**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**
- Thread starter Boomstick777
- Start date
Windows 10 Fixed Issues;
Improved the framerate consistency of the R370 drivers in VR games and applications.[1804037]
[372.70, GP100] FPS limiter broken in R370 drivers in windowed mode with high FPS.[1814275]
[372.54] Corruption in Overwatch decals. [1816111]
- Enabled Fast Sync for Maxwell GPUs and the Extended, Clone, and Surround multi-monitor configurations.
- Support for updated BatteryBoost technology.
- Enabled mclk switches on 144 Hz G-SYNC monitors in multi-monitor use cases in order to lower power consumption.
-Support OpenGL VR SDK 1.4 (Windows).
- Added a Windows cross-API interop between Vulkan and DirectX 11. This enables Vulkan app compatibility with existing DirectX 11-based HMD runtimes.
- Added driver support for DXGI 2 VR.
- Added security updates for driver components.

This is normal. Just Nvidia's way of encouraging you to buy their latest iteration of cards.

Are you over clocking the card? If so then that is most likely the cause.

I thought you were aware of Fast Sync already? sure I'd seen you post on it.
It allows the application to render as fast as possible while the end point of the GPU only selects the frames that it can display without tearing - which results in the lowest possible latency while using V-Sync type functionality where normally the end point controls how fast the application can tick over graphics rendering.
TBH it is kind of ground breaking if you have like a 75-100Hz display and a GPU setup capable of rendering a good bit faster than that as it gives responsiveness in games much closer to a 120+Hz display without any tearing (though still not quite as good as V-Sync off for input latency).

Yeah its a good thing.
I can't find the settings for it, unless this is it? its pretty discrete.

Right, 
so i just run my games with V-Sync off now and i shouldn't see as much tearing as i would without this?

Thanks....
Any of the drivers for the GTX 1080 before 2 August 2016 when Windows 10 Anniversary Update was released.
So go here http://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers stick the setup you have (windows 10 64bit and GTX 1080) in the lists and search drivers and it will list them all.
Version 368.81 is the last none Windows 10 Anniversary Update driver. So I would install that one and see how it goes and if a problem try a later one after that and so on, but i'm sure that should be fine.

144hz desktop flicker issue fixed in 373.06?

Many people claim it is not. Driver development team my ass is what can i say.
I did a work around to fix this issue here but driver to driver varies . Really don't want to waste time to figure it out every time.

Another pathetic driver from Nvidia.
Not fixing still the flickering and artifacts at desktop when 144hz monitor is used.
On top second driver in row where the benchmark scores are lower by 5% than previous driver. Making 10% loss since 370.70

Really? What is the current best driver for benchmarking pascal pleasE?

Is the fast sync feature only compatible with windows 10?, Also can it be used in conjunction with G-sync?
