V-ray & Vantage GPU Drivers

[matthew_matuska]

I primarily use V-ray for Rhino for architectural work, and I wanted to try out vantage as this could provide a lot of clarity of spaces to be able to walk around/ record animations.
I was having some issues with my GPU rendering in V-Ray so I rolled my drivers back to the recommended driver version of 461.09.
I went to open Vantage today and got an error message:

Your video driver version 461.09 in not supported!
The recommended version is 466.11 for GeForce and 462.31 for Quadro

I was curios to know how chaos recommends drivers?
Is it to say that new drivers are not as stable as the recommended?
I am also curious to know what the community does in terms of updating drivers beyond what is recommended.

This is my first post on the forums... be gentle with me....

If this does not belong here, I can move it/ take it down!

Hi matthew_matuska,

It appears that 461.09 is not working well with Chaos Vantage (unlike V-Ray GPU), hence we are advising other driver versions for Chaos Vantage as indicated on the error message. The recommended drivers have been thoroughly tested but that doesn't mean that any newer driver version won't work or would cause any issues. That being said, if you do encounter an issue with any driver version, please report back to us so we can troubleshoot. Much appreciated!
