have a 0.000000000000000001% chance that my PC gets a virus that I could remove in 30 minutes if I ever did get it!
Sure let's vibecode our drivers, AI is the future after all. What could possibly go wrong?
>>739259001you do you niggerman
>>739258961I can tell you if you are vulnerable.Just simply post both sides of your debit/credit card.
my 1070 cant be updated tho
>>739258761guess I'll upgrade the driver then, thanks
>>739254019>updating GPU driversbig yikes
>>739258961It's another one of those "attacker needs to already have access to your system" deals.
If your DISPLAY DRIVER has a vulnerability that allows people access to your PC it means your display driver is trying to do things it shouldn't be doing
>>739258961I can't seem to find out. When googling Nvidia security vulnerability, update drivers now. I just keep getting endless articles going back years and years.
>>739254019Want to hear a good way to stay 100% safe? Unplug your ethernet cable.Otherwise you're always at some low level of risk.
>>739255414>update bios to make mobo compatible with new CPU>power goes out>but my UPS kicks in>mobo finish updating bios>everything works like a charmhahaha, I shat myself, get a UPS it could save your PC.
>>739259241Same, there's only a few articles about it, one of them being the DF article OP linked, maybe wait a few more days to see if new material is released about this
>>739259318Wouldn't blocking outward/incoming network traffic from games you have installed play also suffice?
>>739259178of fucking course it's one of those>if someone has your car keys and enters your car, they can steal your car's head unitI have way bigger things to worry about than someone stealing my radio if it already reached that point
>>739259120This is nvidia, not AMD.
>>739259451>current nvidia driversbig yikes
>>739254210Anon, if you're using Nvidia, you've already long subscribed to the Jewish Jeet overlords. Even AMD is slowly falling but at least it's not yet a company that openly states that their hardware is used to kill people.
>>739255414have you used a mobo in the last 5 years? you either have a non-BIOS way to flash or dual bios (double the bricking fun)
>>739259401Not sure, that could also be compromised potentially in some way, I guess?
>>739254019I will stay on 566.36
>>739259451dude when you own a card before current year cards you must never ever update unless you want stutters and low fps
My driver version is 580.159.03 because 590+ doesn't work properly for my laptop hybrid GPU setup when playing certain games that use DX12. If I get hacked, oh well. Though maybe I should give the regular nvidia driver a chance again since it has been a few months.
>>739259420hope you understood that they don't need physical access to your pc, only low level local one
I use the studio driver so my asshole is wide open for a few months I guess
>>739259587>566.36For me its the 536.23
>>739254019NO
>>739254210This. Nice try, Sagaarpatelsteinberg
>Windows 11 does some forced miniupdate>doesn't let me launch librewolf browser>had to disable the intelligent application controlThis is some fear tactic because what else?
What is so special about 566.36?
>>739254019So they released the fix 8 days ago and they are telling us about the exploit just now?
>>739259898Nothing, it's all autism
>>739254210t. false flagging Indian scammer
>can't be exploited remotely>can't even be exploited by malicious site running gpu intensive work>have to intentionally run malicious code on your local machine.Oh wow, it's fucking nothing. If you're running malicious code on your machine it doesn't need any CVE to fuck you over.
>reduces performance by 26%
>>739259898Last driver before the 50 series. Magically as soon as the new gen cards started releasing, older cards got worse and worse with every new update.
>>739259912
>>739259959/v/irginoid sees something be called jeet and clapsthese same people think they're very smart and immune to propaganda btw
Qrd?t. 5080 haver
From what I can tell everything past 581.94 for Ampere is complete dogshit with performance regressions, new bugs and increased instability, and most if not all of these vulnerabilities aren't actually that threatening if you have more than two brain cells anyway, so Nvidia can fuck right off with their newer drivers unless they finally get around to fixing the long-standing issues that people have been reporting (which isn't happening as long as they keep having pajeets code their updates with ChatGPT).
>>739260249>581.94Look at this guy running bleeding edge drivers on his machine
>>739260249>tfw I'm at 581.95Off by .01 lmao
I never updated my drivers. WTF?
aight thanks for the reminder to update my driver I guess>it turned off defenderda fuck
>still on 566.36 three years later
Newest drivers kill Vulkan performance, fuck that shit
This CVE was introduced on a driver version released mid 2025, if yours is older there is no reason for updating, considering they have been jeetcoding the drivers and every new release has issues
>>739261020got any graphs with frametimes or just schizoing?
>>739255665like E.T?
>>739259912>keep news of vulnerability under wraps for a bit until all the details are available>release the fix in the meantime bundled with general driver updates>schizos freak out because they can't rub two brain cells together
>>739258761do you wanna take the gamble of going outside and getting struck by lightning when you're shopping for a dragon dildo? better stay inside
>>739259752this is what i was one on my 3070ti forever. i had to update though when i got my hands on a 5070
>>739254019so it's either>download vibecoded shitty drivers that kill your performanceor>keep vulnerabilities that are likely because nvidia is leaving backdoors where they shouldn'tfuck this gay world
>>739255121But that might be the legendary the nude version of her Toxic clip, the risks are worth it.
I shalln't update anything, if hackers hack me I just unplug the ethernet.
