Nvidias latest 2 drivers are bad

they forced my computer to restart everytime i launched a game in full screen..

i had to completely wipe all trace of the drivers before my machine was fixed..

they are rotten.. thought id warn people..

probably only 10% effected this way but still..


368.XX < Are the drivers im talking about.. specially the hotfix.. hotfix seems a tad bit worse

 

I'd stay away from 368.xx & 364.xx

still using 361.59 atm, all is well.

 

im using 362 and its perfect

 

The hotfix was a lot worse for me, I had to reinstall windows. 368.39 resulted in lower performance in some areas of fo4 and one level of doom 2016 at worst. Windows Update force installed 368.20 on my PC, I threw my hands up and just installed .39. That stub error some people are facing seems like a total PITA though.

 

Disable windows auto drivers.


I cant believe NVIDIA released drivers that had such a bad effect on my system.. I trusted them so much that I didnt even think about the cause being a driver by them.. I went through my entire machine.. before finally someones like you should wipe drivers.. so I did and problem now fixed..

this is AMD quality of drivers lately

 

No problems here on windows 10 64 legal + 368 driver.
I do always a clean install with GFE and i have try all drivers from the release of the gtx 980 ti. The only problem that i had was with one driver that set the refresh rate to 24hz, mybe cause i use HDMI?

 

No, this is NVIDIA quality of drivers. AMD cleaned up their act.

 

Nvidia wtf?

:3eyes: My problems started with using the new drivers after 1080/70 release. Why would you work so long on a new microarchitecture and as an after thought release such a ****ty driver for it? Half ass a driver release is not a good business model! Who are you now Intel? Get off your fat, lazy brains and separate the drivers.:chainsaw2: One for the new Pascal cards, and one for the Maxwell setup. There you go you glutton of a company Nvidia. Do something for all the money you make us dish out for your product!uke2: I read on the Nvidia site that the problem has something to do with the back door, (how appropriate)and the other parts of the drivers/program that run on auto gumming up the works. I am not savy enough to figure all that out so I just went back to 368.22 and have no further problems. I have gtx 980 and win 10 pro, legal versionc1: Make this right Nvidia:3eyes:

 

368.xx drivers are excellent to me... give me a good performance and everything is full stable

 

368.xx are working flawless for me, no issues with any of my games, etc.

 

depends OS windows 7 not good this last driver and 8.1 and 10 run fine

 

Sounds like an out of date OS issue.

 

That's funny. I have not found one driver to date that runs rock solid fine on windows 10. Still in search for it but Quadro are the closest I have found to date. In fact the hot fix I did not installed since the one before black screened reboot sucked for me. Did not have this problem with 8.1.

Buy the way what in the world is meant by "windows 10 64 legal" is this the version with all the backdoors mentioned later in this thread :bang:.

working perfectly to me in windows 7

waiting redstone final build to install windows 10 here

 

I'm not having any issues whatsoever with my 1070. I'd try to rollback to older stuff but i'd need to mod the drivers, but I don't think it's that bad.

 

Yeah, probably only 1 and that's not a percent is affected by this.

 

Same here.

I believe some people are complaining, but are still using windows 7...

Using an outdated OS will start causing more problems as time passes.

 

windows 7 is an, "outdated" os now?

 

No problems here. Really good actually. w7u 64bit.

 

Thats with latest windows 10 build. Legit. All updates.

MSI brand 980

U can also read many peoples complaints on reddit..

avoid the driver.. dont risk your hardware!! stay on stable builds until nvidia pull there finger out!
