Great video, but the difference is not simply about stability. The Studio Drivers allow you to output a 10 bit signal to your display in creative apps such as Photoshop, whereas previously, that was not possible on consumer game ready cards.
Good point, that's something that isn't mentioned a lot by Nvidia and I overlooked.
Thanks for this information; I've found tangible benefits of Studio drivers to be quite thin - coming from a programming background I know that Patch Note length doesn't necessarily mean that a LOT of progress isn't being made... the question is whether the progress has reached a point of real-world gains. In short if Studio = faster rendering / scrubbing/effects, I'd use it in a heartbeat. It looks like it doesn't. That said before I hit install on the new Game Ready drivers (new as of the past couple of days, last week in May 2020) - I'll search a little deeper ... hell I might even render a 1 video with a bunch of overlays and other media in Camtasia and see if one is quicker than other.
I was just having issues in premiere pro after updating to the new game ready driver. My footage would completely glitch out whenever i would try to adjust color wheels in the lumetri color panel. Installing the studio driver as we speak. Wish me luck!
@@welder5332 Use DDU to remove your previous driver installation. I use the Studio driver for gaming as well as Adobe software and I have no issues.
@@drmindriot Are you sure about that? I have always been able to set 10 bit color depth in the Nvidia Control panel if the monitor supports it with the game ready driver. You have two options in the Nvidia Control panel let the application decide or override and use the settings you decide its been like that for years at least in Windows.
I went to update my GPU driver, and NVIDIA gave me choices... I froze like a deer in the headlights.
same just got a 2070 and dont want to be on basic display adapter
@@HarpreetSingh-ku6yo Those were the same settings? It's not even a contest. Game Ready Driver all day, baby.
haha well put bruh
Same here bro. I was updating it after really long time, felt like a cave man at a pharmacy 😂😂
Same😂
Da Vinci Resolve gave me problems on my RTX 3060ti when I used Game Ready drivers. Switching to studio drivers fixed it with no noticeable drop in gaming performance on my side.
Same, that’s why I’m on this video actually
Thanks just switched I was wondering what the problem was it was working fine few weeks ago but idk what happened mad stutter when working on my last video.

I know this is an old post, but remember that you have to clear out all your old driver installs with UDD when updating your driver. Yes you can install the new driver, but when your system uses the "Fast Boot" option which most systems do, not only will you have the issues associated with the old stack of drivers, you will have issues with settings from the previous drivers.
Use UDD to clear out ALL the old trash, disable auto update in the UDD, and after you're done installing the new driver, go and disable "Fast Boot". Sure, your system might boot 3-5 seconds slower, but everything will run better.
Finally someone who is in my same situation. I have a laptop with a rtx 3050 8gb and I use Da Vinci Resolve for videoediting. But in these last week I'm also playing some games and... Studio drivers improved performance of Da Vinci, but also of gaming. I'm noticing that gaming with studio driver is better than gaming with game ready. For example... Some days ago I was playing STALKER shadow of Chernobyl, a 2007 game with game ready driver and the quality and resolution was pretty standard. When I switched on driver studio, the quality and resolution improved incredibly. And that's weird because game ready driver is supposed to work videogames at their best
Just what I needed. Outstanding work, man!
Thanks, glad to help!
People forget the importance of stability and reliability when working or creating something...its not always about the FPS
Excellent video! Quick, easy, and clear. I hope you make more content like this, you got my sub for this one. Longer content is good too, I just love it when I can get a clear answer to something fast and quick, without a long drawn out thing.
From my personal experience Studio driver is bit slower in games, my GPU is not boosting as high but stability is improved greatly. Game Driver + Davinci Resolve + GPU accelerated Chrome on second screen = crashes, very odd glitches. Same setup with studio driver no issues. GTA5 is suffering biggest hit from Studio vs Gaming driver in my case. 10 FPS less on average.
because the studio driver is NOT optimazed for games, but dev tools like blender unity photoshop the focus is not more fps. For games use game ready
Very helpful, left me with no questions at all🎉
Dude, I hope you are reading this. You are such a big help for giving the comparisons between those two drivers. Your video really helped me alot especially there was no available Studio Driver for my NVIDIA version I have here on my laptop to use editing software like Adobe Premier. Again ...THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Short and simple video! Very informative too, thank you!
its like flash from the present and flash from the future arguing in front of you to choose which one of them is the real flash
Thank you for this helpful and informative video. Now I finally know which driver to choose! :D The quality of the video and your presentation was very professional. I particularly liked the way in which you asked the right questions throughout the video. I've seen a number of videos on TH-cam and I can honestly say you certainly have a gift for this.
Thank you!
Awesome video. I use my rig for Davinci Resolve Studio 18 and I also game occasionally. I was looking for a direct answer. Initially thought I could have only one driver resident on my rig, but I now see you can switch between the drivers depending on the application. You answered my questions concisely. Thanks!
For future reference, look at it this way.
If it's for a workstation application, it's a professional tool.
If it's for gaming, it's a toy.
Which would you rather use?
