These drivers are terrible. Mass reports of cards not clocking correctly. I tried Battlefield 1 for a brief spell, on a 980 Ti SLI setup and it was flickering like crazy. The game crashes when joining a server and at this point, it's as the drivers have restarted / failed, as the game just won't function correctly when you start it again, thus requiring a restart. Even Guru3D issued a warning on using them; http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-geforce-375-86-whql-drivers-have-major-issues.html

 

So stay away from them unless they fix a specific issue you have.

Just downloaded and installed the new 375.86 driver for my 980gtx in SLI....

 

First impressions are excellent...much smoother and on my rig an increase in fps...

 

As always might not be on your system...

Oh !  thanks a lot !

I believed I was creazy or blind...

new hotfix, but only for the memory clock's bug

Nvidia's QA has gone to the dumps lately.

new hotfix, but only for the memory clock's bug

yup, 375.95 still has the SLI flashing.

Updated Title of this topic to the new 376.09 drivers ... anyone tried them with SLI and P3D V3.4 - flicker issue fixed?

 

Not being lazy, but every time I do a driver update/change my desktop icons are jumbled up and it takes me a while to re-organize them back to a useful flow ... so just trying to avoid that work.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Rob -  you should check this out:

Just installed them Rob , Prepar3D problems, started with FSLabs Services not loaded, continued with flight sea turned grey with trees under water, then out of memory pop up,...hmmm not good.

Thanks Vic, will check it out ... works in Win10?

 

 

 

Prepar3D problems, started with FSLabs Services not loaded

 

Sounds like you need to uninstall and reinstall the latest version of FSLabs (they have an update for P3D V3.4 on their web site ... assume you are refering to FSLabs Spotlight product).

 

Primarily interested to see if these newer drivers fix the SLI flicker problem ... but with Vic's suggestion, I'll probably just test this out myself.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Yes, I used it in both 7 and 10.

 

BYW, the SLI flashing STILL exists in P3D.   :mad:

 

Vic

Could someone advise the latest NV driver that does not have these problems?

 

Thanks,

gb.

LOL, read the comments about this driver, nVidia and SLI on Guru of 3D. Scroll down the page here:

Can definitely confirm 375.95 are stilling causing some effects and particulate to flash.

Not sure I understand the person claiming that SLI is a scam. He also vaguely claims that "everyone" knows it's a scam too. I guess I hate to be late to this party.

Could someone advise the latest NV driver that does not have these problems?

This...for SLI
