Bravo nvidia, another driver update that is bricking cards.
364.72 drivers are shit. AMD tier shit drivers.

Yeah Nvidia really explodes pcs and burns down houses. Its written everywhere on the internet 2 weeks now....
>>333281045
Laughing at companies for fucking up is fine though. And it gives a warning to owners of those cards not to update til its fixed.
ATI drivers were ruining cards not long ago too.

So is it safe now? Was the previous driver actually faulty?
>>333281213
No it wasn't. A driver may once in a while perform 3-4 fps less than the previous but they never cause bullcrap like op mentioned. Don't trust internet bullcrap. If you're still worried ask a proffesional.

But it also works for me.
A driver is something on OS, how would it brick the card - it's not like it's flashing it...
I haven't used Nvidia since I downloaded drivers that killed my 8800GTX overnight, that was probably back in 2007. 9 years with an ATI card and going strong.
It's ok when nvidia does it.
>>333284214

>>333283152
You're fucked no matter what you go for.
>>333279559
The only issue I have with this driver is the screen tearing when I use the scroll bar on steam client.
I was already on the earlier fucked up drivers and seemed to be having a few minor issues, so I figured I'd update and if it was still shit I'd use the driver uninstaller and go back to 362.
Well it was shit so I was rebooting into safe mode and it wouldn't even boot, ended up having to usesystem restorewhich somehow re-enabled itself.
Thanks for the Geforce Experience Nvidifam

That man is stuttering self-repeating mess. Couldn't even listen for 1 minute.
why do you need to upgrade your drivers? I havent updated my drivers in like 2 years. i dont notice a difference in anything
>>333285742
Here's your (you), come back with an actual reason next time Nvidia shill.
somehow I had been regularly updating to all these fucking drivers on day 1 without hearing about these horror stories.
never had any problems with any of the drivers, but after reading about bricked cards and bricked systems I rolled back to 362. fucking christ.
>>333286119
Your post says it all, really.
It's just as bad as people who leave bad reviews on hardware when they have no idea how to install it or set it up in the first place.

That isn't how claims work anon. Beyond AMD's poor opengl performance (but its still supported) the support from each company should be the same.

It's probably idiots not doing clean installs like you should, and just using the express install and overwriting drivers which always causes problems

Decent PC name. someone should make a name for the miscellaneous shit that you name your PC.
>>333280795
It has AMD tier drivers. Copy pasting from an old post of mine.
I did the mistake of upgrading my drivers (352.86) when i didn't needed, just because they were "new". From there, i only had problems.
>353.30 had a bug where gpu heavy software freezed for 5 seconds or so
>358.30 introduced stuttering "shadowplay" recordings
>358.50 improved "shadowplay" a little bit but introduced a bug where every 3 or so minutes, the mouse sensibility got doubled (i have a CM xornet)
>358.91 fucked my Sony Vegas. It crashed every time i pushed play (but fixed my mouse sensibility issues)
>359.00 doesn't crash sony vegas anymore, but the "video preview" stays black when i play my edits
>359.06 & 361.41 apparently fixed all my problems but now i get input lag when i record with "shadowplay" (wrong, the weird mouse sensitivity bug is back)
Then i downgraded to 352.86, but as soon as i executed "Nvidia GF Experience" i got a BSOD with the error "Driver IRQL not less or equal" and then windows stooped booting. So i installed "Display Driver Uninstaller" and removed everything in safe mode. Then i installed the last driver that worked somewhat fine for me (353.30) and i got a BSOD with the same error as soon i started windows.
I lost faith in the official forums after they told me that i needed to use a SSD to get 60 fps "shadowplay" recordings, even after i told them that on older drivers it worked fine on my WD HD.
I will format my PC this week after more than 2 months of making back ups; i will block any attemps of updating. This shit never happened to me while i had an 5770. Thanks nvidia.

>>333294396
>>333294442
stop using a computer, you're both too fucking stupid.
use DDU to clean your old shit, install new drivers - only install the actual driver and physx.
>>333294041
And the 320.18 or something. It burned my 550 ti and made my gtx 660 to work funny.
>>333294442
Don't use shadowplay, it's a bag of shit.
Use OBS with NVEnc instead.
>>333295094
but OBS doesn't automatically hook into games (from what i saw in the 10 minutes i used it).

You are not prepared.
Nvidia seriously haven't put out a not fucked driver since the GTAV more than a year ago. I don't know what the fuck happened to them after that. Currently tolerating the MGSV driver which gives me 12fps in bad company 2 for some reason.
>>333279559
wow, thank you my friend for posting a creditable source for this information! I will be buying three AMD graphic cards later today! thank you my friend!
>>333299689
I downloaded the one that came out after the one that was bricking shit after the Division came out and it seems to be working fine.

