**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Slightly off topic, but has anyone else taken a small hit in 3dmark11 scores since upgrading to Win 10 (upgrade install currently)? Can't exactly recall my older graphics scores with 353.38 on win 7 (currently on 353.62) but my physics score has tanked 550-650 points...

Very strange, although I no longer play BF4 but I have not had a single problem on the 350 branch on W8.1 or W10. Been fantastically solid here :confused:

You do much gaming on PC these days Gregster?

I used to play BF4 a lot, now it's the occasional game of Witcher 3 on PC. Which I do think is worth having a decent card for, awesome game. Although I think I may never finish it.
 
Fellas, what are you doing to get BF4 working then?

Got two 980s here and im getting what seems to be the memory leak error.

Hold out and wait? Got to admit im not overly impressed with nvidia, iv'e been struck with the TDR chrome issues and now this when I want to play bf4!!

Blue screen is not normally down to drivers and is something hardware related. I see you have everything stock, so check temps everywhere, check the PSU as well and make sure you have the latest BIOS for your motherboard.

whether it is hardware or software I just want to get to the bottom of it. I actually wish it is hardware related as it is simple to fix then as software requires more investigating. I'm installing applications one by one and testing Battlefield as I go along.

I've not got a fresh install of Win 10 and so far have installed

- GFE with Latest nvidia drivers and the game ran fine.
- Uni Xonar low latency drivers for asus stx and the game ran fine.
- MSI AB with RTSS. I'm going to apply the same overclocks I had before and test now.

Other things to install will be
- Logitech Gaming Software
-HWinfo
-Aqua Suite

I do a fair bit but with my shifts at the mo and me doing plenty of OT and keeping the Mrs happy, not as much as I like. I am playing Life is Strange at the mo though and it really is stunning and if you like adventure games with a strong story, give it a look. Also gone back to Dreamfall Chapters and played through almost every possible story line but no real time for much else :( Bring on the Winter I say!

BF4 was always a strange one and that was a game I played a lot and seemed that some or all of us were having issues with but blue screens were not one of them.

Can you list your complete PC specs please and we will see if we can't find the problem.
 
newest driver wouldn't install in my pc (win 8.1) via experience and it screwed up my previous driver so had to manually redownload and install the previous one.

first time i've had a bad experience installing nvidia drivers in about 10 years!

This is the crash I am getting

xyVex6pl.png.jpg

I've uninstalled GFE - Still crashes
Disabled Aquacomputer monitoring - Still crashes
Reduced my overclocks - Still crashes
Disabled HWinfo - Still crashes
Stopped AVAST from running - Still crashes

I am going to go back to default clock speeds and see what happens. Otherwise it could be MSI AB, RTSS or the drivers causing something

If you ever figure it out let me know, i get the same thing.

One thing that did help reduce it a lot was to reduce my CPU overclock. has not completely cured it tho.
 
I've been getting blue screens and kernel crashes with 355.60 in the last few days, Nvidia really needs to sort this stuff out. Their last few releases have all been buggy and crashy.

With a fresh install of Win 10 not an upgrade I've not had a crash so far in BF. I've not activated Shadowplay, not installed HWinfo and Aqua suite yet.

I'm using the same overclock speeds on my 980ti 1500/4000. I'm now going to unlock voltage monitoring and control in msi ab and see if that affects anything.

Noticed game was stuttery and I crashed just by activating that after 15 mins or so. I was having a good round too and someone accused me of having an aimbot in bf3 lol

Going to turn it off and see if it is that setting causing a problem. Getting somewhere and I hope for me atleast that setting is the culprit.
 
Third time crashing in FC4 now. I'll be going back to Win 7 tomorrow, I'll let others beta test Win 10 and drivers until a DX12 game is out I want to play.
