    Because NVIDIA knows what's really important to gamers.

    Does this fix the security vulnerability in GeForce Experience?

    Do not forget to post in the Nvidia forum after your testing is complete(You're my GP as you know :D). And prepare @Donald@HIDevolution for sending a courier to pick up the pieces. Fried graphics are not something you fix yourself :oops:

    For the moment, i gotta agree. Adaptive mode finally works good and my card manages to run cooler by clocking down (in-game) on GTA Online when full power is not required (my settings are so that it doesn't hit 99% constant usage on GPU which also gives more space to higher OC frequencies when needed).
    I expect it to be broken in the next days but who knows

    Yeah I noticed that Adaptive mode on this one is much better and switch between states faster than before. Also, I used ot have a bug where the memory gets stuck at low frequency and only a restart fixes it and I didn't have that with this driver so far.

    Windows Creators Update has been a nightmare for me.

    Also a very stable driver for me. This is the first WHQL driver in months that doesn't completely bug out Gsync on my P775DM3. Good overclocking performance and no noticeable issues so far.

    Driver seems good so far. The install was strange. Doing my usual "install everything but the 3D vision driver" caused ShadowPlay not to work. But redoing the process without GFE and installing that separately got it working again.

    It's this kind of aggravation that has me pining for MacOS again. If Apple would put even a GTX 1050 into the MacBook Pro, I would be back on that train so fast.

    Lightweight chassis, beautiful screens with proper DPI scaling across the board, the ability to use any of the USB-C ports to charge, and the best trackpad experience of any notebook, period.

    I like my N21 a lot but will be upgrading to the new Flex 11 as soon as it comes out because it checks all the boxes that I'm looking for in a Chromebook.

    I am almost on board, but I do not want an ARM processor nor is 4GB enough when I am in Linux, and IPS is nice, but the resolution is killing my multitasking ability.

    So whenever that is resolved, I am all in!

    I wonder if the processor is enough to do 1080p video playback?

    The resolution of the built-in screen on the new Flex 11 is only 1366x768. The Samsung Chromebook Plus has a similar ARM CPU but a Retina-style screen. Of the reviews I've seen where video is streaming, it seems to do OK, but you can check it out for yourself.

    Most CPU's now a days do 1080p playback without issues.

    I can do 1440p @60fps pretty fluent on my Celeron N3160 w/o hiccups.

    Because laptop drivers suck. They require a match with laptop & gpu and upgraded cards don't install off the bat, as well as using desktop drivers removes extra crap they add into the notebook drivers registry. Most notable is forcing SLI to require a reboot to turn on/off, something desktop users have not had to worry about for many years.

    Okay so I am using the modded INF from laptopvideo2go and this driver is pure magic.

    I am not sure whether it is the driver, the INF or the fusion of the two.

    My temps do NOT exceed 72 degrees on my CPU nearing my maximum OC and 74 degrees on my GPU, which is also pushed it to its limits (85% of maximum OC). Very odd.
