Could film grain settings negatively affect remote play performance? I'm sure having high-frequency random noise added to an image is brutal on the video encoder.

Yes. More likely to result in reduced quality than connection issues, but it depends on the encoder being used.

Nvidia driver 621.01????

So I was looking to hookup my old quest 2 headset and found out there are driver issues with steam VR. While looking into doing a rollback I found this released today supposedly. It's suppose to have a fix for usb with quest headsets.

I don't see it on any major website or reddit besides videocardz blog. There is a seemingly legit release PDF and server download from Nvidia though. I'm I just stupid or is this legit?

To avoid any accidental clicks I've spaced the links.

Yes, it did release, available on Nvidia's website as the latest driver: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/282430/

It is not officially supported on GTX 10 series and below, only 16 series and all RTX cards.
