**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

I never install the GFE(resources hog), i can always get my games better looking doing it myself, i want them to look the best they can, GFE usually just gives you better fps at the exspence of looks, thats a no no for me.
 
When adaptive vsync came out I was excited.

I thought finally I have a solution to tearing that my monitor suffers from. It didn't solve the problem.

Now with Fast Sync I am excited again. Genuinely. Simple things like this are revolutionary. :p

So far with two games I've played since the new drivers came out no tearing so it seems like it works.
 
I got loads of glitches in Fallout 4 notably in the pip boy (couldn't see the text). i then realised I updated the driver a week or so ago.. Quick roll back and all ok. I can't remember the last time I rolled back a graphics driver.

FastSync has a few issues but when it is working well it is very good - especially if you are on a middle of the road refresh rate monitor 75-100Hz or so it can be revolutionary in terms of finding a trade off between input latency and tearing though sadly it isn't a completely robust solution yet.
 
Any way to definitively test if G-Sync is working correctly?

I am suspicious that either:
1) One of my Titan XP's might be defective
2) There is a possible bug in the 372.70 driver
3) Over clocking the GPU cores (by 200MHz) may be destabilizing G-Sync somehow?

Best way to check, I have found is:

In the nvidia control panel, go to anything in the 'Display' Section. Then at the top next to 'file, edit and desktop', right click the display tab and select GSYNC indicator. When running something, there should be a OSD near the top left of your monitor showing GSYNC active or GSYNC inactive.

Adaptive Vsync doesnt seem to work that well on these drivers on my 1080. I get quite a lot of tearing, and fluctuating frames even though the card without vsync gets way above 60fps.

I'm only at 1200p and use a 970. Fast Sync is probably not designed for my scenario but my monitor is old from 2008 and tears a lot. If fast sync can give me tear free gaming then that's a win.
 
Bah GfE 3.0 gives me sporadic input delay/missing keystrokes when recording and rolling back to 2.0 for some reason now keeps auto updating to 3.0. might just get rid of it and use an alternative stupid nVidia.

I'm getting loads of random glitches as well. seems to be shoddy drivers at play again
 
I've uninstalled GeForce Experience for now - ShadowPlay isn't working as well as version 2 for me and some rumours of a potential security vulnerability in 3.0 in murkier parts of the internet.
 
I found that sometimes steam will freeze and the loading symbol will get stuck with GFE 3.0. To be honest though I only have it installed for driver updates so I'm just going to get rid I think
 
372.70 stuck on high clocks causing a fair bit of heat:eek:, thought Nv were bringing out the 1070's replacement early.:p

Rolled back to 372.54 and normal cool as idle clocks.

my msi 1070 works fine with the 372.70 (with the exception of one startup bug) and clocks down as it should when nothing happens. But i have seen this issue in other drivers and usually relates to a profile for a program that uses gpu acceleration. St
 
updated to GFE 3 for shadow play. Can't seem to switch it off like in version 2, so uninstalled it and reverted back.....

However I am trying to find a way of not allowing it to update, however I do not seem to have the files I need to gimp in order to stop it.

Not impressed.
 
I installed the new Nvidia driver the other day and the new Nvidia Experience, then I went back to my Witcher 3 game and crash, crash, crash. The nvidia streamer crap that comes with it was crashing my game. Uninstalled and from now on will stick to manual downloading of the drivers and avoid Nvidia Experience.

Or you could just disable streaming...as I have...and it works just fine ;)
