Nvidia and VDL2026+

me_again wrote on 5/13/2026, 5:00 AM

Greetings,

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that VDL 2027 is on the horizon for two reasons:-

1) Historically new versions come out end of May beginning of June, and

2) I always seem to receive a regular stream of emails strongly suggesting I update from MS2025 to VD 2026. Over the past four weeks I've had 15 emails each seemingly with a better offer than the previous one.

With this in mind, I've started thinking (again) about the Nvidia driver debacle of the last few months and I'm wondering if the new drivers are now working within acceptible and even expected parameters (😇) in VDL 2026 - I'm ignoring MS2025 as that has not received the DLSS(?) patch; I'm still using Nvidia 577.00 which doesn't give me black or white flickers in other programs.

Can someone please enlighten me?

Assuming that VDL 2027 as a program is no worse that VDL 2026, I may decide to scrape a few pennies together to acquire it.

ps - after all this time I can still only choose Movie Studio as the Category for this question.

EDIT - Now 16 emails

Hi Andy

I am running current patch versions on VDL 2026 and VPX 17 with driver 596.21 on both PC and Laptop with none of the previous issues with judder etc,.

The current version for my RTX is 596.49 however there have been no changes, that I can see, which would affect video decoding/encoding only games fixes.