>>739254210
>>739254019>only one cve rate above an 8 related to linuxLINUX JUST CAN'T STOP WINNINGdirty frag and now this, linux user getting pwned
>>739261801Just write your own drivers bro.Like just create your own graphics cards
>>739262012sure just fund me a few billion and give me 40 years
>>739262091just let AI do it for you anon
>>739260097nvidia wants to kill your perfomance with hackerman boogeyman so you buy a 5090
>>739262168Nvidia already does that.
>>739261295I was playing Yuzu and was getting insane performance drops on the newer drivers. Trying other Vulkan software was the same issue. No I'm not going to download drivers to give some random retard graphs. You're more than welcome to look into the driver history to see some weeb game having performance issues.
>>739254019Not a problem as long as you don't execute untrusted code. So if you are pirate, plan to be a butt fucked pirate.
>>739259401no, because your operating system itself is one big exploit waiting to happeneither full air gap or don't bother
>>739262335yeah but they want you to pay them to then make AI do that when you can just skibidi that and do it yourself
>>739254019>running an nvidia GPU
>>739255414is bricking your bios possible nowdays? Most motherboards have a reset bios button
>>739262337just schizoing, got it
>>739262518i think you can still brick it via bios flashing gone wrong. mostly the budget boards though, the higher end boards have fail safes nowadays
>>739255930BASED UPDOOTER
>>739262776>see the word "obsolete">immediately remember the eels songright, well, I'm fucked
>>739254343>stop questioning my authorityno
>>739254321The problem is with older drivers and was sitting there for a while, do you even know how to read dude?
>>739255414Hey grandpa, there is a thing call dual bios now you should look it up.
>>739262405this nigga has a 7900X3D GPU
>>739262909I be running ALL the 7900s.
>>739254019>"HAHA HYPER V WON'T DO SH......"
>>739254019The exact patch that fixes the security vulnerability (596.36) has a massive feedback thread of users reporting micro-stutters, DLSS Frame Generation completely breaking in certain games, and localized Blue Screens (specifically VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL) in games with heavy inventory or VRAM usage.
If nvidya fucks my computer I'll just quit computers. Their loss.
>>739262958AI coding is... le good, atschkualy!
>>739258761there is no external way to perform these hacks so it's a non issue. So do nothing and just enjoy the fearmong created for npcs to fuck over their current graphics performance.
>>739262958I'm not very happy at the thought of seeing another blue screen, hadn't got one since playing Magicka back in the day... after using the bsod spell
>>739255414Depends on the mobo. Nowadays a lot of mobos can update the BIOS from a USB drive automatically even if the PC is too borked to work.
>>739259898It worked pretty good but the problem is there are newer games where it doesn't
>>739262950That makes no sense. If the underlying software you run is malicious you are getting owned regardless of this. If it isn't you're not.This is a lot more relevant on shared machines where you have unprivileged users you don't trust because this allows them to escalate their privilegesFor fuck sake this site didn't use to be this tech illiterate 10 years ago
>build backdoor into your GPUs>backdoor becomes compromised>pls update driver to fix problem>repeatSeriously how many fucking times are we going to do this with NVIDIA and pretend it's nothing.
>>739254019>GPU can inject code into your PC...?
>>739262958yeah it's fear mongering to get users to enshit their systems. Next will be some kind of "you should just get our cloud service" speech
>>739263260Uh anon there is some hardware backdoor on all iphone gpus that let you bypass security, encryption, everything.
>>739263325Oh, how would a software update stop that?Does it ask if the intruder is a government agency first?
>>739254019After some research, I'm not updating. The issues caused by recent nvidia GPUs can potentially ruin your PC with voltage issues without warning, while the odds of getting pwned and having my PC ruined that way are lower, and preventable in other ways. So yeah no, not worth it. Nvidia's code is more dangerous than hackers exploiting Nvidia's code.
>>739254343Have you used the new drivers in the past two years? Horrible jeet code. I have an uptime of 3months currently since I'm using actually decent drivers (566.36 I think)
Say what you want about the Intel GPU or old ass GPUs but they are so niche or old that they never get issues like that anymore.
>>739263516>The issues caused by recent nvidia GPUs can potentially ruin your PC with voltage issues without warningwtf that's awful
>>739263384The nsa has a preapproved vulnerabilities list that is usually 50+ entries long. When one "door" is patch another vulnerability is used.
>>739263384Software updates stop certain method from reaching those gpu registers but hackers could find other ways in.Backdoor is so powerful it wasn't discovered for 4 years.
>>739263516>The issues caused by recent nvidia GPUs can potentially ruin your PC with voltage issues without warningDo you have a single fact to back this up?
>>739254019>stuck with AMDGuess I dodged a bullet, for now. I bet there's probably an exact same "vulnerability" that just magically exist on AMD and Intel cards as well. Watch this turn into a Specter 2.0, of which I still never updated my CPU on my old machine and laptops and had zero hacking issues.
I haven't updated drivers in at least 3 years. We are all still using NVClean right?
>>739263657AMD's drivers are stable, the problem is that even with degraded performance, nvidia's software still outperforms AMD's by a lot, purely because they're eons ahead in ML stuffThough given what DLSS 5 looked like I think that era is coming to an end, lol
>>739262958Do not worry saar. AI will fix it promptly dear.
