Too late

I'm new to PC, how do I roll back to the previous driver?

 

[Sky87]

Well, too late, hopefully my 680 doesn't blow up.

Only supposed to affect the 10-series, and if you're on a 680 i don't think you will ever see improvement in a driver again as that card is ancient in PC terms.

Too late

I'm new to PC, how do I roll back to the previous driver?

You should be able to just download the prior version (dated end of october) and just install that over what you're using now.

Personally i would do a clean uninstall by using DisplayDriverUninstaller: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=673

Download that tool, choose to use the safemode, PC will reboot automatically, window will pop up with Nvidia already selected (make sure to be 100%), then click Clean and Restart. Really simple and you don't risk some leftover files from the newest driver still remaining.

Use Nvidia's driver website and in the search options make sure it looks for older / beta drivers.

 

[StMeph]

Thanks for the warning. I'll wait for a new patch.

 

[Baleoce]

Yeah, unless I'm already having problems, or it's actually a substantial update that of which I'd actually see noticable gains, I don't tend to update on release anymore. Too many times I've had to go into safe mode and use DDU with Nvidia drivers. But in general, this is happening far too often as of late.

 

[JBwB]

You might actually be lucky and unaffected, mind testing it? Should be noticable at once, framerates should be 50% of what they used to be. Try running GPUZ to monitor memory clocks as well.

Memory clock is as it should be so I'm fine I guess. Phew.

I might still roll back just in case though.

 

[SuperÑ]

I hope Nvidia gets the same amount of shit as other manufacturers when they mess up the drivers.

 

[Sky87]

Memory clock is as it should be so I'm fine I guess. Phew.

Click the sensor tab and then play a game for a few minutes. Note the max memory clock and see if it remains constant.

EDIT: Here's mine:

Not sure why my memory is that high compared to yours.

Too bad it won't happen. ever.

 

[Padinn]

Annndddd I see this right after I clicked to install.

Crud.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Again? Jesus

 

[Berzerkiymc]

is this happening for everyone? A mass recall?

Just installed, so far so good here.

 

[amrod]

i updated and check... my 1080 seems fine

 

[GRaider81]

Seems like they are rightly getting plenty of 'shit' here anyhow.

Ran Overwatch for a bit. Everything seems to be in order.

 

[LQX]

Ugh, this is why I hate updating to release day drivers but that fucking BF1 patch forced many to update their Nvidia drivers. Shit like this is why forced graphics card updates should not be a thing.

 

[gypsygib]

In the 12 months exactly I've had my GTX 970, Nvidia is about 2 for 12 on releasing drivers that improve anything and about 10 for 12 at releasing drivers that improve nothing or make things worse or broken for a significant number of people.

 

[nkarafo]

So, what's the latest good version of the driver to get?

 

[Padinn]

I ran heaven benchmark and my memory clock stayed at 810. 20FPS (on Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Edition).

Uninstalling now. Stay away!

 

[Cerbero]

They sell way too many cards to give a damn about that

 

[Tealmann]

Oh for fucks sake. I buy a 970 and the 3.5 meme happens, I buy a 1060 and every other driver update breaks something.
I'm sticking to AMD from now on, I never had a problem with my 390 that I used to replace my 970.

 

[Sky87]

Something is up with your memory clock. It should not be at 1251 with a 1080 when my 1070 manages just past 2000.

EDIT: My bad, see below.

 

[Asmodai48]

Nvidia drivers are the new AMD drivers lol.

Because he has a 1080 not a 1070. 1080's use QDR GDDRX5.

 

[Lime]

too late

His memory is fine. That's a 1080, uses GDDRX5, which is QDR basically plus double data rate. Mine does 1250 too (1250*4=5000*2=10000 effective).

 

[ZROCOOL]

I just got done installing the new drivers

 

[nBurbidge]

I updated drivers earlier before this post, though I don't appear to be having any issues on my 1070.

 

[finley83]

I remember back in 2013 where every driver after 314.22 caused screen freezing and cursor corruption on my 560ti for about 7 months. Was a complete shitshow and there was never any apology for it. Also since then i've had microstuttering on particular applications (e.g eDuke32) that were fine on the 314.22 drivers.

This is the problem with having little to no effective competition.

 

[nkarafo]

Also since then i've had microstuttering on particular applications (e.g eDuke32) that were fine on the 314.22 drivers.

I also have the same problem with eDuke for a few years now. I don't think i ever managed to run this smoothly and i tried every possible tweak.

 

[Kysen]

No issues here, EVGA 1080.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

What a surprise, saw the update notification pop up this morning and was like "yeah, I'll hold off on that".

 

[The1Ski]

Any known effects on Titanfall?

 

[finley83]

I also have the same problem with eDuke for a few years now. I don't think i ever managed to run this smoothly and i tried every possible tweak.

Yeah it's bizarre. If you have an older card you can roll back to those drivers and it'll be smooth as silk. Really frustrating.

 

[nubbe]

People still claim ATI is the one with shitty drivers?
Nvidia has released system breaking drivers several times this year alone

 

[Quadraphonic]

Haha. If you've never had AMD driver issues then you haven't been using them long enough

 

[Mohasus]

What a clickbait title. Just updated my drivers after reading that it only affects 10-series.

 

[amrod]

So it seems even though mem speed seems correct in GPU-Z, Forza 3 seems laggy

 

[Pachinko]

Boy , it sure seems Nvidia have had a lot of driver issues these past couple months. This is what the 5th one in a row with problems ? I only update video drivers when windows forces it OR if I happen to have an issue with a game.

 

[desmax]

My 1060 seems fine so far

 

[Jedi2016]

Glad I have the automatic updates turned off. I did get the pop-up from GeForce Experience when I got home a little bit ago, but I ignored it. I have no new games that would need it, so I don't bother updating unless I have to. The next game I even might buy is WD2, and that's a couple weeks out.

 

[Sanctuary]

So did Nvidia just randomly fire their previous driver team? They've been unpredictably shit for the last year.

 

[NeOak]

Other manufacturers?

Seems like they are rightly getting plenty of 'shit' here anyhow.

The NVIDIA defense force denies there is something like bad NVIDIA drivers while pointing out to AMD's bad drivers in the early 2000s as if that justifies NVIDIA fucking people with bad software and causing W10 to be unstable like if it were Windows Me.

 

[Naite]

I'm so glad I ignore the nvidia notification and am incredibly lazy when updating the drivers.

 

[Hero Prinny]

i don't remember which update but I've been having artifacting issues on chrome for quite sometime now, i know its not cause my gpu getting messed up either cause my brother has the same issue.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Dodged that bullet.

 

[Renekton]

So did Nvidia just randomly fire their previous driver team? They've been unpredictably shit for the last year.

Probably diverted software resources to work on expanding initiatives like deep learning and automotive

 

[Vex_]

I'm getting the streaming video graphical glitch (YouTube, etc) bug with the driver prior to this one. I might still need to rollback.


Ugh.. fucking Nvidia.


Edit;

Fuck me 6 ways. You too??!!

 

[jett]

This year I've seen more threads about shitty Nvidia drivers than I've seen about AMD drivers ever. What's going on with that company?