I want two mostly just because. I'd bolt them to my aftermarket heatsink on my 290x and unleash the most stressful game I have - ashes of the singularity. That game is a GCN killer.
Sure i'd never hear again but those fans would tame the 1.4v i'm pumping through the card.
I have the driver installed, I have no issues so far.
I have been playing games on it for 3+ hours at a time in a sitting. Will my card explode if I keep this driver on? Serious question, I am scared.
>>333299591
>Fit tower with this

>So much air friction it actually builds heat
>>333300650
Open the control panel and watch the temps. Chances are the drivers are just fucking with fan speeds and some people's aging fans are croaking because they don't spin up or something. If you catch this before anything severe happens, you can just replace the fan and call it a day.
>>333300545
I'm sure you're going to call me a retard but I also have a 290x and I have no idea how to overclock it. I look shit up and everywhere says different shit.
>no don't use afterburner it just raises the minimum voltage and will wear out your card faster
>no don't use your BIOS you have to raise the maximum voltage too
Etc
So I just haven't touched it. How did you do yours?
Also if you know, how do you OC a processor? I've got a 3570k
>>333301456
You have tow main approaches.
1) Use crimson to bump up the power target as well as core clocks. This doesn't deal in voltage so outside of a great chip you probably won't get very far.
2) Use tools like Afterburner or Trixx to add voltage to allow MOAR NIGGAHERTZ.
As i'm a crazy motherfucker with serious cooling i'm using trixx as it allows for a +200mv offset (which is nearly 1.4v). If you add voltage only do it a little (10-15mv) at a time and monitor core temps as well as vrm1 (thats the one that gets hot as fuck). Just keep benching something like unigine valley until it no longer keeps stable and/or gets too hot.
>Also if you know, how do you OC a processor?
For Intel you need a mobo that supports it. Assuming you do you need to go into your bios and fuck about there. Up the multiplier a little at a time and run some sort of cpu stress test (like intel burn test) to see if its stable. If not add moar volts.
Also: go look up what load line calibration is.
>>333301056
I have been monitoring temperatures and they seem fine so far. I always watch temps so I can catch a sign of my GPU dying as that is my biggest fear.
I know the screen tearing when I use the scroll bar in steam isn't an issue but it's still a fear.
>>333302024
Thanks anon. I only have stock cooling, hopefully I can get something good out of it. Luckily the room my computer resides in is pretty cool and I've got a big case with lots of airflow.
>>333302142
then don't worry about it. You're probably not someone who is affected.
>>333302329
>I only have stock cooling
Stock cooling for the card or the reference blower cooler? You aren't going to do shit on the blower cooler as it is not upto the job.
What's even the point of updating drivers? What are you trying to fix? Never head of "don't fix what isn't broken"?
>>333302696
Lately they've been adding support for things like DX12 titles, Vulkan and the usual general bug fixes for games and shit

Yeah like AMD is a huge upgrade lel. Bet you're gonna say something like "werks for me!", but I can say the same about nvidia. Literally never had a single problem. Doesn't change the fact that their driver is shit.

>>333305815
But anon, AMD doesn't use Goyimworks.
In fact, they use GPUOpen, which is literally 100% and can be utilized even my Nvidia engineers.
>>333305815
Given Nvidia performance hasn't dropped off a cliff and is merely slightly below equivalent AMD hardware then yes, it is ok when AMD does it.
>>333306002
And Nvidia released the source code to Goyimorks. What's your point?

Oh /v/, you believe anything you read don't you? Now, running those drivers myself on this desktop, my laptop, my work station, my other desktop hooked up to my TV... All work just fine on 700 and 900 series GPUs.
So I'd love to see a sampling of these people who are having issues, and how stupidly they've overclocked their components to the point of instability. Because those are the only people that are affected by this shit, it's been happening ever since after burner and precision were discovered by the tech illiterates.
Now when Nvidia actually does something dumb, feel free to make us aware. Stop with the clickbait shit.

