GeForce Windows 10 Driver

Version 353.62 - WHQL
Release Date Wed Jul 29, 2015
Operating System Windows 10 64-bit
Language English (US)
File Size 281.27 MB

Is everything going well for everyone? Any issues? About to help my online gaming buddy through his Win 10 install soon. Hopefully everything goes fine. Fingers crossed.
 
I did the upgrade from 7 to 10 then did a clean install afterwards with a Win 10 Pro ISO. There is no Key so just keep skipping that option and sign in to your MS account and it shows activated once in windows. Only problem I have found so far which I am guessing is NV driver problem is when you open programs that have links in text, the text flickers when I move my mouse around the program window. This does not happen with the default NV drivers but it happens with all NV drivers I install myself. So it has to be the NV drivers but I am not 100% sure since I am still testing things to see if I can get it to go away.
 
You can not create a custom resolution on Windows 10 with this driver that is above your monitor's native res. Me and many others are experiencing it. This worked fine on Win 7/8/8.1. My monitor is 1680x1050 and I need to create a custom res of 1920x1080 for game streaming to my TV :(
 
so far so good, GTX 970 on Windows 10.

I had to create a custom resolution, since for some reason, my monitor won't detect @ 75 hz, only 60, so I created a custom 75hz 2560x1080 resolution, seemed to fix it.
 
970m so far and working fine on a 4k screen. I do believe that speed and special features may well need some ironing (I don't use those but I see the comments above). Couple more releases and things will start to sing. But for now, it works well and I did nothing special, just a normal upgrade from 8.1.
 
OK, I have run into a problem.

If I use shadowplay while playing world of tanks, there seems to be a memory leak somewhere in the NV driver, because everything just comes to a stop, and i get a message saying I'm out of memory, and that Windows is closing apps etc...
(didn't happen in Win 8 with 353.48)

yup, it keeps happening regularly, NV capture service is using 3GB of memory.

Most games seem to be working fine for me, but it's the desktop applications that don't like this driver. Netflix keeps resetting the driver while in fullscreen, and Edge lags like hell when videos play.

I can try it next time when i hop on and report back. I don't have world is tanks though.

World of Warships :p

I think I found the problem, it's the NV streaming service, someone in another thread had the same issue, due to the windows firewall blocking it, and then it goes nuts, and that was from last year... so it looks like NV hasn't fixed it yet.

2 Solutions )

1) Add an exception for it
2) disable the service from starting in the first place, unless you plan on streaming anything.
 
Couple of road bumps but nothing major. Did the upgrade from win 7 to win 10. On first boot my triple monitors were detected and nv surround already configured. The resolution scale was set to 300% so dropped that down to 100%. Looking through Nvidia control panel, SLI was disabled. I had to setup nv surround again and then sli was enabled. I ended up redoing it all anyway doing a clean wipe of the drivers. One thing to note for custom resolutions. I run my monitors at 75hz and have to create a custom res. After creating the resolution it would not let me apply to the individual monitors. nv surround was off at the time. going back and setting up nv surround allowed me to set the correct resolution 3240x1920 and 75hz. monitors all report 75hz in the OSD. Just odd that it would not allow me to set the individual monitor to the custom res.
 
I upgraded from Win7, then did fresh install reset within Windows 10. So far the only real problem I noted is that the 3D Vision test program within the Nvidia Control Panel won't start, it hangs and flickers at a black screen. But 3D-Vision is working fine within games themselves.
 
Not sure what to blame but wanted to throw this info out there.

When watching videos the Taskbar keeps overlapping Randomly (not necessarly at the start of the video) and not allowing me to access play/pause or the timeline to skip further or back into the video, also strange issues when I minimize/maximize videos where screen goes black or there is ghost image of some portions of the video on the screen even outsideo of the video player. This happens on windows media player and the other player (think it's called movies/pictures or something like that)

I have a triple monitor setup and just came from win 7 with the rig in sig. I installed via upgrade. The previous drivers in win 7 had an option under desktop where I can span the taskbar over all monitors and choose other things like maximize all windows across all screens but all those options are gone under windows 10 and the new drivers.