>>739255964I often also defend my purchased with Steam user graphs, too. Actually, most people in this thread can relate to that.
>>739263516>recent nvidia GPUs can potentially ruin your PC with voltage issues without warning,source? Because I can only find reports of undervolting issue that got fixed already, not voltages above the expected values (those can fuck up your gpu)
>>739264724Not him but not updating because newer drivers have worse performance and because these "vulnerabilities" only can happen if the hacker already has access to your computer. Imo this is a non issue unless you pirate.
>>739264541ok. rape you next week!
>>739254019Not believing these kike lies.
>>739254019when njudea stops vibecoding their drivers I'll think about it
>>739263516Had to switch to Nshittia awhile ago to run an AI program for hobby shit, but it was that 13th-14th gen overvolt bullshit. Ended up updooting the BIOS since I was getting a retarded amount of crashes in specific games, but this time around, not updating again.>Helldivers 2 giving me some bullshit about needing to update againWhen the time comes I'm switching back to AMD, never had to deal with this bullshit with them, and Unreal games just start shidding and fardding when AMD is detected, I wonder (((why.)))Good thing just about every Unreal game out there is hot dogshit anyways.
>>739262958Just go offline until the actual patch rolls out
>>739259562>a company that openly states that their hardware is used to kill people.That's the most pearl-clutching argument I've ever heard, every large company has a part in the military industrial complex.You shouldn't use Nvidia because they hate your guts.
>>739264552>>739255964nice try shartyjeet
These threads are helpful to me because they make me check my driver version and realize that it's always about 10 versions behind.
Meanwhile amd decided to keep the 6000 and 7000 series alive for 7 more years with the june update, in fact watching a 7800xt raping 5070 has been some good shit.Incredible how the 50xx series has been a complete powerhog and house fire fumble
>>739262386nah u got owned by that reply lmao
I'm on a 2080 TI. What driver am I supposed to have?
>>739266096The one where you buy a new card.
>>739266096i would try 566.14 or 566.36, i think those were the cut off point before enjeetification
>>739266298*tf2's heavy voice* "NO!"
>>739254019vulnerable drivers and ai slop, eat shit nvidia fags
>>739266314>enjeetificationwhy
>>739261571If they bundled the fix in an update then they already knew the details you stupid fuck.
>>739258850I stuck with this until Windows 10 update forced me to get a newer one that sucked ass. Uninstalled it and reinstalled 566.36 and a week later it fucking installed the new one again.Not even avoiding Windows 11 avoids forced driver installations.
>>739267289>illiterate retard award
596.36 Studio versionWill not upgrade
>>739254019>update to new drivers>suddenly all games run slower>forced to buy another card to keep gaming at 60fpsYeah nice try nvidia, you wont get me doing that shit again
>>739268084>shitthatneverhappened.txt
coolI'm still not updating
>>739268084Can anyone pinpoint the update that fucked the 10xx series performance hard? i shit you fags not that fallout4 on ultra settings here with mods had no stuttering problems on a fucking 1060 3gb(rip) 5 years ago, but even 1080 ti boards began suffering with stuttering problems even with old games or psu pin malfunction recently.Seems like nvidia put triggers on 10xx to literally die after 10 years of use.
>>739268591just find the date that the 2000 series released and find drivers near that date and work backwards
>>739268139NTA, but it's more like they don't want to be liable for not patching a security hole, but also don't want to put much effort into patching old cards without making them shit themselves
>>739269073This. It's always liability avoidance first and foremost and as soon as humanly possible, and that means they cut corners.
>>739254710I dunno, seems pretty straightforward to me.
>566.36let me guess, you need "more"?
>>739268982That'd be version 411.70, the first driver to support the 20 series, almost 8 years ago.Most newer games will have issues on a driver that ancient.>>739268591537.58 is a good one for the 10 series, released in October 2023. It's the last one that works really well on my 1080, all the rest had performance degredations and nothing new for non-RTX cards.
>>739259981>have to intentionally run malicious code on your local machine.>Oh wow, it's fucking nothing.You pay for all your games?
>>739267123Because that's the game plan now. Hire jeets to enshittify everything.
>>739254019>tfw cachyos linux on a 9070xt>update pretty much daily and i have zero reason not to because worst case scenario i can undo it in 5 minutesimagine not being able to trust your computer lmao
>>739266298Why should he?
>>739270858thanks for beta testing
>>739258930I remember hearing about that kinda shit from cyber security talks at uni. Sometimes they just put a compromised usb stick in the parking lot and wait for someone dumb enough to just plug it in
>>739254210unironically think this is a bit sus
>>739271002Heard about that one, but never heard of it actually happening here(not that it couldn't have I guess knowing these retards sometimes). You should never run anything off an external device on a computer connected to anything important. if I ever feel the need to run something I'm skeptical of, I put it into an old laptop with nothing important and leave it not connected to anything. Though I don't have any reason to do that anyways so it's not really a big deal.Companies are always so worried about hackers and muh cyber security that they forget most real hackers don't have to bother with any of that shit because they just need one retard to click one shady link and all that security is suddenly useless. Most cyber security issues we have would honestly be fixed by just completely disconnecting internal systems from the internet entirely so that the only e-mails and messages they get are internal ones only, but they don't. Which i guess I can't complain about to a certain point because it lets me continue justifying my job to out of touch boomers who still think 4chan is going to hack their mainframes.

