    Since I never had any kind of problems with 314.22 drivers, can I use them on Windows 8.1 RTM? Last time I tried them Windows 8.1 installed back v326.41.

    I'm using that one too, but I've got a couple of TDR and BSOD.

    Don't use 326.98 in Windows 8.1 RTM, it crash a lot.

    It has been released for Technet and MSDN subscribers. For the rest of the public it will be October 18.

    Thinking of making the plunge into W8, if I brought a W8 retail license now (x64 obviously) would I get 8.1 for free or are they charging for it again? I'm not sure with how many 180's Microsoft have done lately. I heard they were charging for it then I heard they were giving it away for free to current W8 users?

    So... what about 314.22?
    Nvidia's drivers are the only reason I can't upgrade to 8.1, because all drivers after 314.22 make my system freeze.

    That sucks.
     
  14. Just go with 326.80, running 8.1 RTM here and everything's working perfectly.

    EDIT: I don't understand how anything above 314.22 would cause your system to hang... that sucks, have you contacted NVIDIA support?

    It's a known problem, especially with 560Ti's.
    ManuelG talked about it on multiple occasions and there's a dedicated thread on the geforce.com forums (https://forums.geforce.com/default/...xx-display-driver-stability-feedback-thread-/).

    Next branch should finally have some fixes regarding this issue.

    I just went back to Windows 8. I need stability more than new features. I just don't understand why NVIDIA doesn't use 314.22 as a base and improve from there. Those are almost flawless but Windows 8.1 won't take them, always overwrite them with newer sh1tty version.