_Very Accurate and Well Said!_
*Recommended Video for SIMPLE EXPLANATION*
I've had this question for a while, and in 3 minutes you answered it concisely, thank you!
This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much!!!
Great analysis, instant like and sub! I’ll stick to studio mode most of the time for doing work and gaming on the side.
Answered my question in full detail. Thanks man!!!
With the STUDIO drivers, the video rendering takes sooooooo less time (minutes vs. 10-20-30 minutes).
Tested both drivers. One of the advantages ;-)
Really? What GPU and what soft?
@@FragMentt RTX 2070, Windows 10, Davinci Resolve.
My laptop came with the "Studio"-Version of the card/system.
I also tried the game drivers, as mentioned, and rendering takes way longer.
I switched to the studio driver because Adobe kept telling me to every time I opened Premiere and After effects. I'm glad it won't have much of an impact on game performance.
thanks for the video buddy it actually helped me out a lot
Nvidia recommends to use Game Ready Drivers for both gaming and creating, but the studio one performs way better than the game one.
There's a simple way of looking at this kind of stuff.
Things that are related to workstations are professional tools, stuff that is related to gaming are toys.
Just amazing. Your results and clean explaination was good. Thanks a lot for the effort and deligence put into the video. im sure a 3min video was backed with days of research.
Great video. I spend a lot of time in adobe apps but I also game some. This video gave me all the info I needed to decide the studio drivers are right for me. Thank you!
Studio driver resolved an annoying issue with my HP Omen 30L with HP's own 3080 installed. Good to hear that I won't suffer performance loss, as I'm not playing the latest games.
TY BRO!! Really Helped!
This video was made while keeping in mind of what the viewer actually cares about, it makes it really satisfying to watch
I always thought that I can install both drivers at the same time lol. The moment my game starts to show black dots on character's faces in rdr2 my driver preference was set to studio. 🤣
cant i download both and switch between the two?
@@reivous5306 yes, simply switch in the settings
@@reivous5306 i thought we could switch :( it downloads it again after you switch. Ive seen them stating if you do both. Better use game ready. Also the studio doesnt really make sense. It hardly shows any Adobe app. For me it only showed illustrator, while i have photoshop,. after effects and premiere as well. perhaps thats card depended
This really helped, thx man.
I don´t understand.. Why can´t you have both? or at least combine them to make one good driver so there is no need to install and uninstall all the time?
maybe because to do that you need a hardware change which means earlier graphics card can't perform that.
I use davinci resolve to edit and I have to say that the studio drivers are better because it use to crash when using the gaming drivers
I believe using the Studio Driver also unlocks a few features if you have an RTX GPU and the Studio version of Resolve.
I did not know you switch between studio and game drivers. Thank you.
Dude nailed it! Keep the content coming man.
Thanks for the video, to the point, informative and no bs.
you`re life saver. Thanks for the straight to the point video!
thanks alot dude!!! this helped alot xD (im a lowend gamer who makin their first buy on a GPU and had no clue what driver to get) no crash is the way!! :D awesome!
turns out there is no SD for the one im getting so my comment just failed x'D but helpful info nevertheless!!
That was amazing! Quick and easy explanation, congrats! Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
I'm by no means a youngling, but definitely a padawan. Your teaching method is excellent. Concise and to the point without having to drum my fingers through a half hour of useless information to get to the answer I'm looking for. Great video, kid! It earned you a sub. (A "subscribe", not a sandwich. Although, I'd buy you a sandwich if you wanted one)
Thx for the video, cleared that topic up for me!
Great video. I had huge problems with stability with the Game ready drivers. I had crashes on idle and full use with weird graphic glitches in between. All went away with the studio ready drivers! Thank you for explaining why!
Great info, just got a new RTX 2070 super and i play games and use Solidworks too. Looks like the Studio drivers will be the best for me. Thanks for the info..:)
very underrated channel from long time. thanks for the video
straightforward good points!
Kind of a rare thing nowadays..
It's important to consider that certain programs can have issues with different drivers, Davinci Resolve has issues with game-ready drivers in my experience
What about premiere?
@@nicholasolivas317 wonder the same thing
Thankssss! Everything I needed to know!!
So pretty much use the Studio driver 100% of the time? I almost never sit waiting for a new game to drop, & typically only play with friends are playing.
As far as I can tell, unless you're regularly playing brand new releases, Studio is the way to go.
@@AlteraSound Yeah I was having stability problems & instantly after switching things started working better. I had no idea studio driver was even a thing until 12 days ago, also it was nice that if gave me the option of updating without getting geforce bloatware for my PC.
Thanks man, you went straight to the point, great video!
straight to the point and quicklyl, good work thanks
It's sad that there aren't more videos dealing with this.
As is often the case when we look at things from the perspective of workstation vs. gamer, well one is a professional tool, the other is a toy. That's how I tend to look at it.
really helpful and gave a good explanation on the difference. cheers mate.
Short but full of information video, awesome 👍
Premiere Pro kept crashing on me and I couldnt figure out why. Turns out I had the latest game ready driver installed instead of the studio ready driver. I swapped to the studio ready and just like that no more crashes!
