If you are experiencing problems installing the 364.47 Game Ready WHQL driver we posted yesterday, you'll want to install the new GeForce driver 364.51.

After finding a critical installation issue, the team has replaced yesterday’s driver (364.47) with today’s new driver (364.51). This driver has been submitted to Microsoft for WHQL-approval and we will update the driver package online as soon as we have the certified package.
 
Yea my buddy got bit by this. Crashes during or right after driver install then wouldn't even boot until he did a system restore to previous to the driver install. Not installing Nvidia drivers day 1 any more that's for sure!
 
Happened to me. The driver look like it installed fine. The screen was flashing to black a few times which I didn't worry about, but then I got a BSOD. I had to boot into safe mode, DDU the driver and backtrack to the previous version. I feel a little better knowing it wasn't just me.
 
That's what happens when you release a new driver every week. ;)

Funny how Non-WHQL AMD drivers are more stable than nVidia's WHQL drivers. Not a fanboy, look at the sig.

I think the moral of the story is anybody at any time can have shit drivers.
 
Just installed this release. Didn't have the 364.47s installed so I can't comment on the errors others experienced with that release, but these installed fine - no problems for me. (980 Ti, ROG Swift GYSNC monitor).

The situation was so bad in the second half of 2015 that I just stuck with 353.62 and never bothered updating until 361.91.
 
Never had an nVidia driver issue in... years. I simply can't recall when. Probably when I had my 580 installed.
 
I haven't had an issue, personally, in probably 6-7 years. 1-card, 1-monitor (TV), and running through an AV receiver for audio. However my wife had shit tons of driver issues when installing Windows 10. It kept installing a driver that repeatedly gave her "out of range errors." We had to jump through all sorts of hoops to eventually overwrite it in safe mode and keep Windows from bringing it back.
 
Looks like they finally gotten around to getting DSR, G-Sync and SLI work nicely. Only about 18 months too late.

Now, MFAA...
 
I fixed this by booting into safe mode and uninstalling the broken 364.47 drivers. It took all of seven minutes to fix.

Been using Gsync and sli for 2 months now with no issues or do you mean all 3 together?
 
364.51 caused repeated video crashes and locks, with no bluescreen. Monitors just went yellow... machine locked.

System restored back to the 1st.... appears fixed.
 
Any Vulkan and/or DX12 reviews anywhere yet with this new driver? I'm curious to find out how it does with these new APIs...especially Vulkan since they provide official support.
 
I did a clean install of 364.51 and it is causing CTD while playing Fallout 4. One thing I noticed is Fallout 4 will start using a great deal more VRAM than normal for about 10 minutes prior to the CTD.

I'm going back to 361.91 where I didn't have any issues at all.
