    It's turd driver for BF1. The performance drops a lot from 70fps to 30 fps. Re-rolling back.

    and I thought this was supposed to be the driver optimized for BF1?

    Anyway:

    Telemetry remains with the latest Driver 375.86

    Is that with G-sync turned on? I experienced this with many games on these newer drivers. Project Cars would hike down from 130fps to 60 and back up again for no reason.

    the only problem that I have is in sli mode bf1 is flickering a lot!!!
    but in single card everything seems to work great.
    to be honest the flickering thing started after origin update the game,even when I had older drivers.... :(
    and I thought maybe if I install the new drivers I will end this...but....I think its origin problem

    What did you guys roll back to? This driver cause problems if I tried to use EVGA precision on my desktop and BF1 wont launch if I run MSI afterburner on my laptop. 375.63 was working for me, I guess I'll re install that one.

    It's drivers like this why I'm still on 373.06 and likely will be for months.

    edit: I guess NVIDIA saw my post, now I can't play BF1 on 373.06 anymore.