Did you ever notice how technology at first made the world better, but at some point it began making the world worse, but by that point there was no choice?
>>739271910Has there ever been a time when there wasn't a substantial number of people who were absolutely sure new technologies were making the world worse? Perhaps in the distant past, before the industrial revolution, when technological change was much slower. But these people die off, everyone else accepts the new stuff and views the next thing with trepidation. That isn't to say that the future won't be horrifying for us to behold, but it is not for us in the first place, and what we think of it doesn't matter in the end.
>>739273271Right now is horrifying for us to behold.
>>739254019It's probably a really good idea to update then, I read something about Cemu and another gamer program being hacked recently. They uploaded compromised .exes for people to download. I've been playing a fork of ShadPS4 that runs GR2 lately and while the dev is super based and I love him, he could also be a super hacker about to fuck my shit up kek. So I'll be updating even though updating drivers usually does more harm than good.Twilight Princess just got that PC port too, which is getting updates. That's another thing that could take advantage of an exploit like this maybe.>>739255845Smooth Motion was pretty cool if you don't want to use lossless scaling, same with Nvidia Ansel before they dropped it.
>>739273518Well if it seems bad now, I would guess if you could look through a magic mirrors and behold the future a hundred years from now you'd probably be so spooked that crappy jeet vibe coded GPU drivers would seem insignificant in comparison.
>>739273723>Gravity Rush got 100% playable while Bloodborne will always be a buggy, crashy piece of shit/v/ keeps winning and I keep losing.
What’s the best driver version for 4090s? Still 566.36?
>>739267468Skill issue. I've permanently disabled Windows update.
>>739261807oops it's a virus
>>739273821Bloodborne runs better than GR2 tho. Get that Diego fork, the only other mod I needed was the vertex explosion fix but I think that it's redundant now, didn't they fix that with readbacks? Either way, you just need that mod. The only bad thing was that the fix I'm talking about made your character have a generic face so you couldn't be an OC but that's' whatever, I just wore hats anyway.BB then has a shitload of mods to improve the game. Like I had ultrawide mods that fixed the UI, higher resolution, higher FPS, faster loading, and some other shit I can't remember. But oyu just needed the Diego fork which I believe is still maintained and the vertex fix, which may no longer be needed.GR2 works but you have to play at natirve resolution for now and there are more crashing issues than BB had. It's making really quick progress after this fork popped up though.
>>739254019Thank you OP, I needed to update my drivers anyway. Been a while.Still annoyed over nvidia's descriptions>What is a Game Ready Driver?>If you are a gamer who prioritizes day of launch support for the latest games, patches, and DLCs, choose Game Ready Drivers.Nigga that doesn't answer the question directly without me guessing what you mean.
>>739274035Didn't ask.
>>739274112That's a bummer. I just wanted to help.
It's okay I ripped out the telemetry myself and blocked all internet access by firewall too, I'm still using a 1080 so those newer ai/jeet coded drivers are worthless to me
so how much performance do you lose on the latest jeetware?
Drivers cannot be vibecoded.
>>739254019Always do the opposite.Looks like I'm not updating.
>>739274415No, drivers shouldn’t be vibe coded, but they are.
>>739254019My PC is from the year the 1080ti released and I NEVER updated the Driver of anything.
>>739254343>doubt everythingthat is only sane approach
>>739262958Sounds like some retard manager clicked the fix bug on codex and just pushed it to master
If nvidia wants me to update they have support back into the drivers for my card
>>739254210t. Hacker
>>739274096gameready drivers are basically unstable drivers, they're supposed to be more optimized for games, whereas studio drivers are more stable and prioritize gaming optimization less
>>739276689Yeah, that's what nvidia should write on their homepage. That answers "What is a Game Ready Driver?"Instead they answer "Who is a Game Ready Driver for?"
>>739254019>All Nvidia drivers before Version 596.36What about 596.36 itslef lol?That's the latest studio driver.

>>739254019There is a very good reason I decided to just eat the 35% performance hit and use the mesa stack.
>>739254210ok chud, your gpu will die just like you did with your anti-vax nonsense
>>739254019I will do nothing
>>739279605Leaving that aside, people who have to use 390 or 470 because NVidia dropped support for older hardware are just fucked.
>>739254019yeah sure and let me install windows 11 as well
>>739265475>every large company has a part inThere's a difference between having a part in it and proudly proclaiming it. Jensen Huang has happily told everyone that their products are used to kill people, the McDonald's in the Pentagon doesn't do that.
>>739254019erm I'm sorry but I'm just... I'm just not going to upgrade..................................
>>739254019wtf I updated my drivers and now my GPU is beeping
>>739280867I would strongly recommend making sure to disable WebGL and WebGPU in your browser.So long as you do that, you're basically safe since that would mean it's only locally exploitable.
