Changes and Fixed Issues

  • [Aerofly RC 7]: Corruption occurs in the game when shadows are enabled. [1921628]
  • [OpenGL][Tombstone Enginer]: Driver update causes corruption in Tombstone engine games. [1915851]

Windows 10 Issues
  • [Firefox.exe]: Browser errors may occur or the browser may crash with NVIDIA drivers. [200301372]
  • [Kepler GPUs][SteamVR]: The compositor fails when starting up. [1929201]
  • [Power DVD 17]: The display may go blank while playing HDR video in exclusive full-screen mode. [200300818]
  • [GeForce GTX 1070]: Games (Witcher 3, For Honor) do not recognize the custom refresh rates set using the NVIDIA Control Panel. [1916598]
  • [SLI][GeForce GTX 1080][Battlefield 1 XP1]: With SLI enabled, corruption appears in the game when switching between full-screen and windowed mode. [1889162]
  • [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti][Mass Effect: Andromeda]: Random memory errors may occur when playing the game. [1887520]
  • [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti][Sid Meier's Civilization VI][G-Sync/SLI/DirectX 12]: Black corruption appears while entering the in-game menu after skipping the cutscene. [200283322]
  • [Notebook][GeForce GTX 970M][Tom Clancy's The Division Survival DLC]: Game crashes, pointing to ntdll.dll when changed to full-screen and to windowed full-screen. [200252894]
  • [Notebook][GeForce GTX 970M][ShadowPlay][For Honor]: The game silently may crash if the intro video is skipped while instant replay is on. [200247313]
  • [SLI][Notebook][GeForce GTX 970M][Gears of War 4]: Level loading may hang. [1826307]
  • [GeForce Experience]: Driver installation may fail when attempting to perform a driver overinstall.
  • To workaround, perform a clean installation.
  • [Notebook][Pascal GPU]: The display remains blank while over installing the driver, requiring a reboot. [200273603]
  • Error code 43 appears in the Device Manager after installing the driver with HDMI display connected. [200283276]
  • Driver install/overinstall requires a reboot. [1757931]

Yeah, Fast Sync was a hit or miss over last few drivers, at least for Arma 3. 382.53 so far looking good, we'll see how it goes after few system reboots :)

Every Graphics driver release is called "Game Ready" yet it seems it rarely is. :kookoo:

Game-Ready might as well be their way of saying "this is for gamers who can afford to have bad drivers, enterprise stay away!"

I guess I shouldn't be surprised but Windows 7 had only one issue with these same drivers. Maybe because Windows 10 is on the newer side? I dunno :confused:

Yep. I stay months behind, and always play the new games fine. Crazy Nvidia with their stated "need" to upgrade drivers. :kookoo:

I too have noticed that with my GTX 960 that the newer drivers degrade the performance. AT first no but after a minute yes.

If you still have any problems, I advise starting a thread in the TPU forums.
