Everyone is using DDU+CCleaner in safemode after running the driver uninstall right?

Not sure what DDU is , I just went to device manager and rolled back my driver. No problems now.

No. I shouldn't have to either. It's 2015, not 2004.

Display Driver Uninstaller

It might be overkill and probably just intended for when changing from AMD to Nvidia or vice versa. But I guess using it can eliminate the chance of residual driver files causing a problem if you want to be thorough.

No, those registry editors can and have in the past caused more issues than they solve.

[Hapatingjaky]

That's how I've always removed drivers.

Uninstall through Program/Features.
Reboot into Safemode.
Run DDU.
Run CCleaner.
Reboot and install the latest driver.

Don't have any issues with Hardware Acceleration in Chrome, no crashing in any titles.

Although I only install the display driver and nothing else since its all garbage.

I've had to reload windows a few times from using them, and have not used them in years

just load over the top or let driver unload itself from windows control panel if need be with both amd and nv drivers


but on " Display Driver stopped responding" when they going to get a new driver out, I've only had it do it twice both on IE
have not rolled back yet till it does it more

[Nunz]

These drivers are ****ed. I got a random 0x070 blue-screen. I'm not planning on playing Witcher 3 until the big 600 change patch comes so I rolled back to 350.12.

I haven't had to rollback drivers in years.

[Dave]

Ever since the first 2 driver crashes I had when these drivers first came out - these drivers have been solid for me.

[Nunz]

I had one "Display Driver Stopped Responding" a couple of days ago when I first installed them. Then I was playing CSGO about 30min ago and my game closed on its own .. I was like alright ..

Went to open Google Chrome and it stopped responding. Tried to open again, stopped responding. Rage clicked it again to open and it halted my PC and blue-screened.

I didn't have these issues with 350.12 so I'll just wait patiently. I'm in no rush to play Witcher 3 anyway.

[Megaman]

Hmm, no driver stops for me, yet, but I have had Bf4 stop responding twice.

I also joined a BF3 server, went to take a leak, came back and the PC was on desktop, no programs opened

Checked event logs and it reset itself. Not sure if related.

Chrome and any other browser is fine.

[Meteor_of_War]

No problems here using version 352.86. Put in a good 15+ hours of gaming since installing them too.

[bill dennison]

had three "Display Driver Stopped Responding" now

so pulled 8.1 boot drive for one with win 7 and 350.12 to try to get fallout 3 set up and mods in anyway, fallout does not like 8.1 for me

i'll leave the 8.1 boot drive out till they get 352.86 fixed

That really sucks, did you try it on the amd rig?

[bill dennison]

That really sucks, did you try it on the amd rig?

yea I can't get it to stop locking up on 8.1 both amd and nv systems even with the crash fixes out there, but I noticed a lot of the fixes called for 7 compatibility mode so I started pulling out old hard drives
only had a win 7 drive for the nv system left but fallout 3 seem to work fine on 7, you still have to do the 4 core lock up fix but it works on 7

now new vegas runs on both so far

[MNB4800]

Getting these TDR all over the place when I didn't before. I got it frequently with new drivers in Dota 2 when I never got it before unless I was overclocking. Also I get it sometimes now with Firefox.

I believe this has been the worst time for me to move to nVidia but considering there was nothing from AMD and people were generally praising Kepler, I thought Maxwell would follow. Sadly the drivers are just killing it now.

China gets drivers first usually. I-Café drivers are usually stable drivers as they use them in internet cafe's in China.

[Megaman]

Not up for an OS format?

[KAC]

Drivers are tight. Witcher 3 pegged at 60 fps.

[Kain]

No issues for me with 352.86 drivers. Installed them a week ago.

When is this making it to the official sites?

it looks to be still crashing anyway

[ThirdEye]

Huh I may have found the culprit for my display driver crashes. X-55 Rhino Profile would stop responding whenever a crash occurred. Disabled that **** from startup (the stick still works in games) and bam! no more crashes. Played witcher 3 for hours. Turned the rhino profile back on just to test and witcher3 crashed within 15 minutes.

Sweet

I still want to know if W3 was the only game affected or many more.

[Mangler]

Cool, the kepler stuff is welcome as I'm currently playing TW3 on my gtx 780 box.

Does 353.06 fix the crashy crashes?

[Meteor_of_War]

Wow, didn't expect it so soon. Installing now.

Does 353.06 fix the crashy crashes?

I hope so, I actually got my first crash on the 352.86 drivers today. Bad one too, BSOD.

I will wait and see

[BababooeyHTJ]

I just installed these, we'll see.

[azalea]

Just installed, closed the installer, and got a driver crash instantly. Wheee....

[BababooeyHTJ]

Wonderful

[Megaman]

I just installed these, we'll see.

Can you have a crack at GTA V, seeing as we use the same GPUs and let me know if there is an improvement.

[Nascar24]

I just installed, its the we will see as well, .86 didn't crash all the time for me but in a weeks time probably crashed 7 or 8 times. Rolling back to the GTA V driver corrected the issue for me last time.

[Megaman]

I'm getting that old stutter from the GTA V drivers and about 10 FPS less with these. Just did a test in the outback. Going back to the previous ones.

Actually I take this back.

The game likes to start up in windowed mode if you have some sort of window open in the background. If you continue on, load your save, your frames tank. If you load a game without the window mode activated, your frames are fine.

Driver is sturdy.

Thanks, I saw it too.


Saw your update, going to have to see if that was the deal.
