And considering the LED was an indicator as to the status of G-Sync, then why should we ignore it - it is a function of the monitor which has been made redundant.

Exactly. Nvidia need to fix this asap.

Well it's most probably more the way the EC in the monitor communicates. The screen was manufactured at a time when obviously Windows 10 didn't exist, and NVIDIA have had to make changes to the way the driver works to incorporate the new operating system. There isn't any load being placed on the G-Sync module so I don't really see it as an issue.

Gaming Technology
Supports G-SYNC technology in windowed mode, offers both G-SYNC (V-SYNC on) and G-SYNC (V-SYNC off) options, support for Ultra-Low Motion Blur (ULMB) in the NVIDIA Control Panel, provides Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) for notebooks with discrete GeForce GPUs, and optimizations and bug fixes which can provide increased performance for Kepler-based GPUs.

nVidia on the ball

pgi947 · 31 May 2015 at 23:48

Not just a few fixes and 980Ti addition, ULMB is now applied via NVCP.

W3 doesn't appear (on the surface, a few mins testing) to have gained much of anything, PCars how ever is now firmly lodged in three figure frame rates.

Thanks trying them now

, Hopefully will fix the desktop crash the last one had for me

varkanoid · 31 May 2015 at 23:52

hope its not a Disarrrrster like the last one.

NB they have moved the dynamic range again its on the change resolution screen now sure it wasnt there before.

Just gave the drivers a whirl.

Running Witcher 3 @ 4k with 780 3 way sli.

Was hitting around...35-40 fps before, now up to around the 50-55 mark, everything fully maxed out (except no AA)

Its too much difference to be a placebo effect as well, now..do i still want to buy me some 980's....

Ayahuasca · 1 Jun 2015 at 00:06

Drivers still crash on desktop and browsing for me.

So I'll retract my previous post and say nVidia definitely not on the ball.

Nice, will update OP.

Ughhhh

I installed 352 this evening to test GTA V and then removed them because they were just the worst... really bad.... How???
It had been said in here mind you but R* wanted it done for my ticket and anything to amuse..

Revert back to 350, No crashes!!!! ummmm

In fact GTA V is now running better than before I uninstalled them earlier...

NOW!

Log back in here and there is New new drivers!

AAgghhh!

Lol, Nvidia release drivers all the time, and AMD hardly ever do.. You just can't win !!

triss · 1 Jun 2015 at 00:51

Drivers like the last one for me, crashes on desktop and starting some games rolling back again

yashiro · 1 Jun 2015 at 01:17

These crashes on the desktop are very reminiscent of the 275/300 driver branch transition. Is anyone with a reference 980 getting these random crashes?

Nocky24 · 1 Jun 2015 at 01:27

Just tried 353.06 - 5 minutes after a restart I got the dreaded driver stopped responding message like the last driver set :rolleyes:

Try again Nvidia.

I wonder if witcher runs any better on my sli 780tis..might put me off getting 2x 980tis

breathe3asy · 1 Jun 2015 at 02:13

Looks like I'll be skipping these drivers too then, thanks for the reports

I'm not for one second debating what anyone else has said, nor am I white knighting for nvidia.

But for my 3 way sli 780's I have definitely noticed quite a large improvement in the witcher @ 4k.

As I said above, I have gone from around 35-40FPS up to around 50 stable.
