320.18 Nvidia Drivers - Report your issues here

Shame the other thread was closed, it's getting tough to find the error reporting in this thread now with all the arguing going back and forth :( Once someone does actually see something official from Nvidia or a third party vendor, or if someone has a driver solution for 7** series users please post it in bold yellow letters, thanks.
 
I'm starting to get worried about this, it nearly killed my mates cards, I dont want that to happen to my 780
 
This may sound a bit stupid, but my card is water cooled so I wouldn't know if it was overheating and I don't wanna buy BF3 just to see if I get corruption with it, does this look right to ppl? (these are max logs after gaming not a snapshot on the desktop):

(The orange/blue bit on the performance cap reason shows as "limited by operating/reliability voltage" and is normal as the boost isn't going to be limited by thermals or by lack of GPU utilization).

IMO thats too high, even on a warm day it shouldn't be touching 50c*


*GTX47/80 excluded, known to run upwards of 55c even on water.

Edit: which card out of interest? iirc Titans/GTX780 can run a little on the hot side compared to the 600 series.
 
I don't get these posts, if you are both so concerned for people's GPU's rather than defending Nvidia you should be making sure that these drivers are pulled. I don't see Humbug mudslinging.

What I mean is that even if there is a slighest chance that these drivers could damage GPU's than they should be pulled, no questions asked. In fact Gregster you gave out to someone for making a joke about someone's GPU dying. It doesn't matter if the GPU is old or overclocked, if these drivers break one GPU then it's one GPU too many.

And as for the comparisons with the stutter bug, thank god those people shouted about it because Nvidia took months to acknowledge it. Until they did the same old people on this forum were saying it wasn't an issue and what evidence was there.

I don't care if it's AMD or Nvidia, but if there is any possiblity to actually cause harm to a GPU or computer than they should be pulled and further testing should be done. As for this problem, there are too many users on various different forums having issues for it to be ignored.

I think you missed the part where I said I'm not interested in defending faceless corporations.

The reference to the stutter bug was that the same people were making out it was a world ending issue whereas in fact a tiny proportion were affected... the same as here. The key difference is that rather than ruining gameplay it's allegedly ruining graphics cards.

So your lack of understanding of those posts is probably due to your lack of comprehension skills as opposed to anything more sinister.

Surely without more information it is hard to make that call? Room Temp and the Size, Type and Number of Radiators in the system along with the other hardware is key. I'd be more interested in temp increase with the different drivers while room temp being consistent between the change.

My Titans have never been above 41c flat out on a hot day. Normally they idle in the mid to high twenties and reach the low to mid thirties benching.

It does not make any difference with mine which drivers I use 320.18 or 314.22 for temps.
 
Just ran the Tomb Raider bench with all settings maxed @1600p to see the Temp difference between 314.22 and 320.18

Cards were at stock and CPU was @4.0

314.22

Drivers 320.18 actually ran 1c cooler on two of the cards whilst scoring higher on the benchmark.:confused:

I know these runs are not the most scientific but I just wanted to see if there was a difference in temps between the drivers.
 
1c is easily within the margin of error so I think in your case at least its safe to assume that the temps are the same regardless of drivers.
 
Any forensic examination as to what's going wrong here, I've been round half a dozen mates downgrading furnace hot systems to 314

Have to be honest I have no idea as to what the cause is - I've been unable to reproduce it with a disposable 470 I have, I'm wondering if its a conflict with another pieces of popular software i.e. hardware monitoring/tweaking tools like MSI AB or EVGA precision and so on or if its limited to a version/service pack of Windows or something.
