This driver implements a fix for creative application stability issues seen during heavy memory usage.

Game stability can decrease when applying GeForce Experience Freestyle filters.

Significant performance drop is observed on Maxwell-based GPUs.

Increase in DPC latency observed in Latencymon for Ampere-based GPUs.

Applying GeForce Experience Freestyle filters cause games to crash.Introduces support for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. Additionally, this Game Ready Driver supports a Resizable BAR profile for Dying Light 2: Stay Human to further improve performance. Further support for new titles leveraging NVIDIA DLSS 2 technology includes the launch of Remnant II. This is what I would personally do in your situation.Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for the latest new games supporting DLSS 3 technology including Portal: Prelude RTX and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Again, I'm making the assumption that a new generation GPU will be compatible with your i5-4460 platform rig. Then I would custom install drivers and uncheck Nvidia audio drivers. To recap, I would install Geforce drivers only (skip Geforce experience for now). THEN install those drivers that you previously downloaded, do custom install, but uncheck the Nvidia audio drivers those drivers usually mess with sound defaults in applications such as discord. Then when your system boots back into Windows you'll notice that the resolution will be temporarily very low, therefore all text and icons will be huge. But before installing them, I would run DDU (Display Drivers Uninstaller), select GPU, select Nvidia, then reboot option.

Also, I would try to ring as much performance out of your GTX 960 as possible, by downloading the latest Nvidia Geforce drivers for your GTX 960. If they do, then I recommend that you set alerts on the NowinStock site (google queries below), to give you a fighting chance of purchasing one before others do.

One other possibility is for you to wait until next month and see if the RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 GPUs hit the market.

Good luck, and please let us know how you make out. I wish you the best when finding the most powerful GPU for your budget, but I'd surprised and impressed if you did better than the 1060 3GB, within the constraints of your budget. The 3GB version is noticeably cheaper than the 6, because they are poorer performing in crypto mining, and most of those I see going for closer to $250. On Ebay US, your best choice within a $200 budget appears to be the GTX 1060 3GB.
