    LOL

    It's always this way, they release a driver and call it WHQL then release a hotfix within 48 hours :rolleyes:

    In nVIDIA Terminology. WHQL which used to stand for a quality test driver means = BETA

    Hotfix Driver = Beta 2

    2nd Hotfix Driver such as this one = Final

    I think the last driver in a branch is usually the best one.

    362.00, 365.19, etc.

    What's a taptop? Is it a laptop you look at and tell yourself, "I'd tap dat (USB port)."

    How does one type L instead of T because 15" keyboard? They're like, far apart? Unless they're next to each other in another language layout?

    I can confirm this fixed the flashing/flickering/crashing problem I was experiencing in Overwatch due to SLI.

    These drivers gave me a problem with Rocket League where I suddenly got sub-60 fps. So I rolled back to the last one and I'm back to 200 fps or whatever ( I cap them since I can only see 120 fps anyhow ).

    This on a MSI GT73 with a GTX 1070.

    Reporting in. My GTX980 absolutely disliked these drivers. While stable, they lowered performance in 2D and 3D usage scenarios in quite a noticeable way, having me revert back to 372.90 that has the best mix of performance and stability. Due to not playing the games listed in these specific driver fixes, I'll currently wait for further drivers to see if the situation changes.

    On the taptop note, could we not use the term for laptops containing touch-enabled screens instead? :)

    I must say, NO fixes at all. Flickering in Overwatch, Team Fortress 2 and Day Od Defeat. Back to 372.54

    372.54 was the driver I was using prior to recent changes and can confirm it is a worthwhile driver if one doesn't need specific game fixes, performance being similar to 372.90 in games I tested (haven't played those you listed, though).

    Try 373.06, I found it just as good as 372.54 and definitely better than all the terrible new drivers. Works fine for me on TF2 & Overwatch on all of my PCs.

    Same for me.

    Also the latest driver is causing major hitching and frame hikes with Gsync for me and alot of others.
