Anyone finding high CPU usage when visiting the driver download page on https://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers ? as soon as I go to that page in any browser my CPU usage jumps to 66%

Just tried the page and it's fine. (Firefox)
The orange bars bottom right on the screen show CPU usage.

@Kelt how many tabs do you have open!
TBH the 500 series have been out for over 7 years so cutting that isn't bad.

Most likely this will be a FF issue. I see occasionally massive ram usage. Only 3-4 tabs open and ram usage 4Gb+.
This then causes CPU spikes which manifest themselves as lag in the UI.
Memory leak in my case.

397.31 has major issues with the 1803 Win 10 update if you have a HDTV you must go via HDMI cable & not Display Port otherwise the display is corrupt.
This is similar to the years old bug around limited vs full 0-255 colour space bug but made way worse now as Win 10 insists on auto trying to correct it leaving you with a corrupt unreadable display!
Also for HDR you still need an active HDMI 1.4 or newer DRM motherboard onboard connector otherwise HDR will not enable even if you have a HDR GPU & Display you must have the onboard HDMI 1.4 video output present otherwise it refuses to enable which is so lame & it forces you onto an Intel based HDMI1.4 motherboard (cutting AMD out of the equation for HDR right now!).

Same here, on latest Chrome x64 beta though.
Fine here for me, CPU is idling around 2% on that page. Running Chrome 66.0.3359.139 (x64), current release.
Even just loading the page my usage doesn't break past 10%.

I'm on 67.0.3396.18 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)
On certain betas CPU usage was minimal so can't pinpoint exactly what's causing this.

I agree it makes no sense its totally bonkers! but here are the requirements direct from MS. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4040547
"The Windows 10 device needs to have an integrated graphics card that supports PlayReady hardware digital rights management (for protected HDR content), and it must have the required codecs installed for 10-bit video decoding. (For example, devices that have a 7th Generation Intel Core processor, code-named Kaby Lake, support this.)" This means any AMD based motherboard without that intergrated GPU slot on the motherboard is excluded from HDR until or if ever AMD can get their CPU's certified for the HDR DRM. Sheer insanity & excludes a lot of people from HDR on PC yet Xbox1X uses AMD & is HDR capable & even has native UHD playback from disc!
Its so bizarre in the end I gave up & bought a high end 4K UHD player just to legally play 4K discs I own as PC does not seem to want to support the 4K HDR market at all unless you only buy Intel hardwareYay DRM that lovely easy to get on with protection system that just makes trying to use all that expensive hardware you just purchased so pleasant and easy to use.

I think there still is only a single Internal Japanese drive you can buy to play 4k blu rays
There were also several LG drives which were cheap available outside UK for a while before they were replaced as they allowed non std playback...……….!!

Yeah its like they want to see UHD/4K and HDR dead
even just getting 4K playback on sites like Netflix, etc. is a pain.You're quoting the wrong bit from the link. You need to be looking at the EXTERNAL DISPLAYS section at the bottom.

That is for streaming ONLY though! For 4K Disc HDR playback & PC HDR gaming you need the PlayReady 3.0 Intel onboard HDMI connector which is why this is so crazy & bizarre a hardware requirement. HDR on PC is a real mess thanks to Intel's cartel stranglehold over the IT industry.
Just got my RMA replacement for my strix 980Ti....a 1070 Strix. Boosts to 2025mhz out of the box, is this on the better end of the scale?
Also besides a little performance bump am I gaining any other features moving from the 9xx series to the 10xx series?
