Has this fixed the issues found in the horrendous 545 series of drivers?

It can't get any worse, can it? :p

Anyhow, the release notes list the major issues they've fixed. You weren't specific about what things you found wrong about the 545 drivers so we'll leave it to you to install and discover on your own.

I don't play recently released games (I usually wait 6-12+ months after launch) so I don't know if you're referring to one of those.

Enjoy!

:) :D

You don’t need me to tell you what was wrong with them, the question is what wasn’t wrong with them, it’s not just me the whole of Reddit is filled with issues from bottom to top

I haven't visited Reddit for about six months, I know nothing about what those people are griping about. And I probably won't use Reddit until Huffman is out as CEO.

Anyhow, why don't you pen Jensen a nice letter? Moaning about it on TPU likely won't speed up bug fixing by Nvidia software engineering.

Or you could always switch to Team Red. I'm sure they'd welcome you with open arms as a new Radeon acolyte.

No need I didn’t moan I asked a question! You started trying to be cocky which was a fail and maybe you should use Reddit you may learn something!

I've used Reddit before. I still have several logins there (some are probably 10+ years old). I know there's useful content there I just don't like how it's being run anymore.

It's okay. I'm used to this. I've been on the World Wide Web since nearly the beginning (circa 1993). I'm an Internet nomad, I tend to join and leave discussion forums on a regular basis. I've already tapered off my participation here at TPU.

That said, bitching and moaning about something without providing any details (and saying "go read another site") isn't really what W1zzard (or any site operator) wants people to do. They are trying to get people to stick around, not to leave. But those are little details that are apparently beyond you...

You've basically said "This sucks" without saying what.

And what do you expect people to do? Go visit PC GPU subreddits and spend hours and hours reading various posts trying to figure out what the most common complaints are about the 545 series of GeForce drivers? Sure, everyone has oodles of free time. That's right. You are a super genius.

Enjoy TPU and Reddit!

Are you serious? Using REDDIT's users as a confirm source for driver's issues? With that, most of them install their drivers just... WRONG... with stuff running in the background, installing DT drivers on notebooks rather than going to the notebook mfg, masked AMD's fake users just hating, using silly programs to install / uninstall drivers, many with busted up units due to extreme OCs, ect?

Yeah, it seems like you need a brand new band (source). :laugh:

I did not once say that but most of there issues where similar to what I was having anyway I guess you missed the mods comment further up? And trust me when I install drivers I always ddu first so not like I am installing mine in any dodgy way ‍

Can we just move on from this please as Hugis said let’s keep it on topic.

*sighs*

For the 'th time, guys, the Chromium's issue can ONLY be corrected by... Microsoft & Google. This is NOT a GPU's driver issue. Sheesh!

I was worried too, but it's apparently a Chromium-only thing. I got it to mostly go away by setting this:
