**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

if you using shadowplay and it is defaulting to 1080 even though you selecting other resolutions 2k/4k.turn on recording desktop or turn it off and set it again.it looks like its a overlay issue.

may help some.
 
I bit the bullet and installed the latest driver as have the quake beta...so far it seems to be working great with no problems at all :)

Well looks like the disgusting windows 10 update function automatically updated to the latest nvidia drivers. Now on my laptop whilst booting up i get a distorted screen for like a second. Will i have problems if i uninstall and revert back to my old drivers?
 
No, you can't. I don't even have the option after the Anniversary update and the group edit "fix" doesn't work either. The last time Microsoft decided to mess around with my drivers they installed a older one than the one I had installed!! I am sick and fed up with the lack of choice in what get's downloaded with Windows 10.

Probably not, but windows will probably update them again.

Fortunately I don't have this behavior. However what it does do is auto install drivers if I uninstall them. so I have reverted to unplugging my network cable whilst I uninstall/reinstall new drivers.

I would agree, it is a bad situation. would be nice to have a simple toggle option to turn it off. but Microsoft are forcing security updates and drivers on users to shake the image that Windows is insecure and performance poorly.
 
You can try this registry hack.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> SOFTWARE –> Microsoft –> Windows –> CurrentVersion –> DriverSearching
Change the value of “ChangeOrderConfig” to 0.

I just looked and I am now on the latest Windows 10 version (with Game Mode) released the other week or so and the option is still there just with slightly different wording ?

Windows 10 has never updated my GPU driver for me. Pretty sure I also have the option as Varkanoid above.
 
Are 381.89 WHQL effecting overclocks?

I don't know if its the drivers or something else, i'll start from the top. yesterday i reinstalled Windows, i had some strange mouse lag going on, sometimes when coming out of a game the mouse pointer would lag on the screen, it never did it in game, it never did it in 3DMark, or any Unigine, it didn't do it in FurMark......
Stress testing CPU-Z it would do it for the first 10 seconds and then be ok, stress testing the GPU in AIDA64 and in Luxmark while running RealBench tress test, infact the nVidia driver would crash running the latter.

Thinking it might be a problem with the GPU i taken it out and ran CPU-Z stress test while running on the iGPU, it was still doing it, its not the GPU.
The GPU is actually new, MSI 1070 Quick Silver, i got it just as the Windows anniversary update was out, so i just couldn't compare before and after, so i uninstalled the whole thing, once installed again i installed 381.65 and tested with CPU-Z, Luxmark....
Perfect, the mouse lagging was completely gone, yesterday i installed 381.89 and tested it again, no problem, today i did notice a very very slight bit of lag when coming out of FC4, about 0.5 of a second, i tested CPU-Z stress testing again, 0.5 seconds of mouse lag, so slight if i was not looking for it i would not know it was there, as long as it doesn't go back to being as bad as it was before i'm not worried about that.

So, 381.89 overclocking, what this card does, strangely when reaching its overclock limit is not artifact or crash the drivers, it shuts down the application thats running, 3DMark, for example, just stops and it says "Canceled by user"

With 381.65 the GPU would run happy with +100 on the core, +400 on the memory with +100mv... 24/7 clocks, yesterday playing FC4 on the new 381.89 drivers the game just stopped, i found myself on the desktop with no info as to what happened, so i put it through Unigine Heaven, half way through it stopped, (Before all that i was playing BL2 and Day Of Infamy for 3 hours with a friend but they don't put any stress on the GPU) so anyway the first thing i did was take the +100mv off and retested Unigine, it passed, i played FC4 for any hour with no problems...

I don't know if its the extra voltage that 381.89 doesn't like of the 20 or so Mhz i got from them, frankly i don't care as 20Mhz is literally nothing when already running past 2Ghz, in fact it does almost 2Ghz out of the box, i don't actually get anything like the +100Mhz i set, people say the RX 580 or even the RX 480 are running near maximum, that they don't have much OC headroom..... PHAA!!!!! they get a lot more than i do with both the Pascal cards i have had :D

Anyway... what do you guys think? :)

This maybe what i was also experiencing but i couldnt put it down to drivers.. only thing i have changed in the last week was Windows creators update..

BF1 in DX11 has halved in average FPS
Mouse feels laggy in windows
dragging screens around windows also feels laggy

Reinstalled windows on Monday and still experiencing similar thing last night... games where just randomly closing with GPU overclocked (Which has run the same overclocks 24/7 for the past 6-7 months) also noticed overlay software like CAM would not load on any game which again was working fine till this all started.

Its either something in windows or game mode.. something defiantly does not feel right

Display Driver Uninstaller is effective at killing automatic driver updates on Windows 10. I'm not sure exactly what it tweaks, but it certainly stops it happening.
