Aye, they used to be really good with hotfix releases. This is a very poor show by Nvidia here.

**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Aye, they used to be really good with hotfix releases. This is a very poor show by Nvidia here.
So I just tried the 353.00 drivers. Thought all was well, no probs on desktop, fired up Witcher 3, all ran good and no crashes for 30 the minutes I tested (though previous ones were fine in games too).
Exit the game, back to desktop launched chrome, browsing and about a minute later............ screen dips to black for a second and I get the driver has stopped responding message
Have to do system reboot as if launch Witcher 3 after this, the fps are locked at 20.
Have now tried these mobile ones, the quadro ones with a modded inf and the official ones, and all are total arse turds and do exactly the same thing.
I give up.
What graphics are you running? If it's Keplar, Nvidia have said there's a known problem with it and Chrome and these drivers, not to mention Witcher 3 as well.
Kepler aye (780 Ti's)
I'm aware of the kepler performance in Witcher 3 nerd rage going on
but didn't know about chrome and kepler having specific issues. Got any links for this? From what I've read and seen this "display driver stopped responding" crash on the desktop problem is very wide spread across all cards...

Because they are officially supported on all cards
But hey you go and try those latest drivers released for desktops and see that works out for you
Do you even read?
Well I've just had 3 desktop crashes in 30 seconds using these 353.00 drivers. They seem even worse than the 352.86 for me!
They do 'work' and install on desktop though, not sure why manju is getting his knick knacks in a twist. If anyone fancies trying them they may work for you.
The 'best' of the recent bad drivers for me are the quadro ones with a modded inf. I seemed to have fewer crashes on those. Might try reinatalling again but can't be bothered really.

I rolled back from the 352.86 drivers earlier today and so far no crashing or display driver stopped messages all day. May just need to wait for the hotfix or new drivers and just skip the 352.86 ones altogether.
Do you still get it with earlier drivers?
Hard to say as it will now no longer show me anything on my monitors, I image its just coincidence and my GPU has died

Is the ROG Swift G-Sync light fixed?

No and going by the comments on the geforce forum, they don't intend to. A joke!
Nvidia seem to have lost the plot in just the last 2 months.
This Rog Swift Gsync light issue is really annoying. In the response I've seen from them, unless I'm misreading it, it says that on the desktop the little red indicator light is on but gsync is not actually active.
Well, they're wrong, it is. If you go into the monitor menu settings it says "Gsync Mode DP..." Which is what it says in games when Gsync is active. When Gsync is off (which you have to force via the NV control panel now) it says "Normal Mode DP".
So Gsync is on, all the time. Now, whether this matters or not I don't know, but I'm sure as hell sure it wasn't designed to be on all the time like this!

Correct. The comments I have read have suggested that G-Sync isn't actually active, it is just reporting to the monitor it is active! In that case Nvidia sort it. I shouldn't have to manually disable something which worked perfectly fine previously just to be able to use other functions of the monitor, or to know whether G-Sync is actually functioning correctly in-game - something which is now impossible without actually starting a game and visually inspecting for tearing or choppiness.

Yes, and the LED cannot be turned off.
