If it hasn't been done I can do it?

It hasn't been done so far.

You got a 2080?

 

[ChrisD.]

I thought he meant a 1080Ti.

416.16 clean version

I am pretty sure the previous 411.70 drivers were causing my PC to shutdown during full load when rendering (not shutdown gracefully, as if the power had just been cut). This was with a GTX 1080 and the adaptive power management mode. I thought my PSU was on the way out but with the latest 416.16 drivers using the optimal power management mode I have not had that happen with ~ 2 hours under max load.

This latest driver locks up my PC. I'm not having any fortune with the 400 series drivers.

 

[atomic7431]

Not had any lock ups etc here with any recent drivers and my 1080ti ocd.

I think im just going to avoid this whole drama situation and stick to my 399.32 redux drivers and my stripped down w10 1607 ltsb combo as its working flawlessly.

 

[TNA]

I am using 399.07 and everything seems to be ok. Unless there is a new game that I want to play that benefits from new drivers, I will not be upgrading. Probably might stick with these until next year. As the saying goes, it just works!

What’s with these clean or redux drivers? Apart from a smaller package that takes out crap like GeFore experience, what do they do?

 

[Wrinkly]

Bit the bullet and took the W10 1809 upgrade before installing 416.16.

1809 did cause a couple of issues. Sandboxie which a beta patch sorted and WMC which had to be reinstalled.

No issues with the 416.16 drivers though.

I heard that the last drivers somewhat crippled the 1080ti cards. Is this still the case or has the issue been "fixed"? Thanks

Smaller chance of failure/conflict.

That was a quick addition, I've only just updated to a new driver yesterday. I think I'll update to this one as well just so I can lose the exclamation mark on the Nvidia tray icon.

My fix for the exclamation mark is stick on a working driver and block NV in hosts file and so far it hasn't appeared.

 

[VincentHanna]

So basically everything has gotten slower on the 416.16 driver.

Smaller chance? Shouldn't that be increased chance as your altering the drivers out side of what Nvidia intended. Removing things from the packages has a higher chance to cause issues than reduce them.

Nope. No driver alterations. Just removal of Nvidia's bloatware.

Nope. No driver alterations. Just removal of Nvidia's bloatware.

But all that is happening is you get a smaller download as you can select what items to install with package from Nvidia. I usually untick everything but the driver. Unless they tinker with the drivers too? If so I am intrigued as to what bloatware is in the actual driver itself?

 

[opethdisciple]

There is also a risk of malware.