> Buy Nvidia> Your computer turns into a virus lab while Jackets Jensen gets another few billion with which to fuck up the computer hardware industry even harder.> Up next: DLSS 5: Blurry Smear Edition, now embedded universally in all hardware as GPUs will be available only to multinationals.
>>739271002>>739271427Fun fact, all tech jobs have "phishing training" and EVERY job I have ever worked ends up having several emails that look like phishing that end up being legit.
guys i just updated my drivers but the screen kept flickering and even turned off at one pointit's back to normal now but i guess i got hacked before the update could protect mei'm literally in tears writing this; what do i even do?
>>739259634>hope you understood that they don't need physical access to your pc, only low level local oneHey retard. Are you an admin on your PC yes or no. Simple question. Is the user you are logged in with an admin or not.
>>739254019>Article links to a source that doesn't load>Absolutely nothing about this on Nvidia's site, blogs, or social media accounts
>>739265087>Imo this is a non issue unless you pirate.Did you miss that Steam let another virus through this week?
>>739282463Funny you post a character of a game that injected malware to all users.
>>739280629Nvidia gets most of it's money from datacenters nowadays, the US blowing people up with your products sounds amazing to the souless line-go-up investors. Nvidia hates your guts even if it was your money which supported their industry for the longest while and I'm sure that working anyting gamer related than AI is a badge of shame internally (hence why DLSS is a slop filter now).
>>739282730Didn't think of that, but you're right. It's a good example of why the people saying "just don't run untrusted exes lol" are retarded.
>>739281670A surprising number of high up people in companies have sub-jeet level writing ability.
>>739282463>>Absolutely nothing about this on Nvidia's site, blogs, or social media accountstypical OP nonsensical schizo gaslights, seen too many on /v
>>739282463https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5821You mean this is fake?
>>739263516>>739265087I looked this shit up and apparently there have been like a dozen of these listed security exploits in the past two years since I last updated my drivers. Here's one from January: https://cyberpress.org/nvidia-gpu-display-driver-vulnerability/This is the first time I heard of it and only because of a shitpost on /v/. I'm too stupid to understand what they're saying but I assume they're not hugely important since I've gotten news from actual serious exploits before on other channels. All I know is that fucking with new drivers if you don't have any issues with your games often causes shit to get worse, and I already got all my games working the way I want them to so I shant be updated. If I buy some new AAA slop and I need a brand new "game ready driver" then maybe I'll give a new one a shot.
>>739282668>Did you miss that Steam let another virus through this week?NTA but no vulnerabilities are needed at all if you download a virus and run it on your machine as an admin account, which everyone here will be. That steam thing would suck, but you don't need a vuln to get hacked in that case.
>>739283032>NTA but no vulnerabilities are needed at all if you download a virus and run it on your machine as an admin accountEven if you're running an admin account on Windows UAC and antiviruses serve as stop-gaps to prevent malicious action from escalating, the problem is when you have viruses exploiting security holes that allow them to bypass those stop-gaps, which is what makes holes like this an issue that require patching.Of course if you're running Windows and have UAC turned off you're just asking for trouble in exchange for slightly more day to day convenience.
>>739259981>The security exploit is "if you get a hacker to run malicious code on your machine then they can potentially use your GPU to escalate privileges to admin level!" Aren't there a billion ways to get fucked if you're already at the level where you're running malicious code on your machine and it's not getting stopped by Windows Defender?
>>739255665wintoddlers unironically believe this LMAO
>>739283021Eh, I just updated my diver about a month ago.I guess that explains why it said 'security update' but I didn't really think about it at the time.
Pc goy cattle really out here buying a wannabe console at 10x the price with games they don't own and run way less stable all while being vulnerable to hackers and vibe coded jeet drivers that fry their expensive componentsBut yeah keep lying to yourselves about that master race larp
>>739283158I don't think anyone here has UAC on, I do on my PC at work. Windows defender will still do just as well as it would normally, which is actually pretty good.I'm just tired of every panic vuln being the same god damn PE which is meaningless most of the time. I actually had anyone in "security" on a SOC as they are all borderline panic retards that don't know how anything works.
>>739267468>Windows update force installing nvidia driversHuh? I let windows update do whatever it wants and I'm still on 560.94 from like two years ago. Did you turn on optional updates?
>>739254019>says 596.36 includes fixesDo people really run old drivers? It's like not running the latest build of Windows 11. How poor and stupid do you have to be?
i just updated my driver jensen flew over my house and now all my framerates are all faggy and my computer's retarded
>>739254019I am still on Windows 10 and nothing bad has happened to me
>>739284629Besides using outdated software.
>>739281180thanks for the reminder, I used to keep WebGL disabled in Male Poon and Firefox for years until I got tired of having to turn it back on whenever I wanted to use noclip.website for something. I doubt this vulnerability's even going to be exploited in the wild, but I'll always find it funny that they can be mitigated 99% of the time by turning off some insecure service or feature that likely isn't being actively used in the first placealso I have access to the real 590 drivers on Debian, but Linux and Nvidia both suck ass so whatever
>>739271910It was never the tech, it was the people exploiting it in their war to make you miserable.
I don't even know what going on with them anymore
>560.81I should update at some point but any higher and POE2 starts fucking up.
>>739262091Then stop your whining you stupid shit.
