nVIDIA Graphics Drivers v359.00 Findings & Fixes

Only some undervolting on my CPU, nothing big. Also another problem with them i forgot to mention that at times my GPU clocks are stuck at a low level making every game i play to have low fps, Restarting my laptop fixes the problem but it was still annoying.

 

For years its been my opinion that the majority of nVidia driver updates have been mostly patches for the latest games rather than actual driver updates.

Last month this computer had been getting intermittent crashes suggesting nVidia driver update was required so I checked on the latest and saw it was 359.00 so downloaded & installed it. The crashes stopped so everything seemed okay...

Until November 30 when I got a BSOD then after checking the cause using BlueScreenView, found it to be 359.00 so I started going back through the previous updates trying each in turn. Had to go back to 327.23 which is older than the card!

And in case it makes a difference, the only games I play are Win7's mahjong titans and SL. Although lately I have been wondering if this computer will soon need either a major rebuild else replacement neither of which I can afford this side of winning the lottery which I don't do.

 

so now that you can use shadowplay to record your desktop that means you could record stuff off netflix!?!

 

Considering that you can take screenshot of Netflix, technically it should be possible but it would be illegal to do so and we don't discuss illegal activities on this forum.

 

fair enough....was only theorectial.

 

You have to just understand that as a moderator, I can't risk discussion of illegal activity, theoretical or serious. I won't risk this forum so just please do not discuss such things here.
