Hey guys, just ran into this problem minutes ago. I launched AC: Unity, and it was running in 20fps. Which wasn't normal. Upon ALT TABing, my screen went black, then a notification popped up in the corner saying display driver stopped working, but has recovered.
I've tried relaunching the game a few time and get met with the same problem.
My GPU is a GTX 970 and I'm up to date on my driver software.

Edit: It's now happening while browsing chrome. Short freeze then the notification.
