    gotta love nvidia. no change of the surround+sli config settings on their website that instruct people to connect displays to both cards, yet connecting to both cards (if your using an hb bridge) hasnt worked since 368.51 (june 2016). This in turn prevents proper downclocking of the cards so unless your cool with wasting a bunch of energy and having your card idle @ 50c+ you get to use MDPS which creates issues of its own. Win for everyone!

    Not mentioned as an open issue of course. Nor is the netflix stutter that is present to varying degrees in every driver since almost the beginning of time. AMD has finally fixed it. Course to be fair, with AMD's newest drivers in eyefinity the non "main" display wont sleep properly since 17.7.1 crimson ~6 months ago.

    Blecgh. The moral of this story, DO NOT go surround/eyefinity. Go accessory display if must, and carefully consider SLI.

    Using them all together = aids.

    Apparently, I tried FIFA 18 and Dota 2, both performed quite well & smooth.

    Just tested the new Vampyr game along with R6 Siege, FC5, Devision, AC Origins & NFS Payback everything running smoothly with no issues whatsoever. Keepers for me.

    Thanks for the headsup.
    Does anyone know if this driver also enforces "GeForce Experience" with a "free of crap" method? IIRC, they started doing so with 397.93.

    you can edit setup.cfg file and remove these 3 lines and you don't have to have GF experience inside the installer.

    towards the end,

    <file name="${{EulaHtmlFile}}"/>
    <file name="${{FunctionalConsentFile}}"/>
    <file name="${{PrivacyPolicyFile}}"/>

    credit goes to one user @ guru3d in 397.93 thread.

    Well its easy to edit cfg, but yeah I agree, very shady stupid move from Nvidia.

    Heh, just spotted while installing those:

    Some guy(i.e. gamer) looking on screen, and, well, when u look at that, it looks like Minecraft, where 1080Ti real shines :D

    Have NVIDIA *still* not fixed that Gears of War 4 issue?????

    I remember seeing it mentioned, what, something like a year ago. That really is quite shocking! Feel sorry for anyone on a Pascal GPU who bought that game and is experiencing that issue trying to play it. :O

    What on earth are NVIDIA doing? Why is it taking so long to fix? Is it because their DX12 driver is simply not up to scratch?
