    430 MB? Windows 9X drivers for the old TNT and GeForce cards were less than 10.

    For the next 20hrs or so, bundlestars is selling it for $52.99. Hey, in my book saving $7 bucks, is 7 bucks.

    I mentioned this on a previous post. This is a listing of issues submitted to them and they're well aware of. Not necessarily issues that the new drivers present.

    I didn't talk especially about Nvidia and their latest drivers. More the damn OS. As you see, New isn't always better :D Same can be seen if you look on safety patches from the Morons. And only 5-6 months and we will see a new Windoze Beta build yet again. Then the same next March :eek:

    On my MSI 1070 on the very high preset at 1080p - it's a solid 60fps so far.

    Driver not yet tested in gaming but only benchmarked.

    Actually the voltages scaling is a way better on my 970m respect to old driver observed by hwinfo32:


    378.78
    idle 0.837v full 0.987v spike 0.993v

    382.05
    idle 0.825v/0.831v/0.837v/0.843v ful l0.987v spikes 0.993v(less)

    Hi guys, Geforce Experience V3.5.0.76 also came with this update I believe, and I'm having issues with it like the share button or the Redeem button under your account name is gone. Anyone else having this issue?

    this driver still comes with the older GeForce Experience v3.5.0.70, you'd have to skip installation of that and install the latest one you mentioned

    Oh ok, my bad. Do you have GE v3.5.0.76 though? And if you get the same issue? To add on to this the Drivers page on GE v3.5.0.76 also doesn't load up.

    Why does anyone use GE? I agree it's an experience when it screws something up on your pc. Why invite trouble?

    I've never had the program mess anything up for me. The game recording/streaming works really well, much better than some software programs I've paid for. It also doesn't do a half-bad job of recommending in-game settings that offer a solid balance of performance and visual quality, at least for titles that are supported.

    I still use Nvidia Experience but manual install the old pre spying, log-in bloat version without the intrusive OSD and block it ever trying to upgrade - nice try Nvidia but thanks for playing :p
    The Nvidia optimizer can go jump in the lake. But I'd be really impressed if they could have a target frame rate wizard that tweaked for higher frame rate targets just at also allowed the gsync threshold e.g. 119fps to be maintained. Instead they've got it backwards and are goofing around with battery boost.

    Rolled back to previous driver because my GPU was running 5 degrees hotter under load in any game and i had no other reason to keep them since perfomance was the same and i haven't got Prey yet. I didn't check if the raise in temps was due to a higher voltage or what but it sucked. Ah, i also had a weird glitch where you'd see the start bar becoming red while turning off the laptop lol.
    I'm still impressed by these monkeys ****ing up at every update .
