**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

[benjii]

Apparently these drivers NV deliberately caused to cripple Kepler and Fermi cards

The story continues................

Now AMD and Nvidia users finally have something in common!

I've been having problems with my Nvidia drivers crashing at the desktop for the past week

 

[PiKe]

I see nvidia dropped support for a lot of older cards, 8, 9, 200 series just to name a few,how is this going to work with Windows 10 as the 8.1 drivers cause display corruption.

 

[Phage]

Currently running 350.12 and NV Experience wants me to update. When I do, the system no longer recognises the dual link DVI cable !?
Rolled back and all is well again. That's just plain odd.

 

[Gregster]

Well I have been running these with a Titan X and a MSI 970 and no problems at all. Rock stable for me (not together of course)

 

[On Holiday]

My Sony Vegas Pro crashed a few times since using the new drivers, was fine before..
Crashed when I was just previewing clips, not even rendering. Changed it to render from CPU after it crashed for the third time, didn't want to risk another crash or video corruption when it takes up to 30 minutes to render..

TX and 970 ? You using the 970 as dedicated Physx or is this about 2 different rigs ?

CUDA is borked with Maxwell in Vegas Pro so all rendering is done on the CPU unless you're on Kepler or prior

I won a GTX 970 in a competition I thought about selling it but then decided it would help my channel to run new games on that and then on the TX (or vice versa) and this would show what people can expect from either. All I need now is a 290/X and I can give fair bench results for both AMD and nVidia

I have done a review for the MSI GTX 970 Gaming Edition as well and that will be finalised tonight and uploaded tomorrow ready for a nice new competition to win a few game codes.... Took over 2 and a half hours to encode for a 20 minute video

It's not that they're unstable, they just wont use the dual DVI link

2 and a half hours ?

What type of bitrate do you use on your videos ?

I tend to do a max of 20mb as anything over YouTube destroys anyway and there isn't any difference.

Running 30Mbs and double pass. After lots of trial and error, that seems to give me the best quality but it is slow plus there is a couple of other enhancements going on as well. With the original Titan, it would have been under 20 mins.

Im suprised there's no dedicated DX12 thread, but anyway, do we have any more info on the stacked vram DX12 /Vulkan rumour? (I.e SLI/Xfire vram stacking)

 

[VincentHanna]

Before Titan X SLI that would've been awesome.

Now I'm not sure I need 24GB VRAM

Well with NVLink and 8 Titan Xs running 9x5K monitors, you might well need that 96GB of VRAM

 

[opethdisciple]

Does DSR work with SLI?

The 352.86 drivers are terribly unstable on the desktop. I've been getting regular messages informing me that the driver has stopped responding.

 

[Boomstick777]

^^

No probs with latest drivers here, desktop / gaming are spot on. That's using a Single Titan X.

No probs here either. Are your cards OC'ed?

 

[Ayahuasca]

I was getting driver resets as well on desktop or browsing, I should have probably tried a reinstall but the last set of drivers are perfect for me, I'll wait till the next batch.

 

[thefogo]

I keep getting driver resets and black screens also. Having to roll back to older drivers.
