I know the issues were happening in the preview copies, but now that a couple of official drivers have been out for Win 10 retail, I had assumed they would fix these. For some reason when going into surround mode, Windows scaling goes nuts and makes everything gigantic. You can fix that with the slider and all is well. However when you want to disable Surround, only one screen comes back and you have to reboot to get the others to return. Pretty annoying.

Anyone aware of any fixes outside of Nvidia getting around to supporting Win 10 properly?
 
Are you on the driver they released the other day? I had a shit ton of issues with the windows 10 driver the released a way back, but after updating to the latest one that came out a few days ago. all my problems went away (except for the stupid 'no signal' issue when using display ports)

Yeah, I was hoping they would resolve it. Surround certainly works, so that's something, but it's annoying. I'm on a Titan, so maybe they put in a fix for a higher number of users and didn't get to the nut jobs like me yet. :)
 
Surround is beta at best in Win10 and more like alpha at this stage. My problems are:

- screen saver does not activate ever.
- monitors do not power down after set time.
- taskbar issues where program bar always opens in left monitor regardless of which screen has the taskbar centered.
- 3D vision surround issues in multiple games.
- 2D surround issues in multiple games.
- the BF4 crash SLI OOM error which they STILL haven't fixed and which has been heavily lambasted all over the net.
- other misc issues.

What works in Win10 works VERY well though. Performance for me in every game that works is up substantially across the board. Nvidia needs to get their shit together though. It's always these clown up front leading the FAIL brigade with their shitty drivers whenever a new OS comes out. They've had many, many months to get this right and have been dragging ass obviously the whole time. Once again I will be talking to our MS rep about these guys and voicing my displeasure with them like I did when Nvidia debacled the Vista release. I have to say it's getting really old with these companies dropping the ball like this.