>>739254019Last time I tried downloading the latest drivers for my Novidya card (3060Ti), the performance in my games tanked noticeably. Never upgrading my drivers again, I am not falling for snake oil.FACT: despite making up 98% of first posts about fixing a performance issues or bugs in a game, updating drivers constitute only 2% of actual solutions

>>739287320>>739287642
>>739258374security fixes are real, so updates will decrease chances of getting hacked, although not always by a huge amountthe bigger issue is finding out some compatibility issue down the line if something is not optimized for the new graphics card version or windows version or whatever. i am surprised nobody mentioned that in the thread.
>>739254019Thanks OP, I'm downgrading now to 566.23!
>>739260249>everything past 581.94 for Ampere is complete dogshit with performance regressions, new bugs and increased instabilityJust thinking out loud, these updates could be part of planned obsolescence. pretty genius move if you think about it.
im gonna downgrade my drivers out of spite
The enshittification will continue indefinitely and with no regard to morale.
How come theres ZERO threads about this on /g ?? you'd think they'd be all over it if it's THAT important... seems weird.Anyway, do we know if this affects the older gtx1070/1080 series as well? or just the newest and latest GPUs?
>>739288298>if it's THAT importantThat's because it isn't. CVEs are discovered every day. The vast, vast majority never result in a practical, actively used exploit. "Software vendor patches bugs" simply isn't an interesting headline.
>>739254210yjk this guy is running a GTX 780 with Windows 7

>>739258115>Within minutes you will see THOUSANDS of crawlers hitting it.Nigger it's been years since I exposed some ports to connect to my sftp server and torrent servers and I've never been hacked.Standard ports are the most probed because they're common (22, 21, 80, etc) if you use a translation layer (port 42069 translate internally to 22, for example) you're already adding another simple layer of security. On top of that you HAVE to set up a password access with a max retry system. Once you do that you're good.Also nobody knows which ports are listening on your system and they should never be left opened if there's nothing using them.
>>739254387You're a fucking idiot
updates are like fucking vaccines, they don't fucking work

The last time I downloaded drivers was in March I think. Maybe early April. Am I safe?
explain this
>>739268591i have a 1070ti and 2years ago i started getting nvlddmkm crashes (complete black screen), i thought my gpu was done until i reverted to an old driver and it completely fixed the crashes. So yes i 100% believe nvidia is trying to kill old gpus so you get the newest one.Also i keep seeing a bunch of people sharing photos of their gpus vram failing lately.
>>739303002Weekly special, you're getting 40% more driver at no charge
I'm still on 581.57 because it's the last one I tried that didn't degrade my performance. Guess I have a reason to update now, but really didn't want to. These drivers are actually good
I haven't updated my drivers in like, 5 or so years
can't be bothered sorry
pcjeet gaming, only retards who don't value their time play on peeceeI don't have to update shit on my console, literally put the disc in and jump into the game
I wonder if this vulnerability is because Nvidia has been vibe coding their drivers for the last year or two.

Why do I have to crawl through reddit to find out which driver is actually stable enough to install? What if I randomly pick 591.44 to update to, will I get all these bugs because I should have installed 592.60 instead?

>>739307164Rule of thumb now should be:>If it works, don't update it>If there's a really really bad vulnerability found, update itChances are if the CVE is bad enough, then whatever vendor is responsible for the update is going to quadruple check they aren't compromised before pushing it out. Otherwise it's just not worth it to blindly trust random updates anymore.

>>739312370>>739311053if i got driver 582 for the gtx1080 like 4 months ago, does that mean i dont need to "upgrade"?so 482.53 and above for the gtx 10 series are fine? kinda confusing
where's the /g/ thread about this shit
>>739254019The latest nvidia gpu drivers are a stuttering mess suck my dick
>>739293612>using an EoL GPU when a 5090 is basically freeWhy?
>>739314308It's a vulnerability that theoretically allows privilege escalation if malicious code is allowed to run LOCALLY on your machine. Basically HACKERMAN already needs to have access to your PC for it to cause issues. This isn't nowhere near big enough to get a dedicated /g/ thread.
>>739315018where is free 5090
>>739313205Are you sure you got 582? That doesn't seem to existhttps://us.driverscollection.com/?H=GeForce%20GTX%201080&By=NVidiaOtherwise yes, if you're already at or above 482.53 for your fossilized GPU you should be fine.
>>739312370okI'm still not updating

I'm still not updating from my 2079
>>739316060LOCALPHYSICAL
>>739256958you still have to be hosting some vulnerable service on those open ports and have whitelisting that allows outbound traffic to arbitrary ip addressesimagine not having the eastern hemisphere completely rangebanned from your home network
>>739315928>>739316176Are you asking for real or just pretending to be retarded
saar you have to update so we can make your gpu run worse
>>739316317Can you only run games from 2020?
>>739315745I said basically free. Look at this. Just skip avocado toast for a few weeks and it's yours.
