If you still encounter the same issue, please email me your dmp file(s) to [email protected] and state that these dmp files are from the 331.58 test driver and also if the behavior changed any (less stable, more stable, no difference). Thank you.

New drivers are very good.

Impressive score for a 780! Will have to run up the Titan with these

Thanks, I was lucky with this 780, it's a good clocker. Just seen the 'ti' version is supposed to have the full 2880 cores, must resist.. Must hide credit card ..

Gonna try these assuming they are different from the 331.58's I previously tried.

Edit: Infact never mind, lots of reports on their forum saying they dont fix the issue.

The latest drivers that came with shadowplay i think caused a bsod when not doing anything but browsing and listening to music. As generally i dont get bsod and thats the only change recently. So might have to revert to a previous driver or wait for the next update which hopefully wont take long.

Ha, I think they will tie them in with the 780ti launch, maybe big BF4 performance boost? Hopefully get a download before then..

[MooMoo444]

Ooooo! MOAR BF4 FPS!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Woop!

 

[Gregster]

50% in MLL

18% in BF4 will be a nice boost Now hopefully they will sort the damned game out (on saying that, not a single crash in the 3 hours ish I played yesterday)

Cheers Cosi for the link.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Looks like I'll be running up a few benchmarks again tonight lol

 

[havenrl]

I was thinking SLI profile for PathOfExile and then BF4 improvements.