Also the only game I have tried so far Assassins Creed Rogue is a son of a bitch to get full screen again if I Alt + Tab the game.I've tried atl + tabbing back, bringing up the task manager, then right clicking the task and choosing; bring to front, Maximize etc...

I even tried clicking it on the taskbar icon for the game. All of these have worked but never on the first 2 tries. I just keep trying them and eventually the game will maximize again. I wish someone could confirm if this is a issue with this specific game or many/most games.
 
Was trying to troubleshoot F@H cause it kept crashed. Ended up having to remove/reinstall the software.

Anyway, to make sure it was not a hardware issue, i stressed my system w/ Firestrike/Firestrike Extreme.

My previous score on extreme using win7, sli 780 ti classi / 3930k, was 8720 w/ a gpu clock of 1085.
This current test under win10 shows 9477 w/ a gpu clock of 1020.

I'll take it!
 
OK, another problem. trying to configure a custom profile for a game, as soon as i select the game file, NV control panel crashes.

Question: do you have your taskbar at the top of your monitor? Because i do and i would occasionally have issues with this crap. Microsoft has yet to full fix this issue.
 
I have triple 30's in portrait and the drivers initially had some problems flipping them and displaying them correctly. I get some BSOD's once in a while relating to direct x. I can't add custom resolutions for gaming. Native resolution for me with my monitor set up is 4800x2560. It runs fine at times, but there's no difference from what I can tell. At times it can be too high for gaming on my triple titan's so I run a 3600x1920 custom resolution.
 
I'm having issues with windows 10 and these drivers, I can't run bf4 with sli enabled, I can run one card as physics OK. i get the out of memory error
 
Hiyas,

well i am having quite severe problems with Windows 10's Geforce Driver.

Seems it happens only if you run a 4K display at 60 hz via HDMI.

There are multiple threads about it already :

Problems include :
- In Windows 10 Desktop, whenever you move the mouse, menus flicker like crazy. Very annoying. This can be alleviated by adding "trailing cursor" to your mouse. Don't ask me why it works, it does
- I had green flashing and repeated frames while watching video in Fullscreen. Strangely enough it was fine windowed. For a reason i ignore, that problem disappeared 3 days ago... maybe some background update?
- Black screen flashing in games, making them unplayable.

I hope these problems get resolved soon enough, nearly made me go back to 8.1 ... i'll try to wait it out, gaming-wise
 
I swear. Nvidia must have caught the case of the AMD's with this driver. This driver is a stuttering cluster fuck of a failure. How did Nvidia not test this (including SLI and surround) and honestly say "YUP, herp derp... this driver works. Push it out"

Maybe because the issues you are having are not common (or affect everyone)? For example, I updated to the current Windows 10 WHQL driver today, and not only am NOT having issues, I gained new features (DSR support actually shows up for the first time in two games that I actually play - one of them being SC2 HotS) and that is despite running Windows 10 Pro on old-school hardware (Q6600+GTX550Ti). For me, DSR is a NEW feature, and it's certainly usable; single-GPU stability is a lot easier to test for (not even just for me, but for nVidia (or AMD as well) than multi-GPU stability). Multi-GPU stability has always been an outlier, and a darn expensive one - I'm not talking just SLI, but even CrossFire. Being able to run DSR without multi-GPU is certainly a feature that is leveragable, and now having experienced it, I certainly WILL leverage it where and when possible.

Note that a specific set of circumstances are required to reproduce these issues. I run at 1080p via DVI on Windows 10, and I experience none of them. Instead, I have a different issue, and it's not related to the nVidia driver at all - I have an issue with tabs in Mozilla browsers (both Waterfox and Firefox) - specifically, tabs tend to stick to the mouse pointer. It's ONLY with Waterfox and Firefox - it doesn't happen with Chrome, IE, or Edge.

New features with Forceware 355.60 (personal observation)
DSR is available for Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft and Starcraft II (including Starter Edition, Wings of Liberty, and Heart of the Swarm) with GTX550 and above with 1GB or more. (This is a new feature.) I would certainly think that DSR support will be more widespread with newer GPUs - and with even same-age GPUs with larger RAM loadouts. For some reason, DSR is not available for World of Warcraft yet.