>>739316416but what about the printer
>>739316406I've played maybe 5 games released after 2020 because only slop gets produced now but they all worked fine
>>739254019>fell for the AMD driver meme>the drivers work fine while NVIDIA consistently pushes out data mining, performance degranding, BSOD inducing and vulnerable drivers.nvidiacucks will still say nvidia has better drivers though
>>739254019>please pleas PLEASE download our latest vibecoded droovers so we can make your GPU slower PLEASEA many security risk saar
>>739269163so some random ass malicious shitware can take advantage of the old drivers to write outside of the bufferif i already installed their shitware im already giving them access so...

>>739312253did you know the jews at kikevidya block any and all attempts at alternative drivers because they're jewish money-grubbers that don't want you to unlock quadro features via software?
>>739259356>me when I've got onefeelin' safe, based
saar
>>739318245There's already a thread for ithttps://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1thh245/nvidia_gpu_display_driver_security_bulletin_may/
>>739254019Again? Or is this old news?
so do you still need to always use DDU to update gpu drivers?and does jewvidia still bundle bullshit along the drivers? Can you skip installing that on the regular installer?
>>739254019>the exploit could allow bad actors to get away with crucial data stored on your PC or inject some malicious code that would give them unfettered access.that is some vulnerability to leave in there.
>>739254019I run Linux Mint. How cooked am I? This feels like a scam to get me to replace my GTX 1080. Just note if I am swapping my 1080 it certainly won't be anything from Nvidia.
>>739254343Apparently people you've called schizo were right about US web of cannibal pedophiles, so you can suck my cock, faggot.
>>739320791https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/
>>739320791Can you not simply download the drivers from nvidia and manually update them in windows -> devices? That's how I've always done it. It skips any of the custom nvidia installer bullshit.
>>739296470Reading sure is hard.
>>739254019I haven't been able to upgrade them for a year. When I do my PC just loads straight into a bluescreen. I am literally running the factory default drivers right now because that's the only way I dont get the bluescreen loop.
>>739254019this is why I do all my serious business on a macbook
Theoretically, if there actually was someone actually exploiting this vulnerability in the wild in this thread, how would they act any differently than the schizophrenics screaming saar until they choke on their own vomit
>>739254343Jensen is one of the people Trump took to China along with Elon.Why pretend nvidia isnt involved in the conspiracy network?
>>739288610For me I'm Win8.1 with a 1080 TI

>>739318916didn't they basically kill noveau by hiring their lead dev?
>>739325925No money, I don't even use my desktop anymore, can't afford the power bill
>>739324027I'm pretty sure Nvidia themselves are saying there haven't been any confirmed uses of this exploit in the wild, they're just trying to get ahead of it by releasing the fix because potentially they could be happening. If they were it would be easy to spot since it would involve them sending commands to Nvidia GPU processes and it would also be a way bigger story with more youtubers releasing videos with scary red text on them.
>>739254019>nvidia driversLOL
>>739326075there literally are demonstrations of how the exploit works lmao
>>739254019>All Nvidia drivers before Version 596.36--or Version 482.53 for GTX 10-series users>Mine shows 582.53 on GTX 1070What do?
>>739326210Take english classes
>>739326210Delete your post before Jensen finds out
>>739254019>he has a Njudea GPU>he doesn't own a 7900 XTX ngmi
>>739326172"confirmed uses of this exploit in the wild" doesn't mean "demonstrations of how the exploit works". As of right now it requires a low permissions local user to execute the malicious code. If you run a file called freemoneynovirus.exe, there are much easier and more effective ways to get fucked than the malicious actor who sent you that file escalating permissions via commands to your GPU.
>>739326210>Says you need to be at least on version 482.53 on a GTX 10 series>Have a GTX 10 series on a version number higher than what's statedI don't know lil' zoom, maybe you need to ask ChatGPT.
>>739326210I'm on a 1080 and have to use an older driver because of Linux. I feel extremely fucked. If I really have to buy a new GPU it won't be from Nvidia.
So why is there no offical announcement from Nvidia or even any threads in reddit? It's just 4chan and digitalfoundry? So it's literally nothing. I hope you're all on the latest Win11 if you care so much.
>>739254019>Forget about having a non-operational PCThis would be more severe though
>>739326838https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5821
>>739255414I used to use a pen tube with my thumb to refill the water in resivoire ontop of my CPU while it was running
>>739326172are there?
>>739326469>have to run the file manually for anything to happenMakes sense, because if was actual "someone just connets to you and fucks you up" there would be more attention on this. Not everyone browses 4chan, reddit or social media related to this, 99% of the population doesn't even know the vulnerability exists.
>>739328269It's still a bit dangerous because this theoretical file wouldn't involve a UAC prompt, since it involves API calls to the GPU that any local user would have permissions to do. So if you do get a weird file and run it, you might not realize you're getting fucked, whereas with other malware a UAC prompt would at least give you a chance to reconsider running it.
>>739328470People with UAC prompts will just press ok because for them the prompt is something that always happens.
>>739328470who doesn't disable UAC? that hsit is annoying
>>739328695>>739328771Okay nevermind you guys should definitely update if this is how you use your PCs.
>>739328807No please explain. Every installing known things like Discord will give you a prompt, what are you gonna do, click abort because the prompt happened and never install anything?
Will this hurt my rig which is win 7, an old AMD card, hooked up to a CRT via a transcoder, and is completely offline?
