nVIDIA GeForce Forceware 347.52 WHQL

Many people use it just for nothing, i mean, for that placebo game optimize settings. If u use it for recording, then yes.

 

I use Bandicam, the best.

 

Well I've not come across any game that doesn't have a profile included in the latest driver and IF it doesn't, I just use Inspector...ah sorry, Veteran beat me to it, yea same thing.

 

Since there is no way to discover what profiles were updated (except for check every profile before and after update, which is no way), I don`t care about profiles update. Also aside from application profiles there are 3d-surround (or stereo - I don`t remember) profiles which do updated too. (I don`t know whether SLI-profiles are the same as application profiles though.)

Thank you.

 

Agreed. How can nVidia be so blunt and not see this problem? Wow a popup said that something was downloaded, click here to confirm...and...what?

ADD and info box that says what was downloaded for Christ's sake. How hard can it be? Otherwise I don't see any reason to keep GFE since I don't use ShadowPlay. I'm only interested in the SLI Profile updates.

 

I'm having the same problem with GeForce Experience crashing. The above workaround worked for me, and I can go to the drivers tab for a second or two, and then it will crash. After that, it will crash every time, until I apply the above workaround again.

As long as I stay away from the drivers tab, it appears everything else works.

I went through and did a full uninstall of all GeForce drivers and Geforce experience, and reinstalled them from web site downloads directly from Nvidia, and the problem reoccurred.

 

I'll give these new drivers a spin later, the GFE issues don't bother me as I never install it anyway.

 

Gotta be driver glitch with GFE. I say this because I tried 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 and the same happened. Crashed it but it stayed open.

I'm positive its not GFE it's self but the driver acting up WITH GFE.

 

so far so good.

Dying Light works like the previous driver, and FC4 gives me a better
performance than .25 .

keeping this set for now.

 

So the way to go is to uninstall GFE, then install the package without GFE and prosper? A future update of GFE will probably solve the problems which can then be installed stand-alone.

 

Yes I know -and do- that. I am speaking for the profiles that are updated(or added) between driver releases. You remember when Nvidia was providing an update thing via control panel (some years before) ? That was the cleanest way to update all profiles but now we are forced to update only for GFE ( I say again, between drivers releases).

Another example is when you don't want/need to update the main driver but you want to add newer profiles and the updates for the current ones . I did that using 347.09 and took the new/updated ones from 347.25 via GFE.

I also did that now via GFE and using 347.09 I have the new Evolve profile



Anyway,GFE for me is only for adding new or updated profiles,even from newer drivers(we all know that a newer drivers is not always a better one..),I don't use any other stuff that it provides and never had any problems with it.

 

The profiles that they do update in between via GFE are mainly SLI profiles.

 

Quick temp fix for the GeForce Experience crash:
Set the value for LastTabIdx in the user.config file to 0
Avoid the driver tab at all costs, if you click the driver tab GFE will change the value to 1 and keep crashing until you edit the config and set it to back to 0 or another tab value:

Code:

<setting name="LastTabIdx" serializeAs="String">
<value>[COLOR=red]0[/COLOR]</value>
</setting>

Location for user.config:

Code:

 %localappdata%\NVIDIA\GFExperience.exe_Url_tgm3mttmt5itflhj0kykoi5xkjy53x4g\17.13.3.1\

The string value on this foldername might look different on your system: GFExperience.exe_Url_tgm3mttmt5itflhj0kykoi5xkjy53x4g

 

^ Yep that works for now thanks.

 

Yes we were able to reproduce this also. We are testing a fix.

 

You know I had the same issue, still have to some extent. Whilst that driver fixed my VLC issue I still have that issue in certain games, MGS: Ground Zeroes and Metro: Last Light for example.

 

Manuel is it true that added or updated profiles during drivers (via GFE) are only for SLI users ?

 

It is related to fetching info for the release highlights.

 

You would have a hard time prying this one from my dead hands Well hope these drivers do not have the same issues as the latest offerings, I am still on 344.75 which have been good but would like to up.

Well if you stream to a HD TV over HDMI and would like to SPDIF it can come in handy.

I do not understand installing just the driver and PhysX as I can not live without HD Audio :bang:

Hard to believe that GFE is so beloved. The world comes tumbling down, page after page after page. +1 to not installed you guys gave me a better way to turn off the LED on my card.

Regards

 

Need GFE nowadays for Shadowplay, SLI updates, and to control led on SLI bridge. Sorry old heads. There isn't a performance decrease with it installed so I really don't care.

How does this bug even get past QC..
