**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

I have had a few Blu-Screen crashes with the latest driver on my laptop, I'm now using 347.52 from the Asus site which are old but work without issue.

Nvidia drivers lately have been crap tbh.
 
No issues for me yet. Going to play Batman for a while and see if it runs ok on the latest hotfix? 353.30 ran good without hardware acceleration on chrome. Turned it back on with the hotfix. Will report back if I have any issue's
 
My card arrives on Monday :D - and I'll install 353.38. If I run into problems (my R9 290 has none so I'd be looking at drivers or a faulty GPU should they begin), is 353.06 the next best one to try?

For me it's 353.06 and 353.38, and then 353.30 in order of stability. Especially for gaming.

So um. Never had a problem with my 680 sli. never recall a single driver stopped responding in the 3 years I've had them.

put this 980 ti in and I've crashed (and recovered) while in Chrome. Then crashed in Project Cars just as my kids was playing...he got really upset (only 3 lol).

So I rebooted and stopped using Chrome for the time being.

I wonder if the PCars crash was related (due) to the previous crash and recover?

How disappointing...I do hope this is not the gfx card and only the drivers.

I have done a full uninstall and reinstall when I put the card in, as the driver I had was from beginning on May and didn't support the 980tis. That was durikng installation, not after the crashes.

I do hope NVidia isn't turning in to AMD!

Bit unfair to AMD as they are the opposite tbf, you don't get drivers as often but they don't tend to bring system crippling bugs. With Nvidia you get rapid driver updates but problems with latest few.

350.12 was solid for me beyond that and they all had issues. Can report that Fury X with amd-catalyst-15.15.1004 is rock solid.

Both camps get issues now and again. Nvidia will no doubt fix this soon. Then people will no doubt forget all about this and say AMD have driver issues again lol.

your right. it was harsh. just like stuff for £600 to work. when I dropped £800 on 680 sli and never had a problem. genuinely, its a bit dissappoting. Although I never play that many games.

I do hope it isn't the card. I guess the card being bad would be artifacting etc?

350.12 works well with Witcher 3 + Titan X and is rock solid.

Yeah I know what you mean. Your card is no doubt fine. 350.12 was a really solid driver, didn't have a single problem with Titan X / X99. Above that gave me weird issues with browsing, like locking and freezing, and Witcher 3 would just go back to desktop, like it would close itself. It's the drivers. Like there is some kind of conflict with certain progs.

I would stick with 350.12 and just enjoy gaming for now. Nvidia will sort this.

What are your frame rates like in The Witcher 3 with the 350.12 compared to the 353.38?

Couldn't tell you frame rates but it was nice and smooth everything turned up to max at 1080P with single Titan X.

If you are at a higher res maybe just turn hairworks off and keep everything else at max. Except sharpness because high looks horrible lol.
