Hope yours gets replaced soon bud.

Cheers mate have to wait now .

I was thinking about using it myself, but it takes like 10 seconds to do manually and at least I have piece of mind the utility is not adding in some dodgy code itself or missing something. Though to be fair, 99.9% I am sure it would not. But for the sake of a less than a minute

I did it on my last driver install. You extract and delete bunch of stuff. That it. Will be doing it going forward. Thanks @tommybhoy for the guide

Don't you also have to edit some files in the more recent drivers?

Oh yeah, there is a small file you need to edit. Forgot about that, I think it is 2 lines

Lol

Seems it is 3 lines. I have have only done it once so far, it was easy peasy and worked. Crazy how much rubbish is installed that has got nothing to do with the drivers.

Has anyone run into big problems with the latest GeForce Experience? It simply will no longer load. The previous updates work but the problematic update destroys itself.

With all the issues of GeForce Experience, I think I'll ditch it completely as this isn't the first time this has encountered.

I use those drivers and my win 7 64bit is 4 months old.
The games I have that are not steam do show up.

What you mean don't show up?

You keep up with Nvidia drivers more than I do and I have a nvidia card and you have a amd one (assuming you don’t have another machine)

Nah, just the one

 

[ChrisD.]

How do I go from full fat drivers to the scrubbed ones? Just uninstall, reboot, reinstall?

If you have the full fat driver on I would suggest using DDU to ensure all the bloatware is removed.

v417.22 WHQL Released.

These came out yesterday. So you are a day late!

P.s - Maybe placebo but seemed better in BFV.

These drivers have caused an issue with Hitman 2's Santa Fortuna level. Spent the last hour trying to figure the issues and come across a comment on Steam from a user with the same issue.

If anyone here has Hitman 2 could you possibly just check for blocky pixelated graphics on this level with these new drivers please.

 

[marcus_667]

installed any drivers just get black screen and reboot loop have to go into safe mode to use my pc at all

EDIT confirmed cards dead in another thread

 

[MiKeOnE10110]

Can someone tell me what the deal is with the different driver versions people are posting here, I'm seeing DCH versions, clean versions etc. What are they, what's the difference and is there any impact on performance in games between them? Cheers.
