NVIDIA Launches First WHQL-signed Windows 10 GeForce Driver

NVIDIA announced the first WHQL-signed driver for Windows 10. GeForce 352.84 WHQL offers full compliance to WDDM 2.0 specification, and offers support for DirectX 12 (feature level 12_0) on supported GPUs (all chips based on the "Kepler" and "Maxwell" architectures). There are no games that take advantage of DirectX 12 right now, but NVIDIA suggested a few tech-demos you can toy with, such as Forza DX12 renderer, Fable Legends DX12 Game Demo, Witch Chapter 0 DX12 SLI_support, King of Wushu DX12, and the Unreal Engine Race DX12 demo. DirectX 12 is highly anticipated among game developers, as it provides a leap in performance due to the way it handles multi-CPU. For the first time, 3D graphics rendering can take advantage of any number of CPU cores you throw at them, allowing game developers to increase eye-candy and detail. DirectX 12 will debut with Windows 10, which launches this July.

Except it doesn't help...
Windows 10 somehow magically sees my UEFI disabled Intel GPU as the main GPU and refuses to let my Nvidia card work as it should and just reports that there's an issue and as such the card can't be enabled...

You're asking for a complete product with bad PR and wrong release specs to be fixed.

Nvidia has said DX12 is coming to Fermi, Kepler, and Maxwell. Why has there been no DX12 support for Fermi in nVidia's Windows 10 drivers?

They promised such drivers when Windows 10 hits RTM. Be patient.

Fermi should have been a given. Especially since it was the first really groundbreaking GPU since they rehashed the heck out of the 8800s. Its not a super different design from Kepler.

No. All a driver can do is help utilization. You can't fix a physically cut/disabled memory controller.

I hate hybrid GPU systems. They all suck to the max. The amount of bull that I had to deal on a laptop with dedicated GPU without option to force disable that Intel integrated crap was just out of this world. And it still doesn't work right...
