**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

I cannot stop windows from installing a graphics driver anymore after using DDU, it would normally stop windows from auto updating. Anyone know why?

Edit: i just unplugged the net while installing.. Annoying but works.

And Gsync still not fixed for Windows 10 with Spring update -_-
Thats now what, 4 months since mass update and 7 months for those who installed the preview?

The complain thread at the official forums is now 300 pages long.

And the one with the issue with sound over DP & HDMI with many freesync monitors is still ongoing since September 2016 also. (last time I checked more than 1000 pages thread).

I've being doing that for some time. Just disable the connection and then re-enable after updating.

What's wrong with Gsync? Works fine for me on my Dell S2716DG 27in.

Just had a look at the release notes and it appears to say:
Windowed G-Sync mode may stutter after upgrading to Windows 10 Spring Creators Update.

Looks like this is an issue that doesn't effect everyone though (hence why I've not noticed anything I suspect). No issues for me and I've had Windows 10 right from the get go and currently running the latest drivers.

Always difficult to track these sorts of issues down if it doen't effect everyone. Life..................
 
Windowed Gsync is not working at all for me with this driver, 398.82, even though the indicator says it's on (full screen Gsync works fine). With previous drivers it would work but would sometimes lock to 24 FPS. I have a Dell S2716DG and a Palit GTX 1080.

Windowed Has been broken since the Windows 10 update. There's a post on reddit stating it's still being worked on. It's been darn annoying, since I have multi monitor and usually play in Windowed borderless

Strange. Currently playing Windowed borderless in Dishonoured 2 and appears to be working! Gsync indicator appears and no screen tearing etc. Bowls along high settings at around 70/90 FPS. Seems pretty smooth to me. Odd!

Yeah it's a known issue NVIDIA have acknowledged, but it 's also game dependant. For example in WoW in DX11, it's broken, but it works in DX12.

G-Sync also says it's on plenty of times; but it's actually not working; and riddled with screen tearing and stutter in some games.

Can I ask why your playing in windowed mode?

Pillars of Eternity 2 forces borderless windowed mode even if you select full screen. They made this change in a patch and offered no explanation as to why they did this, I assume there was a reason. I can force full screen with a command, it's just I'd prefer to use windowed if there were issues with full screen that led to its removal.

Don't know if it is relevant but if I have Chrome browser open on my second screen(non gsync), which is usually playing a youtube video, whilst playing Elite Dangerous in borderless window on the main gsync screen, I get stuttering. However, if I use Edge instead of Chrome Elite is as smooth as silk. Something to do with the way Chrome uses hardware acceleration apparently. Don't know if it is directly related to gysnc, or whether it applies to other games, but may be worth trying if using the second screen for youtube while playing games.
