Think I'll wait on the hotfix.

 

Ghost Recon plays worse with these ; good god nvidia get your sh** together.

 

Hotfix driver coming in 3...2...1....

classical nVIDIA Swiss Cheese!

 

It kills me that they release this to focus on all the great optimizations and gifts they claimed we would have for this game. But the previous drivers with hacked AFR for sli was more smooth .....do they even test this crap ? Can't wait till the day AMD blows them off the map

 

On a side note, all the other games they optimized do run much better , like titanfall 2. So I'm hoping it's Ubisoft. I disabled vsync in game and I'm now back to smooth in ghost recon

 

Do you have Doom and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided that you can test with Vulkan and DX12, respectively?

 

I'm really bored today, I'll give this driver a shot on my desktop.

 

Interestingly enough I used the same OC profile for my video card but it had slightly slower speeds which may account for the slightly lower score with the new driver.

First... Why change the older format in Title? See should be... nVIDIA GeForce Drivers 378.88 Findings & Fixes

Second... Hotfix drivers is most likely in work. But we need testers.

3rd... Where's your bench numbers from this decent work of art? See... Guinea Pig.

Thanks

 

I have no time for benchmarks anymore.

Please prepare the barbecue kit and fry your GPU

 

Oh'well.
Afraid yooo frying your chips? And need to RMA(ThiS is time consuming)? Remember you as well can do it in games I meant frying your chips.

 

sorry for the OT post but are you gonna buy this and overclock your shoes?

Xiaomi unveils smart shoes powered by Intel

 

It appears that my GPU usage graph is much more "spiky". I'll try to post an image.

 

I do have Deus Ex, but wont touch doom anymore because the sli in that game is horrendous. Plus the version of vulkan they are using in doom doesn't support multi gpu.

 

You mean overclock my shoes so I can get as fast as possible to the dustbin? Or to the toilet to vomit? I think I'll try to stand off - avoiding this bro Phoenix

 

Not that it really matters much.... but any improvements for Battlefield 1 on DX12?

 

I haven't had good luck with DX12 in BF1 so I have abandoned it but I can give it a shot.

Here is a side by side of BF1 sessions, DX11, the left is 378.49 and 378.78 is on the right. I'm fairly certain the in game settings and OC setting were the same.

 

Thanks. So the temps increased with less than substantial amount of perf increase in the new drivers?

I'm actually more interested in the perf increase (if there's any) in DX12 compared to the older drivers

 

Guru3D just released their comparison findings... as expected nothing to shout about, unless you play hitman

http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/qu..._66_versus_378_78_directx_12_performance.html

 

I think Vsync may have been on in my previous post of this driver in DX11, I played 2 rounds, same map, same settings except DX12. Basically DX12 was not only lower in FPS but blurry too, it was as if Gsync was off. DX12 is dead to me now.

DX11


DX12

 

Would love to see if there's a greater difference on video cards that are not a flagship product.

 

I've been out of the "getting every new game that comes out loop" as I've just been playing overwatch lol.. otherwise I would've been benchmarking everything unless people want to buy me the games to test

 

HAHAHAHAHAH I'm not really laughing--ahhh hell, yes I am. All new, improved blah, blah, blah and NOTHING (more of the same) All I have to say is----NEXT!

 

It's not really horrendous... you just need PCI/e 3.0 x16/x16 if you want to get a really good experience. And you can't use Nightmare Shadows either.

Guess what would fix this? XDMA

Guess what nVidia didn't use? XDMA

Guess what nVidia used instead? High Bandwidth Bridge

Guess what nVidia did with 372.xx and later drivers? Use High Bandwidth Bridge benefits into frame pacing and not into relieving problems like Doom.

:>

 

GTA5 and Just Cause 3 I
Have noticed significant FPS increase. Both have gains of 8-10 FPS. RIse of the tomb raider has actually loss FPS! Lol. Whether it's set to Dx11 or DX12. The older tomb raider has seen also nice gains of 8-10FPS. I also noticed gaming the CPU and GPU temps are lower also.

 

Brightness still not working on my P775DM3-G with these drivers, jeez nV get your **** together, every driver feedback site i tried from them didn't work to let them know about this issue back to 376.54

 

Another steaming pile from Nvidia... forced to update gpu driver by BF1, so installed this version, constant syntp.sys errors/crashes to blue screen then auto reboot.

Was previously 100% stable.

Where's the hotfix CrapVidia?

 

Hey higher temps! For no improvement whatsoever

Well done nVIDIA...

 

G-Sync is broken with these drivers. Back to 378.66.

 

for those who had been using 378 drivers for a while now, which is the best of the bunch? I'm inclined with sticking to 375.95 for a quite a while but BF1 now requires 378 to launch the game

 

how do you know bro? it's enabled in my NVCPL on my MSI taptop

 

It was enabled on mine but I was seeing weird frame drops in games where none existed previously.

That's what has happened for me in the past when Gsync has been broken.
These days (past two years) I take the if it ain't broke, don't fix it approach. Especially since I've got an the old Shadowplay non-spy/login edition working and not trying to update.
