**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Do we need a separate thread for the latest drivers? Proper looking good :p

Wonder what game they are talking about?

We’re now offering over $100,000 in prizes to registered GeForce Experience users. Prizes include three of this year’s hottest titles, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate , Call of Duty: Black Ops III and a third title we can’t tell you about yet (but it’s awesome). - See more at: http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2015/11/04/geforce-experience-holidays/#sthash.r3MG8w1u.dpuf

Everytime l update my Drivers l always choose custom with clean install.

Also l don't install the 3D Drivers as l don't need them.

i was doing that but from now on if i remember i will not be doing it as its a ball ache remembering which driver i was last on when the new driver is just ****. rollback from device manager is so easy but only if you dont clean install. lol.
 
358.87 (Win10) I had trouble installing. Not had this for ages. Whether I did it normally (via custom) or custom/clean install ticked it failed to install the driver.

Had to manually uninstall them via control panel then install. Bit strange but working fine after that.

Just updated my drivers to latest via clean install no 3d drivers, no problems at all.
 
OK, no idea what the drivers are doing (I'm on win 8.1) but I am getting stuttering which always resolves when I roll back the driver or reinstall it. It will not do it for a few days and then will come back. It is always fixed by either doing a restore before the stuttering or reinstalling the driver. It's almost as if the driver makes things unstable over time (BTW tried my gtx 970 in my other pc and same pattern occurred with the drivers). Temps, etc are all fine on my card.

I had something similar to this and it was sending me bonkers. The last thing I thought it could be was a bad driver. How can something work and then not with no configuration change?

Anyhow it was happening on the desktop for me, everything felt delayed and unresponsive, I also tried dota2 and got the weird stuttering as you mentioned. Switched off BIOS OC settings, no difference. System restore, no difference.

Uninstalled the nvidia display driver doing a clean install and the stuttering stopped. Bizarre but it did the trick for me.

Yeah I did the same, but the fix only lasts so long.:(
 
Oh dear.... installed 358.87 on my Mothers GT 530, now it has corrupted lines and BSOD.

Went back to old drivers and it does the same thing.
It was working perfectly before i updated the drivers and now it only works without drivers.

I think i'll get her a nice little R7 250.
