has it been pulled ? The download from nvidia UK comes up with 404 error when hitting download. File size too says
"File Size: Temporarilly unavailable"
might be worth hanging fire a bit.
geforce.co.uk is doing the same.
Wonder if they found an issue with them.
Update: just checked nvidia forums and stutter problems etc being reported and its not available on US site now.

I downloaded and installed it. Haven't tried anything yet.

see previous post.
Thanks for the update, it looks like the driver is fine, they just made a mess of the install options.
Soldato
still not back up how long does it take them to fix a simple tick box option. I smell something else going on.
I'm not sure if they are fixing it but I seem to have a problem where the GPU is going to very low MHz when idle - and not coming back up immediately on activity like it used to - taking a higher level of activity to "wake it up" to a higher power state. Causing some choppiness and stutter in some applications.

Thats what I was reading about on Nvidia forums earlier and one other forum reddit maybe.

How did this driver pass validation? Clearly rushed to make a deadline.
Soldato
The Nvidia site currently allows me to 'Search' and 'Download' the latest driver from their page. So I'm assuming it's now fixed?

Noticed this too, set mine to “prefer maximum performance” in control panel and seems ok now.

Whats the best way to update, as not been Nvidia since the 8800s, is it Programs and Features to uninstall previous, or just install the new, and go for a clean install or something ?
Also, do they keep your 3D settings, or do you have to redo em ?

Keep the link as it auto updates for each new release.

Are the latest drivers fixed now ? Can you install without GeForce experience ?
Maybe check the post directly above yours as I presume they are just the driver.

Wots the performance like with these driver and wot is this latency thing all about .
I've not played much yet but my initial observation seems to be with low latency mode off I get around 5% performance boost over older drivers, with it on I'm getting around 3% lower average performance compared to older drivers but the games I've tried so far like The Division feel noticeably smoother and more precise to play.
Low latency mode tries to get the GPU processing the latest data as fast as possible basically but sometimes comes at a slight cost to performance or smoothness but can be beneficial for input latency.
