These constant driver crashes...
Gone back to 350.12 and also using a constant voltage at load, no more crashes. Seriously, these 353 are the WORST drivers I have ever come across and going by the geforce forums I'm not alone
Soldato
I've been using the latest hotfix driver on 2 separate systems without issue. A 980 in one, and a 980Ti in the other.
Overclock or stock clocked?
Soldato
Stock.
Thought as much, this mainly affects factory overclocked and overclocked cards because of the way the drivers are handling voltages at boost. Also as mentioned by 8pack re clocks.
Soldato
Well 980 is a G1 Gaming and the 980Ti is MSI 6G so they are both factory overclocked, but yes I did get a crash in TW3 last night when I had a mild overclock so what you say makes sense.
I'll keep them as they come out the box until a new driver is available.

Probably fixes the issues the previous 353.50 windows update drivers had - i.e. weird cursors.

So, turns out I have only one game that crashes, Borderlands 2. Seems to be a few people around with the same problem.
All the other games I play have been fine with the latest leaked drivers, 353.51.
So the only thing that's changed in my system is upgrading to a 780Ti from an utterly stable 670, both Kepler cards, so I'm thinking it has something to do with GPU Boost 2.
Hoping that the upgrade to Windows 10 next week will sort it, but not gonna hold my breath.
Shame, as it's one of my favourite games.

At stock clocks?
Soldato
Well, after further trials, Borderlands 2 is stable with stock clocks. One of those games that doesn't run with a manually OC'd card, but fine with the factory overclock.
Weird.
But at least I get to play it again!

That is strange, it's not the most demanding game graphically. PhysX on the other hand is pretty taxing in BL2.
Soldato
It is strange. I've been thinking for a week that I've been stricken by the dodgy Nvidia driver curse that's been afflicting a lot of people recently, but it was the game itself.
Of course, it probably still is the driver, but peculiar to that game only.
For example, I've just been running Dying Light for over an hour with a boost overclock of 1241Mhz and it's been fine.
Yet Borderlands 2 will cave in within seconds with an OC. Yet I ran it for a couple of hours with stock clocks with no issues.
Soldato
I did lower to medium from high, and it still crashed.
I'll try it again though, just so I know for sure, but reading around on the web, quite a few people are having issues with BL2 crashing.
I'm just happy with it running with stock clocks. It's not like it's slow with a 780Ti anyway
So far the NDA drivers have been good on Windows 7, both Nvidia's latest Windows 10 drivers have serious issues, mouse cursor problems. graphics corruption at desktop etc.
For Windows 7 though 353.51 seems spot on.

Where do we get 353.51?
