Nvidia driver 416.76

Hi

I have came across a link for new unofficial Nvidia driver that was posted on intalian forum.

@cookieboyeli, link for the forum;
https://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showthread.php?t=2861362&page=298

LINK for the driver:
https://nvcc.s3.amazonaws.com/416.76-desktop-win10-64bit.zip

 

pd: I don't even know why I'm downloading them. I only have a pair of Kepler xD.

 

Very nice thx alot

ps 700+ mb ?

 

Neat. Ye, I'm also surprised at the size of the driver, but looking at the extract .. The driver itself without bloat, is 424MB.

Otherwise it all seems in order;

Spoiler: Extract

 

The usual exe is about 350MB.
When you extract that you get about 1.2GB.
After deleting the garbage it's 441MB.
After 7ziping it properly it's about 330MB.

That is just poorly zipped from someone who doesn't know how to compress files properly.
It also downloaded pretty slowly. I was only getting 3 - 5.5MB/s

 

So is this WHQL, a Hotfix or something else?

 

It shocks me that you guys are so O.K with downloading and installing an unknown driver from an unofficial source (an Italian forum?)

The whole lot of you should be backhanded for being so naïve

 

Who said anything about installing it.. There are ways to inspect a zip file safely y'know.

 

Seems in order so yeah np with italian forum links

 

Yea I'm not comfortable with it but I'm experienced enough to handle anything thrown at me.
@Krzyslaw you should have linked your source. It's borderline stupid not to. If you don't want to, give some explanation as to why. This is basic communication here. It doesn't matter what your first language is.

My first impression of the driver is it's legit. I checked a lot of the files out and dug around in it. I guess it's 316.76 WHQL Win 10 x64 leaked ahead of time as OP says.

 

Likely a pre-release leak for the next WHQL.

 

Just installed it and did a benchmark on it even gain some points hehe left this driver right the 416.34 driver https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/16980916/fs/16905166

ps and nothing fishy about the driver

 

This is what you call margin of error. The only times you'll see increases are on the first few drivers on a new series or when they make a major change like they did around 334 or something.
Any changes besides this are a product of your system and other variables influencing the score, not the driver.

 

This is just my intuition, but I think this is a Hotfix driver, possibly related to 20-series;

Here is my guess; This is a driver Nvidia sendt out to troubleshoot the BSOD related to refresh rate on monitors with the new 20-series. And this driver got leaked.

EDIT; Oh, I should totally have checked the video description.

 

Apparently, it's also available to download for latest Windows Insiders.

@Angantyr
Watched that videos earlier today, but thank you for sharing!

And find what? Viruses?
I doubt many users can find malicious code in hundreds of pages of disassembler.

 

Not gonna dispute any of that. I was just thinking along the lines of extracting & scanning it in VirtualBox. That's all.

 

Scanners search for patterns. Bad guys could just inject code (for example for remote access) with pattern unknown to scanners. And since they would have many time to work with files at their rigs, the attack could be both simple and non trivial. And then users would run the code in the kernel with privileges of NV drivers/services.

 

I'm sorry but I wait for the official driver release..
I want to know what has been solved with the new version..
