Installs fine on taptops and GSYNC works

 

Thanks for the heads up on the updates dude. you have a VR headset?

 

nope

 

Geez! SLI is really DEAD!

 

I've been running 376 for a few weeks now, updated to it through the "GeForce Experience" app. Haven't had any major issues running benching with 3DMark, or playing Battlefield1 (with GSync)

EDIT: Sorry, dyslexia on my part, I have 375.76, haha... Will have to try 376.xx soon!

 

What's SLI? It's just for benchmarks now

 

"Titanfall 2 crashes at main menu if SLI is enabled" gg devs

 

Just installed... will report back in a bit after playing some games. At least they installed fine!

 

and another one..

 

Gospeed, ye merry guinea pigs.

 

I have installed this driver on both my desktop and laptop and played several BF1 sessions on each PC, they both worked very well. I even noticed an above average fire strike score with my laptop at my Gaming OC profile. I haven't tried DX12 however.

 

Gsync Pendulum doesn't allow Gsync to be used.. *facepalm*

@Phoenix does it do that for you?

 

What's Pendulum?

 

These drivers are absolute trash for me on the Tornado F5. With G-Sync enabled in BF1 I had massive FPS loss (wasn't able to maintain constant 60hz/fps), stuttering and screen flickering like it was about to fail. Disabling G-Sync and game runs amazing on the drivers, no flickering or stutters at all.

Come on Nvidia!

 

Was G-Sync enabled? What vBIOS do you have on your 1070? I may need to update mine.

 

Gsync was enabled in BF1 and disabled for the 3Dmark test, I'm not sure how to find the vBIOS but in the info tab on afterburner it says BIOS 86.04.2b.00.14t

For BF1 the in game Vsynch is off but its on globally, I also recently went to some "competitive" graphics settings so I haven't tried it with everything maxed out.

 

I have higher GPU temps with 376.19. In Overwatch 75-78 C vs 60-65 C with fps capped at 93. Back to 372.54.

False alarm... Must also set fps at 93 in Overwatch menu (was 94). Now GPU not reach even 60C.

 

drivers seems weird with my book, i now getting minor but for me very noticeable mouselag in Overwatch even when pushing 200fps, on my desktop tho driver seems fine so far, gonna get back to 375.95 and report back if it's fixed.

Edit: went back to 375.95 everything is fine again

 

Sorry thr gsync Pendulum demo.. does it work for you?

 

So far I've only played Overwatch and it is running perfectly. No problems with this set so far.

 

well the option is there in NVCPL and enabled, didn't try playing anything though

 

Me either. I suspect it might work with games but I find it interesting that it won't work in their own demo - I was just after a confirm. I haven't had a chance to play any games this week.

 

You know it is all good when it doesn't even work in their own demo.

nVIDIA is lit these days.

4 crashes in Overwatch and CSGO with this driver. Reverting back again..

 

On first power up, 2nd monitor is detected, works fine.

If I reboot, won't see 2nd monitor no matter what I do/try. Have to power all the way down, then do a fresh boot.

Annoying.

 

Am experiencing random flashing on my external monitor at 120 and 144 Hz refresh rates with this driver. Back to 375.63.

 

Throwing my 2 cents in, I experience sudden random black screens while in gaming. The screen will suddenly go black just as suddenly come back on. I went back to 375.76. Problem solved
