320.18 Nvidia Drivers - Report your issues here

62 8400 GS cards still operational. No crashing or problems found.

1 system now running older drivers as a precaution because I had to re-build it anyway (WMI errors).

cba to rollback that many machines tbh.

btw I realise someone called me a full retard on the other thread.

We re deployed our OS image and I installed the latest whqls for the nvidia cards the day they were released.

My good old 9800GTX+ has recently start to randomly turn off display/black screen in pass two months...I wonder if it has been killed by one of the few recent drivers...

Sounds more consistant with BGA solder failure, it plagued the later 9000 series cards and 200 series and thats fairly typical symptoms.

Ha, just got an update from NVidia to update to 320.18... as if!!

Its getting quite annoying, even if you discount the fact that these drivers appear to be killing off people's GPUs theres enough reported big issues with them they should have been pulled days ago.

As one member said, pulling them means Nvidia is at fault.

They don't want to admit it, though I agree with you!

The problem is though if they do that then in peoples eyes it will be an admission of fault and the damage will be done, even if it turns out its not Nvidias fault or that the damaged GPU's are unrelated peoples minds will chalk it up to Nvidias fault.

By way of an analogy, in the UK the was a big scare a few years ago after numerous parents reported their children had been made autistic by the MMR jab, this lead to a lot of scaremongering with a doctor even claiming to have proof, it was all dis-proven and that doctors research discredited yet even to this day some people refuse to let their children have the vaccination on the basis that medical sciences failure to find a link isn't proof the isn't one.

That's the kind of damage that can be caused by unfounded accusations if you don't deal with them correctly, Nvidia has acknowledged the issues some people are experiencing and is working with users to try and determine their cause which is all that can reasonably be expected of them.

As per my post tho theres enough real issues aside from the GPU killing potential to pull them without even having to admit to the rest, the fact they are working with users to get to the bottom of some of those issues alone is enough of an admission theres big problems to warrant pulling them.

I feel they would have pulled them but the 780 has no other driver than the 320.11 (iirc), which is the same drivers as the 320.18 but not WHQL certified.

Edit:

On saying that though, it would have taken one of the devs a few minutes to alter the 320.00 drivers for a 780.

It might be because 320.00 seems to work in the same way as 320.18, if this is true from NVidia's position all they would be doing is moving the problem from one set of drivers to another.
 
TLDR the last few pages.

I updated to the latest drivers last night and played a couple of games. Looks i see no difference from 314.22 is the 320.18 just optimisations for 7 series and Titan?

Why did you update after being warned not to?

What is it with some people :o

Seriously people DON'T UPDATE, WAIT

Perhaps maybe he weighed up the performance increases of the drivers versus the tiny chance of running into issues and decided to roll the dice? I'm fairly sure adults can make decisions for themselves :P

I've only used one other driver for my GTX690 so want to try a new one to see if there are any performance benefits. Also it looked to be a bit of an exaggeration with the issue so i tried it whilst monitoring temperatures, looks good to me.
Can't notice any performance differences though.
