**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

AWPC said:
Newer drivers are very buggy I have the dreaded black screen bug which makes the entire display go black & you have to hard reset to get it back. Thought it was the monitor going but turns out its the newer drivers lot of people on Nvidia forums have the same issue on GTX10XX series cards especially! Looks like Nvidia broke something fundamental & have not worked out how to fix yet.

Thanks, I'll probably uninstall and try the previous driver again as that worked fine for me.

No, just the one.
 
You got Afterburner and RTSS, see what's keeping it in high 2D Mode!

Edit may not work, only for 3D Mode.

Yup, using afterburner here. I had assumed that it only did this after playing a game or something equally intensive, but having come home a few moments ago, I booted up my machine and saw the same elevated clocks as before.

Closing down afterburner and then restarting it sorted it out, however.

Going back to 388.00 for now.
 
Nvidia GeForce GameReady 388.31 WHQL


Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases,
including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up
until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best
gameplay on day-1. This release is optimized for Star Wars: Battlefront II as well as
Injustice 2 and further optimizing Destiny 2.
 
The 388 branch all seem to make my 1080 Ti memory overclock slightly unstable, with white spotting in some games. It was (and is) fine on 387.92 and prior.
 
On 388.13 at the moment and I was wondering why my CPU usage kept going up while the screen was off... turns out it was the Nvidia Telemetry, after I disabled the related tasks my PC properly idles now... Is this normal? During idle while the screen is still on it doesn't do this.

Not sure, playing around with 'Power Management Mode' within Nvidia's control panel, I noticed that an idle Skype could bring the card upto ~1585 when 'Prefer Maximum Performance' was selected.

If you don't use all the bloatware that is included in the drivers, just install the bare minimum. Manually extract (using 7-zip or similar) the following folders Display Driver, HDAudio, NV12 and PhysX along with the following files EULA.txt, ListDevices.txt, setup.cfg and setup.exe. Then just run setup.exe to install. No more bloatware, no more geforce experiance and no more telemetry.

That's pretty neat actually - didn't realise it was possible!

Thanks I'll keep that in mind. Sadly I do use GFE for gamestream to my Shield TV/Moonlight.

Also noticed since disabling the telemetry, my shut down times is considerably faster. And here I was thinking it was just odd quirks with my Ryzen setup...

Excellent tip!

Just done this method myself. Works great.

Nice not to have all the added crap.

Many thanks for that top tip. I didn't even know you could do that so followed your instructions earlier this afternoon and it has worked with no problems. :)
 
Has anyone else had a problem with the Nvidia control panel not saving settings?

Every time I turn on my PC either, Use Nvidia settings in desktop colour settings has gone back to application controlled or it's switched the Output dynamic range from Full to Limited.

Id use DDU and do what Wrinkly says above (great tip btw) but I don't want to lose all my settings.

If I saved the current profile in Nvidia inspector would that save all the individual game settings I've tweaked as well, so I could just import it after a fresh install?
