Nvidia 372.54 drivers are bugged (video, games, textures, etc)
- Thread starter EatChildren

Dude you forgot to blow in the cartridge
When I updated to the most recent drivers, I experienced the random screen flickering detailed in this video:

I immediately rolled back drivers, and no longer have the issue.

ROG Swift PG278Q
Perhaps it is something with high refresh monitors and/or G-sync.

I haven't had any of these specific issues, but I have noticed that since updating I've been getting a fair deal of blue screens. I'm on a 970, fwiw, and I haven't sat down to seriously figure out what's going on so it may have nothing to do with the drivers.

But I thought Nvidia drivers were flawless unlike AMD's. /s
Happy I usually wait a week or two before updating them.

Well, they stopped being slow since they rolled out Crimson suite. Hopefully they will keep up with this schedule.

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary myself on a 970/DXMD drivers with Windows 10 (No anniversary update).
Is it something that's happening constantly in most games, or just specific circumstances? I've only really been playing Overwatch as far as 3D games are concerned, although what little I've dabbled in Enderal made me feel the performance was pretty bad (no weird artifacts, though).

Just bought a 1060 this last weekend. I need to go buy a power adapter before I install it, but I subbed to this thread just in case I have issues.

I remember early this year or late last year NVIDIA released drivers that would just turn my 970 off after about 10 minutes of use.

Why do you support old driver versions? Other than edge cases like this where the lastest driver is CLEARLY borked.
Not sure how common this is because I don't play a lot of AAA titles, but Mirror's Edge Catalyst refused to start until I updated my graphics drivers. The fact that it was forced felt obnoxious, but I wouldn't have minded a very strongly worded "Please update your graphics drivers before playing, or else continue at your own peril."

I haven't run into any of the problems EatChildren described, but MahGawd something's going on with my Palix 1080.
Windows just slows down to a crawl whenever it feels like it and whenever I try to interact with either GeForce Experience or Nvidia control panel it is soooooo slow.
Even watching youtube is almost impossible.
Then, whenever it feels like it. It goes back to normal.
It never happened to me before, hope it's judt the drivers

I hadn't used an Nvidia card for a long time until my recent 1070, and I'm not impressed by their drivers. Had a lot of screen corruption issues both in game (namely Space Engineers) and on my desktop with the 372.54 drivers (both Geforce Experience update as well as DDU clean install) which had me rolling back to 368.81 where everything was fine.
As a long time AMD card owner, my experiences with AMD drivers has been smoother given this very short 1070 ownership.

I don't install Driver updates from Nvidia on Day 1 anymore.
I don't trust them. They are basically "beta testing" with Day 1 driver updates these days.

They seem to be fine for me, but TB mentioned...
Oh, beaten to the punch. More specifically, he mentioned getting BSODs from the new drivers, so he had to rollback.

So that's why I haven't been able to play NV? Good to know. I bought it during the last Steam sale and didn't get around to actually trying to load it until the other day, and it's crashed every time. Windows 10 x64, Anniversary Update, GTX 1060.

I've had minor issues with this update. Still they are issues I've never had before. Thanks, I will be going back to the old drivers.

EVGA 970 super-de-duper clocked edition here, not having any issues.
I did just do a clean reinstall of Windows though so maybe that's why it's fine for me?

I recently got a 1080, and decided to overclock it on these drivers. I was not able to get a stable clock at 2180 while playing the newest Deus Ex. After reading this thread, I decided to clean install the previous driver version, and I was able to achieve the clock speed that I desired. I am not sure what is wrong with the current drivers, but I had similar problems while testing the overclock on various games on the latest drivers.

Guess I won't update for now I suppose.
EDIT: Actually mine have been updated for awhile now and it works fine so I don't know.

Nvidia does the same. Granted you have to download the release notes PDF for it...

There've been reports that this driver (and maybe some of the slightly older recent ones?) messes up reflections in Fallout: New Vegas.

What's with the crashing in DE:MD? No overclocks, but a busy scene seems to cause a crash here and there.
So the new driver can affect overclocks? This makes total sense now but was banging my head against a wall for a few hours this weekend how my overclocked Titan was crashing during Heaven benchmarks when I had tested for stability before. I hope this isn't something I'm going to have to do after each driver update.
Water reflections look fine on my 970 and Win7-64.

Ohh now it makes sense why my Adobe Photoshop raw sliders (for highlights, shadows etc..) come up corrupted and the image looks all messed up.
Might have to roll back (driver) as this takes priority over gaming.

I've been using this driver since its release and the only game where I've had some issues (not the ones you're showing though) was DXMD. At this point I'm pretty certain that it's the game's fault and not the driver's as everything else I've played on them runs just fine.
Did you install the drivers with custom->clean install btw? This is a branch change driver (R367->R372) and in this case it's always better to kill off all the remains of the previous driver. Some people use DDU for that, I just do a clean install option.

Nvidia drivers have been horrid lately. I am very dissatisfied with them. I frantically bought a 1080 trying to get VR setup and ready for my sister in law to try it in late June. I had purchased a DP to mini DP cable and tested it out on my 670. It worked but was stuttery and would be puke inducing. Got my 1080 and guess what VR was broken on all 3 of the DP ports and this was not fixed until mid July. I had to buy a DP to HDMI adapter for 15 bucks to get it running and I wasted many hours TSing the issue.
Fast forward one month and the next set of drivers left me with a black screen. I had to reinstall windows it was so bad. This may have been an MS issue, but I blame nvidia because it happened during their install. After I manage to reload windows and install the drivers, they totally suck.

Aye, Crimson has been pretty good, but let's not forget the GPU fan stuck at 3% bug, which to my knowledge, did fry some GPUs.

No issues with my TNT 2.
Maybe you just have bad luck, guys.

I have started seeing some bugged textures on some maps in Overwatch, specifically when I look down on the ground at the spawn on Numbani then a part of the floor just turns black.
I also had something that almost looked like artifacting in Deus Ex just after I had upgraded my skills, thought it was the game doing the 150% overloaded thing but it disappeared after I paused and resumed and haven't seen it since.

Just had the same artifacting thing happen in Deus Ex and pressing ESC cleared it for me too. I wonder what went wrong in these drivers and are they safe?
Kinda feeling the urge to downgrade, when are the next ones coming?

Using this driver and I've been lately noticing in a lot of games I am getting stuttering/hitching.
Anyone else getting this issue on a 1070? Both Deus Ex/Obduction at times run like literlaly slideshows and I assumed it was something to do with windows (since I upgraded to windows 10 as well), been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.

I have a 1080 running Windows 10 anniversary edition. DX:MD is fine for me but with the buggy driver in Fallout 4 the Pip-Boy is mostly blacked out and difficult or impossible to read.
