Nvidia GeForce 378.78 Driver Download & Discussion

hmm stay on 375.95 or upgrade to these?

 

I'm having multi-monitor issues with this driver where the program on the second monitor tends to crash a bunch. Rolling back to previous driver to see if this is really driver related. Anyone else having multi-monitor issues?

EDIT: Scratch that - it is no the driver's fault. Something else is going on here.

 

Is there any evidence to state 368.69 is better for maxwell users? and is that for gen 1 / 2 or both ?....

 

pretty unstable driver for me sadly, going back to 378.49.

got 1x Bsod with nvlddmkm.sys when playing WoW after about 5hrs, and started to even see some WoW Errors, tbh i never had really serious issues before, but this time it seems something got borked, system ran fine with the mentioned older driver.

 

What is NVIDIA Virtual Host Controller Interface driver , do I need it if I don't use Nvidia Experience ?
NvvHCI

 

Any point in downloading these drivers if none of my games are DX12?

 

Shader Cache is very important - Not only does it decrease stuttering, it decreases loading times massively as well. For the vast majority of games it is beneficial.

You shouldn't turn it OFF by default. Turn it off for your emulator if the emulator has issues with it.

 

What's the code? BlueScreenView from http://www.nirsoft.net/ is handy.
I've noticed these drivers do push the system more, so a BSOD could be expected if you overclock.
0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase/decrease vcore or QPI/VTT...have to test to see which one it is.

 

new branches don't perform well on maxwell cos i tested before. mostly likely both.

if i own maxwell, i'll still use the latest. if u didn't play any latest triple A titles then stick with 368.69 but 378.78 is really good too.

 

0x124 is a general hardware/software error.

It could be anything.

 

actually it was 0x9c, but i'm on the older driver already i'm sure now everything will work properly again

 

That's BS.

 

Jup, with new driver reviews even kepler performs better with new drivers.
The Nvidia donwgrade conspiracy theory is still here.

 

Any testing you saw that Kepler performs any better? I've installed these on the gtx 760 and card performs same as before, awful.

 

true, 980 here performing as usual, actually after w10 annyversary + new drivers the performance is better.

 

I don't know about better (most driver optimizations are going into Paxwell right now) but there is generally no performance degradation with newer drivers on Kepler - when there is it's a bug which is fixed after a couple of new releases usually.

 

and playing a little of deus ex MD, i can agree the performance is worse on dx12 on deus ex md by 2 or more fps, but the performance on dx11 levels are pretty damn good, so i'm keeping these drivers, if dx11 is perfoming way better than dx12 on every card that's not amd i guess i still can use my card untl evga or gigabyte launches their 1080ti custom cards, or amd has the balls of finally launch any damn card already.

 

Yes, of course!

 

Is anyone using this driver and Windows 15055 build? I can't seem to seek in Youtube without it hanging and then going green after 30 seconds. Disabling hardware acceleration fixed it.

edit: Seems to be an issue with Windows 15055 https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/9b1d1f62-759f-4125-8eda-d462cf229485/video-decoding-youtube-issues-with-15055?forum=WindowsInsiderPreview

 

Yeah I have it too. Chromium is the worst affected.
