    Just installed 1803. Valley dropped back down by 400; Superposition dropped by 100. Gonna see if games are affected in a bit.

    From my experience, these drivers don't mix well with the latest windows update. Go back to the Far cry 5 drivers (391.35) and see your fps go back up.

    FPS has been consistent with previous releases on my setup. Why are you losing FPS on your system?

    Not sure. What version of Windows are you on? 17134.5?

    Same here, I got a BSOD CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED with a GTX 1050 on Windows 10 v1511. I returned to the previous driver.

    So it seems this driver behaves like a virus/malware.

    I gave 391.35 a shot. As far as benchmarking they were nearly identical to my first install of 397.31 on 1803. I then tried the newer (larger) set of the 397's and while still lower than 397 on 1709, this time not by much: only 100 pts down in Valley, but more importantly, the same min fps. 397 also gives me more max fps, but that's largely irrelevant to me.

    I'm not currently playing a game where this matters (read: an fps). Hopefully a game will soon be released that's not crap... or run on crap servers. /crosses fingers. But, I do like what 397 brings to Vermintide. They just look better and the effects are much richer, noticeably so. I've gone back and forth several times between 388.xx, 391, and 397. Hands down 397. Hopefully (knock on wood) I will continue to suffer none of the issues guys are reporting here.

    Yes. It is buggy, too many issues reported.

    No issue & quite smooth, except the MPC-HC FSE mode is freeze which related to Windows 1803.

    it's weird to see so many problem reports with this driver.
    as for me this is the best driver since nearly a year, because it finally fixed the one and only problem i had.. those dreaded firefox TDRs.

    You are just lucky, but the driver is unstable for the majority.

    Considering you have no idea about the 'majority' your statement is unsupportable. Have you considered updating to a more stable version of Windows 10?

    This is not lucky or not. During GTA V released with the game ready driver 350.12, I was having numerous of TDRs issue with my GTX 970 for the next 4 WHQL's drivers too with Google Chrome. Majority users also claimed is my own fault. Since then I didn't face any TDRs anymore with the GTX 970 until I sold it & bought GTX 1070.

    v1803 is smoother when loading games especially FIFA 18 & Alt + Tab out is more responsive than before, but I still having few issue like Dota 2 vulkan mode glitches, shuttering & MPC-HC FSE mode is freeze once I enter full-screen.
