NVIDIA Releases the GeForce 353.62 WHQL Drivers for Windows 10

btarunr · Jul 30, 2015

In the wake of Microsoft Windows 10 launch, NVIDIA released its latest GeForce driver targeted at the new OS, GeForce 353.62 WHQL. This driver offers full support for WDDM 2.0, and DirectX 12 (feature level 12_0) support for NVIDIA GPUs based on the "Maxwell" and "Kepler" architectures. NVIDIA plans to enable DirectX 12 support for older "Fermi" (GTX 400, GTX 500 series) GPUs later this year. The driver also adds SLI profiles for a handful new games such as Batman: Arkham Knight (which was previously removed), Killing Floor 2, and Total War: Arena.

Windows 10 auto-updated me to this driver 2 nights ago, even though it's dated for July 29th..

I do not recommend this driver for Windows 10 users. Roll back to the previous 353.3x driver.

Can you explain please? I have been testing and using this driver with games and benchmarking software (3DMark, etc) without any issues.. Actually have slight gains in most areas, however slight.

Couple of UI issues that haven't been ironed out, including various DPI scaling problems, enormous mouse cursors, etc. That means that whoever certified this as WHQL did a pretty bad job, and god knows what else they overlooked.

EDIT: A quick browse of the NVidia forums Driver section seems to detail a number of other issues too.

Weird.. those were issues that I was experiencing with the previous Win10 driver.. 353.62 squashed those issues on my end.

I'm going to try to reproduce these issues and see what happens..

Really? whats been up with nvidia's driver team lately? It's not like them to release one trouble driver after another. it took them weeks to get their drivers to stop crashing.

Are they just going to leave Win 7/8.1 users twirling in the wind with TDRs?

The Von Matrices · Jul 30, 2015

Yay - Killing Floor 2 SLI profile!

Wait... I have AMD cards, so still no support :mad:

Driver installed for me on my Win 10 install. No DPI issues, nor mouse cursor issues. UI seems to be OK. Can you be more specific?

It depends. It's quite stable if it works (a clean install helps with that), but it's nothing but pain if it doesn't like on one of my systems, where it crashes even on the desktop (let alone in games where it crashes in every minutes). 353.38 is the latest without issues for me on that system, but the others are fine on this one.

Any comments on the Win7 version?

It's horrible under Win 8.1, the mouse won't move correctly! How the hell did this make it to WHQL status? Back to 353.49 hotfix.

After this update, my machine has problems waking from sleep.

- Built in display and secondary HDMI monitor turn on but are just black.
- No amount of keyboard or mouse input fixes it
- Hot swapping the monitor cable doesn't fix it either