Yeah just had a BSOD yesterday after the update. Haven't had one in like 3 years. Fuck nVidia and their half-assed driver.
>>333295358
I'm good on 361.91.
>>333312262
no thanks. if anything ill buy a retarded gsync monitor thats 1440p with 144hz and that will be my reason to upgrade the card.
>>333310425
Yeah because the console versions are technical masterpieces
>>333283521
i have a saphire vapor-x r9 280x. it works fucking amazing.
whats the problem?
>>333279559
I installed the drivers 2 minutes ago to test if what OP was saying was true and so far I haven't had any proble
>>333314079
Yeah me too everything is gre
AMD shills out in force today.
Enjoy your substandard shit product and drivers
>>333314280
Let me guess, you bought a 970
Nvidia aren't getting worse as people may think. It's just amd are benefitting from all these new api features (dx12 with async etc) and console optimizations.
Most benchmarks for nvidia cards are done at stock speeds which is, on paper, a fair way to test the nvidia cards. However when you realise that not one vendor card comes without a stock overclock and that the most popular 970 (msi) actually comes with a 200 mhz overclock it makes the benchmarks inaccurate since very very few people actually have stock 970s. That 200 mhz overclock, paired with another 100/150 mhz boost via gpu boost 2.0 will make the 970 gain atleast 10/20% of extra performance which is normally, or even bigger than the margin between the 390 and stock 970 (or 970 and 290x).
There are rampant fanboys from each side but they can't deny that both cards are very very neck and neck when they're tapped out. The vram thing is another issue but 2bh I doubt anyone will run into problems with either card since my older 780 only had 3gb vram and I haven't had one problem with it and the 970 has more.
All in all though they're very similar.

>>333314361
I've got a 980, 970, 970 and 660 for my two machines, my wife's and the 660 is on the server.
I've had both AMD and nvidia cards over the last 15 years and honestly have just had less problems with nvidia cards and drivers.

>AMD tier shit drivers.
Funny, AMD had one bad driver in the past year or so, whereas Nvidia had several.
Maybe the meme needs the brands swapped already, much like how the housefire one went from Fermi to GCN.
>>333315167
I'm an nvidia fan, but I still laugh at this
>>333315167
One bad year from Nvidia doesn't amount to several bad years with AMD unfortunately.
>>333309642
>Didn't read the post he responded to
And I will bet anything the people having issues are retards who don't know how to properly overclock and have damaged their hardware themselves.
>>333315552
My 6970 did this in 2010 lol
>>333315552
>nvidia builds a car
>>333315167
It's funny because I haven't had a single problem with any of the latest drivers and I don't even do clean installs. The only time I hear about it is from this clickbait website in ops post. No one I know has had any problems either.
>>333315552
How did that even happen? Hair spray?
Weather it's nvidia intel or amd It's fucked up to read stories of parts failing on people if it's not their fault. it's not the way it's supposed to be senpai

What is this new thing about it being ok to post amd partnered games with obvious porfirmnabce gains on amd hardware but it's oh so bad and terrible to post any nvidia partnered game where a 970 beats a fury etc.
Double standards all the time.

>>333279559
well
since a couple updates ago, Nvidea geforce experience just died for me. It would install but not run, so I removed completly since the drivers work without it
the only way to update is if I go manually download from the website
I guess there was a bright side on that bug, I am safe from future bugs
>>333279559
>more shitty drivers
>now they're not releasing pascal this year
BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY
>>333317252
Because in that Nvidia game even if the 970 beats a Fury they both run like absolute garbage even at 1080p.
>>333305640
>being CPU bottlenecked
Havent updated since the 361 version.
This bricking shit needs to stop.
>>333317391
They'll release Pascal in November, same as AMD with Polaris, most likely.
They are not worried about Maxwell being shit at DX12/Vulkan because the first true wave of such games will come out at the end of the year, so might as well get rid of all the soon-to-be-paperweight 9x0 stock they have in their warehouses. Plenty of retards with zero foresight and too much spare money to sell them to.
>>333316902
>Literally 5 fps difference
>Both cards still maintain over 60fps
I'm not sure I see the AMD kids point? My 980 Ti plays hitman perfectly smooth. Or are they forgetting that there are several games that just run like absolute ass on AMD cards?
>>333317407
Not really. The 980 ti has fantastic performance and the 980 and 970 are just under 60. Lowering any LOD setting will probably bring it up to 60 without making the game look bad. I can run this sane game on my 980 at a locked 60 with a mix of high/very high settings.

Update your drivers they said. It'll be fine they said.
It's okay that Windows 10 automatically updates drivers as soon as it finds new ones they said. Windows 10 is good they said.
>>333318301
>it's that 1440p meme again
I like how literally every amd user posts only 1440p or 4k benchmarks even though 98% of all people who use steam have a 1080p monitor or lower. I bet you don't even have a 1440p monitor.
Also
>avg fps way under 60
Another reason why the 1440p meme is stupid. Amd fanboys will defend their 40 fps just to say they're better than nvidia.

