NVIDIA Releases GeForce 355.80 Hotfix for Windows 10 Related Issue

NVIDIA released the GeForce 355.80 Hotfix driver to address a critical issue affecting users of SLI configurations on Windows 10. Users of SLI configurations (and dual-GPU graphics cards such as the GTX 690) report excessive virtual memory consumption on Windows 10. This driver addresses the issue, and future WHQL-signed releases will incorporate the fix. This is one of the many graphics memory management issues Windows 10 users are experiencing across GPU brands, which both NVIDIA and AMD are hopefully working to address.

Might as well do it :P

"Stupid AMD, needing bugfixes all the time just release a WHQL driver already without your crappy bugs"

oh wait

Here For Good!
Funny, I read thread after thread after thread about hardware issues, driver problems. Win 10 is a mistake. I will avoid it for as long as I can. Wait at least a year people, they pushed it out too fast, with too many backdoors.
All that extra spyware is going to slow your system down, and cause havok with your hardware. I see it heats up cpus, gee, I wonder why.

That's pretty cool. I've never seen a mod troll before.

Uh no, it's more aggressive with adaptive voltage, which is quite the opposite.

For older systems, laptops, Win 10 is a joke. ZERO driver support. Even for Win 8.1...

I dunno. I've installed it on Core Duo laptops no problem. How old we talking?

i had to do it before someone else beat me to it, these threads tend to follow the same pattern every time.

Fortunately i've had no windows 10 driver issues on any of my systems - only teamviewer 10 waking systems from sleep and hibernate.

Hey, I didn't say it was a bad move. I actually said it was "pretty cool." :P

I am glad to see nVidia are still taking care of business with their drivers, unlike a certain other company called AMD.

I used to love their cards, I had a 6950 back then, I complained about a similar problem, never ever did I see a fix for it, even after a year.

I moved over to nVidia and I am never looking back.

Same. But no sound drivers for integrated, except that crappy windows one which doesn't have settings for the laptop's woofer. And an GeForce Go 7900GT video card... And the card reader still unrecognisable by Win10....
But the video card is what hurt the most. Cannot even have a decent 1920x1200 resolution....

I'm not sure I'd call it "taking care of business." Nvidia has had driver problems ever since April when they put out the GTA V driver, and have put out a string of drivers with problems, and hotfixes with problems to fix aforementioned problems. I maintain if they were taking care of business it would be like the several years prior to April when drivers were stable, worked, and didn't cause a slew of problems.

both companies have had driver problems since they sold their first cards. That's what makes these threads great.

As an example i've tested the 15.7 (and 15.7.1) AMD drivers on windows 10 with AMD 5770, 6870, 7970, 280x, and 290. all of them worked great except the 280x (and i RMA'd a lot of them due to the issues) - anyone who'd bought the ever popular 280x would hate AMD for buggy drivers and problems, yet those same drivers work fine on every other AMD card i've got on hand.

Back in the day Nvidia had issues with the 8800GT/S/X cards drivers crashing constantly, and i moved from them to AMD - but i'd never be daft enough to claim those drivers for those cards have any relevance to anything else BUT those cards on those drivers.

I used AMD/ATI for over 10 years. I can say with a straight face I will not be going back unless I absolutely have too. NVIDIA drivers hot fix allow me to play BF4 again with SLI. I could play it fine with a single card. GTAV has never caused me an issue.

Back when I was running 5850's the drivers would occasionally cause BSOD's during the most mundane tasks. Sorry but Ill take running one card instead of two with NVIDIA than having a damn OS corruption courtesy of AMD and 10 nasty BSOD's.

I know they both have issues but NVIDIA issues are far, FAR less.

Also remember NVIDIA is a software company that dabbles in hardware.
AMD is a hardware company that dabbles in drivers.

If by some magic we could get AMD hardware and NVIDIA drivers on the same product I doubt ANYONE would be complaining.......except for maybe Qubit. He cry's about everything.

Finally!!!!!!

I was using 4GB of memory running a small map on TitanFall... my cards have 4GB! I was getting 10FPS with two cards... I was able to get 144+ fps the whole time before moving to Windows 10 and these new shit drivers.

I haven't played on my PC for about a month now because I literally CAN NOT! :mad:

With you saying that, I wonder if that is a reason my new i5 6600k is hitting upwards of 100*C during stress testing despite me reseating the CPU and applying new thermal paste.

i would say your cooler is not attached correctly or way too much voltage is going in, that is not a normal temp.

What are you using to read temps? I just put together a basic pc to sacrifice to W10 as a test subject, and discovered my i3-4160 was reading 56 C at idle. I updated to a current Core Temp instead of theold one I was using, and suddenly the temperature readings are around 32 where they should be.

i know this is getting off topic, but there was another thread here on TPU with people talking about incorrect voltages and temps in W10 - i wonder if that was just a software reading issue as well.

Clearly but I have checked both.

Using CPUID HWMonitor and Realtemp. My idle temps are around 30*C. BIOS confirms.

Not sure but it would be nice to know. I may just make an image of the computer this weekend and load up Windows 7 to test. I did create a thread for this over at the overclocking and cooling forum for help and general OC assistance. That way I dont derail this too much.

Its far from a mistake. This issue NVIDIA is fixing in this release effects a handful of people. Single GPU configs do not have the issue.

Yeah get it out of the way early I say.

No issues with my MSI 980 Ti. Running flawlessly. All my mobo drivers ran perfectly too upon installation of Win10, which is unheard of, for me at least.

Back when I was running 8600M GT, the hardware would permanently cause block screen of death (bump gate) during the most mundane tasks.