>>739328882If it's discord from a trusted source then I let it go through. If I'm opening a notepad file or something else and UAC comes up then I stop what I'm doing and investigate. Acting like you should disable UAC or just say yes to everything is retarded.
>>739328963I'm afraid it's turned into a bomb anon. A bomb that will explode and turn you gay.
>>739329181>If I'm opening a notepad file or something else and UAC comes upYou didn't open up a notepad file then.
>>739329259ok
>>739329259UAC will trigger when you right click a script and click "edit" (which opens Notepad) sometimes.
>>739329383You're welcome.
ok
>>739329232>Killer Queen has already touched the battlestation
Dude I'm seeing issues with this company every 3 months what the hell lol
>>739328882Sometimes running certain steam games gives me a UAC prompt. I just say no and the game works anyway. I'm generally in the habit of saying no unless I absolutely have to.
>>739268591My 1080 got raped around 2023 I think
so 596.49 or 596.36 for series 3000cels
>>739330740Just go back to an earlier driver?
>>739330914>he's updootinglole
>>739331072I can always rollback to my current version if shit is too unstable/rapes my performance
>>739306686>Why not have a bunch of "unstable" releases first to catch all the bugs, and then release a master fixed versionThe "game-ready" drivers are supposed to be that, and the "studio" driver is what they call their "stable" branch (it's not actually any more stable)
>>739331136What if it corrupts your Windows?
>>739326673it's literally a nothingburger. You're probably way more protected on Linux anyway. Nobody is writing complex malware to catch your 0.5% of global PC userbase ass.
>>739331282>numbers in usernameIt's retarded. I blame pilot error.
>>739329674to this day i don't understand why Microsoft insists of hiding file name extensions by default.
>>739254210This, not going to vaxx my gpu with AI jeet poison
>>739333801Seeing file extensions confuses normies
>>739333801>rename penis.doc to dong.doc>association still works>rename penis.doc to penis.dog>"MY FILE DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!"Gotta protect zoomers from themselves.
>>739334001would have been normalized by now, even the dumbest person would understand what the ending .xxx means if explained to him once>>739334267when renaming a file windows automatically only selects the part before the extension, and if you try to change the extension a warning is displayed. it's really fool proof, i don't understand why Microsoft still hides it by default. and the oldest people that never would get it has died off already.Microsoft also insists of using MB/GB when they mean MiB/GiB.
>>739254019I'm more worried about the south asian employees of this company destroying my computer than hackers.
>>739334618Nobody means MiB/GiB, since those are invented by faggots who can't do math (people who use metric and find dividing by 5280, 16, 12, 8, and 1048576 hard). Keep your bullshit "I'll just move the decimal point because Mongo not understand math(s, faggot)" and don't introduce it to manly endeavors like computering.
>>739326002main issue is you can't reclock the GPU without jewvidya's approval, which stops any attempts at freesw drivers dead in their tracks
Just give me the security updoot on my old driver nvidia, I don't want the new one my stuff already works fine!
>>739254019Wow, so this is the power of every 500k engineer spending half their salary on AI tokens...
>>739334958wat, maybe you don't know the difference. everybody means MiB when saying "megabyte" (MB)
I remember when we used to make fun of AMD for having shitty drivers. Now It's Nvidia.
>>739254019Whenever I try to update on the Nvidia app in the past year, it just causes an infinite updating screen that never goes anywhere.I try it again after closing all other programs and still nothing.If you want me to fix my shit, push out an updater that doesn't break first.
>>739338215Nvidia can afford to have shitty drivers, when AMD's current generation flagship can't even come close to competing with a Nvidia card from 2022.
>>739254019Im at 596.49 from 582 holding out for so longNo issues so far
I haven't updated neither my driver nor my debloated windows 10 since 2021Still working so who care
I'm on 572.83. Am I safe?
>>739339903That's the wrong frequency to talk to Mei Ling
>>739339798anon Hackman is probing your anus RIGHT NOW!!!
This is like Lostboy.EXE on steroids. I wouldn't fuck around and ignore this, update your drivers.
>>739340808lol
>>739254019Well I have an AMD 7800XT so this doesn't effect me.I bought a GPU with actual VRAM in it that doesn't rely on software trickery to have decent performance.I find it funny, playing Forza Horizon 6, at max settings 1440p, the game runs at a perfect framerate for me.Nvidia users on the forums? Stuttering. Crashes. Game gives low fps.You just gotta laugh.
>>739325373>>739325617It just werks
Nah, I'm good. I let microjeet do the updates for me
>>739254387Your games must run like shit kek
>>739341187that's some pretty huge cope right there retard
>>739341347FSR extended this bad boy's lifespan by another decade
I'm on a 4090 I stopped installing driver updates a while ago, everything just werks.
>>739341453>591.86You're mildly retarded.
>>7393419944090 still gets feature updates for DLSS and junk, as well as profiles for modern games.
>>739342221I never use dlss or frame generation, I don't care for it, I play at 1440p so it was never useful for me anyway with my current fps being more than enough as it is.
>>739341453>591.86Holy shit anon you're using WHQL certified drivers only? Jesus Christ, you must hate having good performance in game. That's 6 months old.
>>739343572Current ones in the Nvidia App are WHQL. MS just doesn't add them to Windows Update until later.
