    Just Cause 3 is awesome so far, 359.06 is working great on my GT80 SLI-263 :)

    Just Cause 3 Graphics & Performance Guide
    http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/just-cause-3-graphics-and-performance-guide

    I have my display set to 100hz, Triple buffer vsync, and all the settings maxxed, then backed down to FXAA, no Motion Blur, and no Edge Fade.

    But, I can't tell if I am running at 100fps...

    The Nvidia OSD frame rate display isn't working, and same goes for RivaTuner 6.4.0.

    Update: Nvidia OSD started working :)

    They both work in all other games, and I see 100fps stable in Tomb Raider for example...any ideas how to get OSD's working in JC3?

    Just want to confirm for P75xDM-G owners that version 359.06 works without modded inf for both 970m and 980m.

    wish i could install unmodded drivers :p

    Also, weren't they gonna stop posting drivers to the site? IIRC they were gonna stop it this month so either there was a backlash or they doing it later.

    Sure!
    Co-op is the only reason I bought this game. So far, pretty neat, though I'm not a fan how co-op games are set up. Sometimes it's hard to find a game.

    Can add me on Uplay - killkenny1.

    Weirdly Windows 10 overrides NVidia's OpenCL.dll with it's own crippled version. Good thing I don't use OpenCL.

    MS doesn't want to give up controlling which drivers user chooses to use. Lame.

    Windows 10 has been fine, but the automatic update system is so annoying. Forcing users to update crap they don't want, all in or nothing. MS is treating W10 on PC as if it is a phone/tablet for updates.

    haven't installed any benching stuff yet. i have played some games though and i don't feel it being that much different to 8.1 as opposed to synthetic testing.
