From the nVIDIA Forums:

 

So apparently I can't play BF1 with 373.06 anymore. Neat. I guess I'll have to try this driver, how bad can it possibly be? (the last driver I tried after 373.06 soft bricked my DisplayPort ports and soft bricked my motherboard PCI-E ports).

 

it still works for me lol

 

I had a message on startup on BF1 that said I had to update my driver. I then installed 375.86, which caused some issues, I was able to remove that one and re install 375.63 and BF1 is back to being flawless.

 

I think 375.63 is the one that soft bricked my motherboard PCI-E ports and DisplayPort ports.

BF1 gave me (and a friend of mine who told me about this originally) an error sayign that 373.06 is no longer supported and won't launch BF1, I would need to upgrade to I think it was 375.63 or newer.

 

Yikes, I guess have been lucky and never had a driver so bad that it bricked anything, It kind of stinks that BF 1 forces updates IMHO.

 

Agreed... 373.06 was perfect but dam BF1 after that update forced me to update the drivers!

ive been running 375.95 since it becoming available with GFE, running BF1 seems the same as always for me, I haven't really noticed a performance increase or decrease for any of my games to date.

 

I tried out 375.95 last night and was able to play without crashing on my laptop. I still have an issue where DX12, BF1 and MS AB wont work together. Overall I noticed a drop in FPS.

EDIT: I also to a performance drop in 3Dmark

 

So 375.95 seems okay so far for me. No major issues or anything like that. It might have to go into the "good driver" folder.

Got a chance to put in six solid hours gaming using 375.95. Played Mafia3, the newest Doom and FO4 mod quests (those guys are good). GPUs steady at 59/60C, and CPU steady at 38/40. FPS for each game 80-90. Everything turned to max/ultra. Really loving this rig.

Things did seem faster and cooler on 375.63.

 

Luckily enough the 1080N fans arent controlled by the card/drivers.

 

you mean this test you did was on the eGPU using your Alienware taptop?

 

I've put to rest my EGPU I built a new desktop system. It's in my signature. I call my new darling, RAMPAGE.

 

I looked in your sig. I haven't seen a i7-6850X before. A new i7?

 

Works fine for my 980m + GTX 1070 so I'm not too worried so far. It's definitely better than my nightmare driver experience where my DisplayPort ports and motherboard PCI-E ports were soft bricked.

 

Wait, the heck Ubi/Massive did to Da Division that it needs another driver for GPU optimization?!?

 

lol, my typing skills are really poor. It should be i76850k. When I was brought over to the dark side, my buds advised against the 10 core CPU, along with the 6800 and the 6950k. The best one would've been the 6700k, but the MB would not take it.

 

How is the 6700k better than the 6850k ?
Oo
And I think you mean 6900k and 6950X.

 

He thought maybe 6700k was better for...

Spoiler

 

Yeah, the people who were guiding me told me since all I'll be doing is gaming the 6700k was the best bang for the money. But, since neither of the MBs I wanted, the one in signature (ASUS fanboys) or MSI godlike gaming carbon, would accept the 6700k, I should go with the 6850. The 6800k was reviewed as to hot and poor for OCing, 6900 and above way to expensive and over kill.

 

l realized it was the €$£
Nothing is over kill And what OC are you on now?

 

I was being brought along slowly, buds showing me the ropes, but I'm kinda hard headed and I want to rush things along. I tried cranking everything up, GPU, ram and achieved 4.9 on CPU. It all went down hill really quickly- alarms went off everything screamed red and shut down. Did not know that the corsair water cool mount over CPU could flash that crimson red. I went big and failed big. After everyone laughed and everything reset I play games at 4.3 with CPU and don't mess around with OCing GPU or ram. I can go as high as 4.7CPU without getting twitchy. Wonder where I can get some liquid nitrogen-HAHAHAH

 

Holy **** , a 6850k that does 4.7Ghz is pretty rare. What voltage are you using for 4.7Ghz?

 

Not really. Remember I'm learning what I'm doing. That 4.7 @1.37v is all window dressing. I don't do anything the PC is just sitting there idle no alarms, I don't even think about gaming let alone OCing. Rock hard stable for my system is 4.4GHZ @1.24v. CPU Temps at 30-34C idle (videos etc), 50C gaming, 55-60C OCing. Hopefully, I wont be smelling anything burning before I get adequate at Ocing. It is fun shooting for the numbers. I was warned warranty does not cover being a dumb ass.

 

This driver is good but wow it has a lot of screen tearing (even on Chrome + Steam), seems like even with V-Sync on. It's either this driver, the latest Windows Updates or I never noticed it before. Still, not the worst driver ever.

 

Seems like this driver makes vsync run weird... on stock nvidia control panel settings, running 3dmark firestrike causes to run capped at 58fps. If I change vsync from "let application decide" to fast sync, I can finally run at max performance.

This wasn't happening with my previous drivers. Could it be G-sync related?

 

It seems like there has been a lot of weird stuff with tearing, v-sync, etc going on in this driver.

 

The thing is, I am forced to use this driver for now due to me having have installed BF1 lately.

 

Yes, it definitely is.