>>333318490

Damnnn. This means my 1450 mhz 980 will destroy that fury x in this game. Feels good mang

For what reason, Anon? I haven't even found a reason to OC my 980 SLI or 980 Ti SLI.
>>333319017
Nigga 1440p looks like fucking ass on a 1080p screen because it doesn't scale well. 4k scales well on a 1080p screen since its literally a multiple of 1080.
1440p only looks nice on actual 1440p monitors.

>Nigga 1440p looks like fucking ass on a 1080p screen because it doesn't scale well.
Ufuckingwotm8?
>>333283152
well /v/ doesn't care what the fuck they get since they all get their pc parts with mommies credit card.
>>333319498
Do you honestly overclocking lowers your part's lifespan that significantly?
>>333280902
That's the excuse you drones use when you claim your shit drivers are actually good
>They work fine for me, shut up
fucking depressing that neither company has a card that can blow away 60 fps on games now on ultra, with some games like tomb raider getting 980ti and amd equivilant to hovering over 70 and dipping below to 65ish and worse at 1080p
considering a lot of the times games are a buggy piece of shit and games like ark look like shit but still can barely run because mah early access i guess at this point it must clearly be the fault of the game devs just getting lazier and lazier while trying to make things look pretty but them not really being much prettier, just more graphics intensive for no real reason other than they're completely retarded at coding
>>333319694
Are you one of those people who unironically enable fxaa?
>>333319498
>drastically shortening the lifespan
Yeah shortening the lifespan from 5 years and 2 days to 5 years and 1 day.
People are still using overclocked gpus and cpus from well over 5 years ago. Everyone I know who has had an oc gpu for that long has actually had their mobo fail before the actual card.
>>333315167
>Funny, AMD had one bad driver in the past year or so, whereas Nvidia had several.
I'm getting really tired of explaining this to retarded AMDrones who refuse to actually learn things and just like to spout their shill shit in every thread, so I'm just copy pasting my last post.
Because the cause of this issue is complex and people refuse to do the fix.
Long story short, the WHQL flag on 364.51 was ignored by Windows, and the default Windows VGA driver was installed over top of the official nvidia one after reboot. Since the driver is multiple DLLs, it's loading several microsoft and nvidia dlls at once and causing serious issues.
If you were affected by this during your 364.51 install, you NEED to use DDU to sweep the old busted driver out before you upgrade, or else the busted VGA driver stays installed.
People who used DDU or didn't use 3643.51 are fine, and the people who did are too stupid to use DDU.
Nvidia can't fix this with their installer because the busted VGA driver is in the WinSXS driver folder which can only be modified with an Administrator account on Windows 8.1 and 10 (Account only, admin privileges on a lower account don't work)
>>333320163
>Comparing VSR to FXAA
Are you baiting me?
AMD need fix opengl bug.(from gzdoom(Brutal))
>>333320176
He's just confusing overclocking with overvolting.
If you up the speed without upping the voltage, there's practically no difference in lifespan. Overvolting will, but who knows how big of an impact that is.
>>333319694
You can use 4k DSR nicely on a 1080p screen since the image can be squashed down to fix exactly in a 1920x1080p pixel space.
1440p on the other hand doesn't fit that perfectly since its not a multiple of 1080p. The image will be rendered at 1440p but squashed via VSR or DSR and the image will look kinda off. I can't explain it exactly but it just doesn't scale that nicely from 1080p to 1440p.
>>333320338
I am comparing different methods of uneven blur. DSR that's not 1:2 destroys fonts and other fine details.
>>333320057
This is why i dont feel like upgrading at all (a fucking 750ti).. just... for what purpose.
>>333320428
which bug?
>>333321427
I don't know how DSR works, but VSR literally just allows you to use a custom set of higher resolutions on your monitor.
AMD drivers from like 2011/2012 did the same thing, pic related, I changed my monitor's resolution from 2048x1152 to 2560x1440 back when I had my old HD 5770.
All VSR did was re-enable these same drivers on a scaled-down level.
>>333285514
is that guy me. jeez I have all this extra money to spend, but I dont need anything right now.
>>333279559
Is it weird how people report these issues and yet I can't/never have a single one of these issues at all ever
>>333299893
Linux is actually the only platform with good AMD drivers. People just stupidly install Catalyst, down grading X and their kernel when they should be saying Fuck Catalyst upgrading everything and just using the open source drivers.
>>333321810
Dsr and VSR are literally the same thing
