**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Vimes said:
Whilst I'm not diminishing the relevance for some people who feel the need to try and stop that from occurring I'm happy enough to carry on with a std set of drivers and untick the bits that I do not need.
If it is about the data logging of the drivers performance then that's sounds reasonable to me.

The conspiracy theory is that Nvidia are spying on what you are doing.

As i said the main thing for me using them is to reduce the number of processes running.

The guy who created it is effectively unticking more items and creating a smaller installation package.

Who started that?
 
The high refresh rate/high clock speed bug from a few years ago seems to have returned with the latest driver, On my 165Hz monitor the clock speed on my 1080 Ti constantly stays at 1493MHz, If I lower the monitor to 144Hz it goes down to 139MHz instantly.

I don't have that bug at the moment but i did see it like 2 drivers set ago on windows 10. Currently running win 8.1 and no issues and everything is fine and dandy.

Which one? tearing at the bottom or completely turned off?

the lines flash at the top and bottom occasionally. Had to turn gsync off but i've send loads of diagnostic info to nvidia

ohh, havent seen that one before. Well not that it is of much help to you but the latest driver set works fine on my win 8.1 install including gsync. Have you tried a redux install of the drivers? Ive done that for ages now and ever since i started remove most of the **** from the driver package most of my problems has went away.

Yeah i've tried. From my understanding the g-sync issue happens in certain games running borderless window mode. But also there's the possibility that also running multiple monitors with different refresh rate to the g-sync monitor is causing it.

Could be a problem unique to Windows 10, I can replicate it instantly by switching between 144Hz and 165Hz, 144Hz sees the GPU idle on the desktop at 139MHz even when browsing the web, Switch to 165Hz and BOOM 1455MHz continuous even while idle on the desktop.

Weird, using the LG atm and don't have this bug at 165hz...

(I do however have another bug that's doing my head in!!)

Is that a bug? I thought that was normal for Gsync.

My other 2 panels don't suffer from it at all, just the Predator XB, so don't know whether it's driver/firmware issue?

Whatever it is all I know my end is that it takes a system reset to go away, thankfully it's very intermittent and thanks for the feedback as wasn't sure if it's signs of a faulty panel, because this panel has zero backlight bleed.

Interesting you mention this.

A mate bought a 1070ti and a Acer Predator 27" about a month ago.

He recently sent me a video of a band down the right hand side of the monitor which changes colour to the rest of the screen. It's like it's a part of a different panel.

He contacted the seller he bought from and they RMA'd the screen for a new one and yet this new monitor also shows the same issue. We've changed everything except for the GPU.

But it could be drivers?
