**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

*OP Updated*

Anyone able to test? Gregster?

I won't be getting back in till later.

Well there is obviously a bottleneck or an optimization problem with the game code in some areas of the map as my usage goes from 90 odd % to the 50's

Just Cause 3 running perfect on 359.00 for me, will update to .06 and see if it gains anything, sitting around 75-80 fps at 1440 with a stock 980Ti. Going to have to move from the highest AA setting as it induces some flickering (nothing too major) but Nvidia do mention that in their performance guide. So I'll loose that and DSR+FXAA the **** out of it.

Lovely looking and playing game, loooooooads of fun

Hmm, the performance upgrade in Just Cause 3 with these new drivers versus 359.00 on my GTX 780 is night and day. I was getting tons of stuttering and framerate drops before, now it's smooth as silk on the exact same settings. Hasn't dropped a frame since the switch.

Not sure if it is a driver issue or what but I've put the 359.06s on tonight and my CPU usage is randomly going through the roof on desktop apps now (spotify, chrome etc).

Just tried the SLI profile for fallout. What a complete load of rubbish.

Back to single 980. Performance was worse believe it or not, not to mention i got some sort of weird mouse lag, single gpu felt far more responsive.

Good job with SLI profile nvidia.

359.00 to 359.06 gave next to nothing for me on JC3 with a 980Ti, still sitting fine in that 75-80 region.

Seems to have boosted performance for me in Fallout with a single 980ti

Don't the Nvidia notes state that whilst they have implemented Fallout 4 SLI support, the game also requires a patch to make it work correctly?

I seem to remember a similar issue on Far Cry 4.

 

[Cosimo]

Another release without fault fixes.

 

[MooMoo444]

Damn, I was hoping Fallout would be good now. I was getting drops which is frustrating when you have a high end SLI solution.

Hopefully this is the case mate, however do not hold your breath.

The release notes just say a SLI profile was added for JC3 nothing else.

Yes I noticed that too

 

[Hiijinx]

Testing out FO4 with new patch and its definitely an improvement to where both my GPUs are working smoothly but still takes some massive FPS hits in town. Before frame limiting, I was only hitting 90 on mostly high settings and moments of 30 in busy areas. Better but still not ideal.

Looks like a patch from the Devs is required

359.06 just completely nerfed SLI for me, 2nd GPU wasn't even showing in NCP so couldn't enable it!

Tried two installs using driver cleaner..same result.

Went back to 359.0 and...SLI now working fine.

Not impressed.

No consolation but I have the same motherboard as you and my SLI works fine with the new drivers. Tried re-seating them?

Yeah, could be worth doing a clean install if you have not already?
Whilst I was not happy with SLI Fallout4 it did still work on other titles just fine.
