Well, I'm using GTX770 with Windows 10 Education 64 Bit.
Not sure if it's me, but I feel like using newer driver like 368 or so kinda decrease my performance?? So I back to 361, then uhh... Dark Souls 3 would crash after swap to 361. You know, I feel it screwed up, is it Nvidia driver problem or crap Windows update, since I updated few days ago I suppose I got some other problem? Sorry if it's being vague, I'm not sure what sould I do. Anyone know which driver I should get?? Also I'm experiencing stutter in ARMA 3 which I never encounter while I use Win 7. Any idea?? And please don't tell me to just get a 1070 or 1080, since I'm going university, it would be delayed though~

yup, your not the only one not satisfied whit NVidia drivers or see things as you do and using 10 I guess its twice as bad ?? one guy said '' seems like NVidia brakes more then they fix '' I do find it crazy it seems NVidia had a new driver out liike every 2 weeks . you seem to just get the latest one installed to try and they released another newer driver ???

I don't use win-10 but I'm still on 355.82 for this 900 card I use ?? may down load and see what the latest does but like the rest I end up back on 355 [but that's just me ] all I do is download and try and stick with what one I feel is doing the best overall and so far 355.82 is the one [just download and try and see any driver and test it ]

good luck

Holy crap, so it's true? "No, it can't be happening" lol!
I read a topic said in his experience, 358 is good. Gotta see more people to respond to share their experience.
So, these new drivers plus Win 10 is a fuckin combo? Haha~ I also feel Chrome act weird after a few updates recently and swap to Edge, feels Win 10 got lots of trouble? Btw, do you play Fallout 4? I wonder if I can get CK now? Is it still closed beta now?

well I figured I get the latest driver this week end and give it a whirl and see ?? thing is just because its a new driver don't mean its a better driver I load and try several out and see what one seems to work the best for my needs and system . its a pain and time consuming and a raining day project

like my old AMD 7850 card there 13.12 driver worked great on it with out issue so that's the one I used for it as everyday know it works well driver for that card ??

thing is todays cards drivers rely on so much ''gimmick ware'' now there's no telling what causing a issue overall like NVidia driver is a 350mb down load and maybe 100mb of it is the cards actual driver ?? all I load id the cards driver[PhysX on NVidia as well ] and leave the rest of the crap out [but that's just me]

can help to look at driver feedback threads as well to see whats said ??

Oh, thank for your help! But you don't really have to do that much~
Never know there's thread to discuss drivers though, and the reason I ask such of stupid question like this is because Win 10 updates recently and I have no idea what kind of stuff it's being add to screw me up, I mean those thread seems a little bit old~
I'm just glad I'm facing those weird stuff driver issues with win 10 in late 2015 since I was preparing for that entrance exam~ Luckily skip those bad bad things hehe.
Gimmick ware? What are you mean? Is it simply bad? Or just ya sense of humorous! I'm using Afterburner and Geforce Experience, and I heard that RivaTuner caused some big problem with older build but fixed.
For the love of God, why Microsoft have to screw like everything up, from game to mainly everything, especially OneDrive, fortunately I got a unlimited Google Drive. Lol!

welcome to win 10 [lucky I did not fall for it ] ..lol...

''Oh, thank for your help! But you don't really have to do that much~ '' yes I do I want the best driver overall for my use and system

well like g force experience lots of guys never load it hd auid o drivers and all that that's ''not the cards driver'' I leave that stuff out but that's all personal preference

funny thing is when 10 came out seems NVidia started to struggle with there drivers if you followed thing from back then to now [hmmmm...]

a few sits have a driver thread going when one gets released

http://forums.evga.com/36510-WHQL-drivers-m2474869.aspx

I think RivaTuner is who makes afterburner and was the folk involved with evga's tool as well before evga crap-canned them on there's ??

gforce experience ? some use it some just don't it a personal preference thing I guess ? I don't , but that's just me

''That's not it for me - I never use the HD audio install , only basic driver files & Physx''

The sole reason I use Geforce Experience is because Shadow Play, cause I can't figure out x264 for Afterburner~ God gracious, I'm gonna swap back a bit more older lol! I know Windows also got a DVR blah blah, but I don't like it, it feels suck. Perhaps you know how to figure vfw x264??

I play around with it but I'm no big overclocker by far to me todays cards are pretty strong out of the box and if a factory oc'ed card even stronger /

''The sole reason I use Geforce Experience is because Shadow Play, '' well rthats the thing if its something you want to use that's your deal I don't have a need for it so I don't is all , if one pops up then I may change my mind and install it

like the cards hd audio I don't need that cause I got good speakers off the mother board so I don't need it as well and so on ..

''Perhaps you know how to figure vfw x264 '' lol.. don't know what that is off the bat ?? maybe this thing ?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/

never experienced any of that here for me ??

may want to go edit your foul language before a toms mod pops in don't forget there may be young or maybe Christian kids / adults looking at this and what you post and get offended [opinion] I don't really care but someone else may and report it to a mod ??

i'll be off for awhile I'm going to get that latest driver and try it out and see how I like it for something to do

So I encountered another famous problem regard win 10's screen resolution. I guess maybe uhh, who ever see this might get the same problem as me.
I searched a little bit and found a video about that, basically you need to swap back more to 355.30 because it was the last support custom res. Just follow the video and you should probably get the right result that is expected, at least it worked for me~ Here's the link below:

Umm... Nevermind, It seems the latest driver still buggy too, not sure about that though. I guess time will fix this, buggy ware seems more common these days? Like bunch of video games~
I tried this driver, I guess it's good although I still got stutter with ARMA 3, but at least the rate seems decline and more smooth compare the newer one imo. Anyway, thanks for help me!
