**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Just to add more controversy to the thread, I've been using 353.30 since I got my 980Ti and have not had any driver related crashes, except probably in FarCry 4, but that could just be the game from what I've read.

Generally speaking though, I've never had any major driver problems since first switching to the green side with my 580. The worst I've had is game freezing and crashes to desktop, but those could just be the game.

Heck, I've never had stability problems with AMD drivers either.
 
With all recent hassle with PC, faulty hardware. Drivers not working. Games broken at launch, rising cost. Fanboys, errrrrgh..

I do genuinely consider ditching PC for gaming at times (Like today), and just using console. In the times I do get to play a game, it would be great to spend that time playing the game and not trouble shooting, i.e editing files just to make the game playable, finding obscure drivers to make sure game doesn't crash. Having to upgrade to get more FPS :D

I like PC gaming, but I do honestly wonder is it worth it anymore, am I enjoying it? Not to mention the unhealthy upgrade addition that comes with PC gaming for me lol.

I found myself look at 4K monitors and then contemplating GPU horse power... This has to stop haha :p

Christ, I can only the imagine the hassle of getting games to play nice at 4K..

5930k & SLI 980ti seems to be about right for 60fps 4k for me!.

I know what you mean, but looking at the graphics on my PS4 it looks just terrible in comparison to top end PC graphics @ 4k.
 
I just received the dreaded "this driver has stopped...." while watching Netflix.
Is this a driver issue or is it the card? So far I've received the same message in Netflix, Witcher 3 and Ark.
I swear I never had this much trouble on a single AMD card :(
 
My 780 hasnt liked a driver after 350.12. Threw the stock bios back on it today :( , Adding volts seems to make it downclock now compared to older drivers,, 10 mins later back on skynets and back to sweet. Hopefully win 10 and new drivers will be a good fresh start

I have been an ATI user for the past few years after quite a while away from Nvidia and I never experienced anything quite like this. But then I saw the 980Ti and wanted to join the green side again but so far it's pretty much been a big disappointment.

I'm sure there will be ATI users laughing pretty hard right now at Nvidia.

Might have AMD users doing that but definitely not ATI users unless you are using a X1900 or some such card. ;)
 
So I'm getting the whole 'cannot change settings in Geforce Control Panel' issue. I see a few fixes on the web, but it is basically a driver/GFE issue that will be resolved by updates?

Shouldn't GPU-Z say DX12 not DX11.2 under Windows 10 ?

Where do you see Win 10?

If you're on Win 10 -
dxdiag.exe shows DX12 WDDM 2.0

To be honest...

I have that and I wont update to resolve it as my GTA experience since it happened has been the best since launch.... including using Vsync in game and not in NCP.... constant 60 fps

Can't say I've tried Windows 10 yet, but people seem to be having a good experience on the .62 drivers then? :)

I took Windows 10 off last night and put Windows 7 back on but I think today I will try Windows 10 again with the .62 drivers and Windows auto update off and will report back if they are any good or not.

From my personal experience so far Windows 10 and Nvidia are playing havoc with each other and I can only put that down to the automatic driver updates which must be causing some conflicts or something somewhere.
 
I've been using Windows 10 since March of this year with my Titan X's.

To be honest I've had so few issues with it. The early builds had a few issues, but since about April it's been great.

People on Guru 3D are reporting memory leaks, SLI issues etc.

I've not had any memory leaks (even with Arkham Knight) and SLI has run flawlessly for most things.

SLI was a bit dodgy for Witcher 3, but then I realised the game when patched had defaulted back to running in Borderless fullscreen which doesn't work properly with SLI anyway...doh!
