**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Well, it's 100% MSI AfterBurner that's causing my issue. I disabled low-level monitoring and FireStrike Ultra will still crash after a few hours.

I tried EVGA PrecisionX this morning, and FireStrike looped for 3.5 hours before it crashed with " Error:
Workload Single init returned error message: DXGI call IDXGISwapChain::SetFullscreenState failed [-2005270494]://////The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver.//////DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE". I was not running any sort of overlay, FRAPS, LogMeIn etc. in the background.

I guess I just won't be able to overclock my 980 Ti :(

EDIT: After reading this, I'll try to run FireStrike in windowed mode with PrecisionX open in the background. Don't think my issues are related to the Nvidia drivers so I'll stop posting in here :)

As Nvidia release each new driver even more things are placed to stop overclocking. Be aware of this.

Mmmmmm

I think that has been the case since 350.50

My card has issues overclocking on the GTA drivers (decreasing stable drivers) I get no artifacting only driver crashes.

What drivers do you prefer to use?
 
I recently bought a GTX 970 from OCUK and was getting driver failure when using Chrome. Just browsing and even when it wasn't in use would crash. BF4 is a prime example as you usually leave the browser open.

Just disable Hardware Acceleration in Chrome settings - this fixed it for me and so far (1 week) no more crashes.

EDIT: Just read here https://forums.geforce.com/default/...eforce-hotfix-driver-353-49-released-7-8-15-/ that the driver fixes Chrome Crashes/Freezes/TDRs

i was getting the same with gtx980 then i went back to 344.11 driver with no problems there after
 
I'm getting nvddlmkm errors in pcars. And had 1 with tomb raider after the game being on for 3 hours, played for 1.5 hrs.

I've ocd it to roughly 1450.

Gonna give up with MSI afterburner and just try a mild oc with the MSI gaming app. That'll take me to 1380.

If that keeps giving me errors the card might have to be returned.

Never had a problem with my 680 sli. Never seen this error myself before moving to the 980 ti.

The recent hot fix driver is working perfectly for me.

As for what 8pack said, I think he might know what he's talking about!

I have no opinion on that but not seen any change in overclocking or overclocking potential with my 780 with more recent drivers.

I'm still extremely puzzled how the more recent drivers can affect one person to such a degree and yet someone else on an ostensibly identical setup can be completely unaffected.
