Are nvidia drivers becoming the new AMD?
I've had a 580 for a few years, and at some point the drivers started constantly crashing, usually when just doing desktop shit under no stress. Screen would go black, fans would speed up, and then back to normal. If I was playing a game it could start showing spooky green flickering on the screen, and if I didn't alt-tab out fast enough, it would take the entire system down with it. Underclocking and/or overvolting the card fixed crashing in games, but it still happened in the desktop environment just as frequently.
A while ago while having dark souls 3 problems, I reverted back to some driver version from 2013, and the problems stopped. Just like that. What the fuck, nvidia. Do they purposely cuck older cards in driver updates so I'll buy a new one? Anyone else have this exact issue?
