I updated my Nvidia drivers to the newest driver (388.13) got Error 43 in the device manager. My previous driver was 385.69 which was working perfectly. When I went back and installed the 385.69 driver, everything works. Any newer than that driver gives me the error 43 message in device manager. I've tried DDU to no avail. I've re-installed windows to no avail. I've tested each card individually to no avail. I'm wondering if this is one of those "driver related, nothing you can do" situations, or if anyone has any input on what else I can try. Since I have SLI I'm pretty reliant on new drivers for performance in new games.

Specs:
CPU: 5930K 4.3GHZ
MOBO: ASUS X99A
RAM: 32GB 2400Mhz with XMP
GFX: Nvidia GTX 980Ti x2 (SLI)

Any Input would help,
Thanks!

I've been searching everywhere for a solution. I have two gtx980ti's as well and just upgraded my motherboard and cpu but still can't install the new drivers without that damn code.
Will post if my friend can figure out what's going on.

I've diagnosed my fair share of issues, but this one has me stump. I've tried each graphics card individually and they work, but not with the latest drivers. It's so odd. I've even brought my computer back to stock clocks and voltages just to rule out the overclock and that does not seem to be the problem. Both of my cards are on kraken liquid cooler adapters and I've had them like this forever. no Issues until the last 3 drivers

I've managed to get one card working with 388.13 but the other card still has code 43 in the device manager. I managed it by getting the reinstalling the drivers without GeForce experience. That's about as close as I can get to the fix which is fine because CoD WW2 doesnt support SLI right now. Hopefully the next update fixes this.