Fkcn awesome video thanks man. Only resource I've found that answers the question evvveryone wants to knows about these drivers. What's the difference, how do they compare, and which to use. Mega thumbs up :)
really good informative video, i found this to answer my question.
Thank you so much for explaining. Very straightforward
I chose the studio drivers without doing much research and I’m glad I did
This video was really helpful to me. Liked and subbed.
Thank you, straight forward and decisive, great video
The studio driver will decrease the processing of some operations and transfer it to the CPU so it will keep you away from software crash when you are rendering your video or 3D projects. So, you will notice that the studio driver has a little process load on the GPU than the game ready drivers.
As "Tall Guy Films" said, Studio driver offers a more reliability and stability while you working on your projects.
I am unable to lunch a game when I have studio driver installed. It asks me to install correct driver so i need to reinstall driver every time i want to use Studio drivers... is there any way to bypass that? And thanks for the video mate, nice one!
This was exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you
i use studio as a gamer and i am really pleased with stability, of course i lost fancy options but most of are useless anyway
On Point! Thanks buddy.
thanks for that great tutorial. You have collected a nother like on this video :D
Perfect answer for my question. Thanks for the video.
Glad to help!
My screen had flickering issues with the lastest game rdy driver, i switched to studio driver and it fixed it.. THANK GOD i was freaking out
Clear points, thanks for the info.
sharp and clear thanks...it helped me lot to choose for my unreal engine...thanks
Great video!! Let me add an other difference to what I personally experience on RTX 2070 Super. First time installation of a Windows Mixed reality headset failed on Studio driver and what happened was Windows used it's own generic display driver instead which is not qualified for using such a headset so the operation failed time after time. It went fine only when I changed the driver to Game ready driver, so I can see the stability issue is a factor but obviously it is very rare. I wish I could keep on using the Studio Driver with less impact on CPU.
You didn't really say which you should choose as a gamer though. I practically never play brand new releases and only update my driver a few times a year.
I went to update my driver today and I saw the studio driver and the game ready driver are the same version and released on the same day. So then the question becomes: Given the same version number and release date, which would be better for a gamer?
If they released on the same day with the same version number, does the gameready driver contain the same amount of stability as the studio driver? I would imagine that they would update the gameready driver with the stability tweaks from the studio driver. If that's not the case then wouldn't it be better to install the studio driver, even if you're just gonna be gaming?
Thanks for the clarification, I thought we were able to use both drivers but kept seeing that I would have to reinstall the other not knowing only one can be used at a time
Thank you, that was helpful information.
Thank you. It was very understandable and informative!!
Really helpful Dude. Thank you
That really helped thanks man
Thank u too much, that was really usefull ididnt know that
Keep going bro
Spot on video. Thank you for your help.
Great Video, very helpful.
This video was super helpful they straight up broke multiple applications with the most recent game ready driver for me so I guess I will switch to studio drivers due to stability
Also 10 bit option is a good decision for creative work. While editing 10 bit videos, using studio drivers
Thanks bro
Ty for sharing the knowledge brother.
Glad to help!
Your communication and teaching skills were excellent.
So helpful. Thanks mate
Thank you for your video it was really helpful!!!
looks like I am sticking to studio now. Especially after the latest game ready driver screwed up Davinci resolve and made it unusable.
same here
Did the different drivers fix the problem?
it works with studio driver for me - Resolve 17.0B
@@SabzAndMasenko-TheKitchen yup. All perfect now
@@Ballissle thanks man. Just changed drivers and can confirm it fixed resolve for me too
Always use studio drivers - best for gaming and editing as well ❤
Great info. Thanks.
This video was very helpful
You are saving us A DAY of work, thanks a LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for explaining in detail
Useful video, thank you.
My PC is randomly freezing since I put a second monitor. Also, at the same time, I installed a graphics tablet, but I don't have to be using the tablet to have problems. It has never happened to me while I'm playing, only for when I'm not doing anything intesive. So I'm going to test if the drivers can fix this.
Use ddu and reinstall drivers
Thanks good job on the video dude.
Thanks for the video. I have an exception concerning stability using Solidworks. At work we use Quadro P2000 wich crash from time to time due to issues with open GL or the Nvidia drivers. At home though I use a GTX 1070 and never encountered the same issue.
From my experience after the 517.40 update today the studio driver seems to work well for me noticed a difference in game the image is more clearer. And now I also get to run 1080p in war zone before I couldn’t. I would have to change it to 720
Looks like I'm switching to studio drivers. I have ben having issues with Affinity apps with flickering and stuff. Looks like I won't be losing performance.
If I don't do 3D art, should I even bother with the Studio Driver? I do 2D digital art + I also game, so I figure the Game Ready driver is probably the only one I need.
switching to studio driver as my photoshop crashed for the nth TIME TODAY! Hopefully this will fix hahaha! good video lad!
Did it help?
@@nayanjomi5966 it seems like it holds up for now!
I playing on Studio Drivers, I recommend.
