Users report multiple issues with GeForce 375.86 WHQL Drivers
If you have installed the GeForce 375.86 WHQL drivers you may experience a variety of issues. According to users on Guru3D forums, and indeed users here on our very own forums, the drivers released just yesterday have had reports where certain games frame rates are cut in half, however more alarmingly many users also report memory clock speed drops resulting in on-screen flickering and instability.
The memory speed and flickering issues appear to be limited to cards using the "Pascal" architecture, NVIDIA have acknowledged that the issues are widespread and work is already underway to remedy them. We expect either that a hotfix or new WHQL driver set will follow shortly, depending on their release cycle.

I guess making $ hand over fist on your overpriced cards still doesn't account for much as far as the quality of what you are getting.... as long as the board is happy, right. :banghead: (middle finger emoticon if I could)
with drivers like these who needs enemies?
I will wait again next time..:ohwell:
Either way things happen so as long as they fix it in a timely manner, not the end of the world. Though next time certain users claim AMD drivers are bad and unreliable, think I will just point them this way LOL.
When starting up a game the GFE shadowplay overlay didn't work, a reinstall of GFE solved this.
For some reason after driver installation my gadgets won't load up on the desktop when I start up my computer, have to start it manually.
Besides this didn't noticed any other things, at least GTA V runs as usual.
Thanks Donald >.>
I haven't tried playing a game yet since installing it with wild abandon the minute it came out yesterday, so I can't report any 3D problems. It is however working fine on the desktop with dual monitors. :)
Rush a halfassed product and fix it later...
"nvidia drivers are superior" .... :laugh:
But of course, news sites cannot be expected to care about the root cause. Sensationalism will do.
I'll give these a miss then I guess...
