**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Here's another on those leaked drivers

Witcher 3 kept crashing on me every 5-10 mins with these drivers, latest patch and card at stock on Win 7, went back to .49, no crashes after several hours.

MSI 980 Ti

I think I'll stay on .49 till the next proper build :p

Just out of interest did you try changing the power management setting to performance for W3 in the Nvidia control panel.

I'm still using 353.30 with no issues.

Andi.
 
It's ALWAYS on power management to performance, I'm not a new computer builder :p

But thanks for the advice any way fella :D

353.49's are fine

leaked builds are not

hah yeh

We regularly say to our team mates in teamspeak when they have computer problems " Have you tried turning it off and on again " in an Indian customer support tone :D

Nothing wrong with turning it off, I ran an IT support team for many years and that bit never changed. :D
 
Time to go back to stock and overclock manually, no bios.. See if some of these games are pushing the gpu harder = crash.

EDIT : Interesting, using a core clock of 1550/3800 with an increased power limiter, +30 volts in MSI and no BIOS mods the score is still pretty high in Heaven/Valley. Looks like I'll have to test this some more, but what I did notice when I accidentally shot the core above 1600 in my MSI I got the same flat grey screen driver crash as before when it was running at 1570 Hmm

But why is it doing this now when it's been fine for months, in my old system?

Dunno...maybe it ties in with what 8pack said the other day about Nvidia decreasing the ability for overclocks with each new driver. Wouldn't surprise me.

Its about the only thing that makes sense if they are doing something which is resulting in cards on the edge of stability with a given setting now dropping out in some cases - would be consistent with why I'm unable to reproduce it - my 780 has a non-standard power setup with higher unlocked voltage bins, the gtx675 is likewise a custom board design by Samsung with more headroom than the reference boards and my 470s always had massive overclocking potential without touching voltages, etc.

I'm using the leaked drivers and have had no Witcher 3 or any other crashes on them(Windows 8.1).

The only issues i had with my Ti since i got it were not really issues as it turned out, just different to how my AMD card did things.

No it just stays using that much memory even when not recording, even then Its never used this much ram before :\.

If you have ShadowPlay on (not recording), it is still recording so to speak, as you can hit a hotkey and it knows the last 5/10/20 mins of gameplay, so this is why it uses a good chunk of ram.

Could well be, as I was reading on guru3D today, that people were having high overclock issues in the 353 range yet with the 350.12 no such problem
