coonbroI like how the NVidia rep said this to a member

''I don't know what card you have or what issue as this is your first post. This driver resolves installer issue with a few select GeForce GTX 1060 models.''

I guess hope you got a select model or it maybe too bad so sad....

Again the same problem as the previous 397.31 driver on my fully updated Windows 8.1 system, moving around windows on the desktop is very laggy (using 1 monitor), when I move around with the control panel window the Realtemp and GPU-Z window disappeared (were still active in the notification area though). I tried changing the desktop refresh rate of my G-Sync monitor which doesn't help either. Very annoying problem which I have with both 397.31 and 397.64.
No problems with 391.35 which I once again use now.

Stay away if you value your HDR settings. This update removes the 4.2.2 and 4.2.0 options, as well as the 10 and 12 bit options. All gone. Rolling back now until the next hotfix comes out.

I had to roll back to the older drivers, I kept experiencing weird and rather large drops in frame rates in some of my games. All of a sudden there would be a hitch of sorts and the frame rate would drop like a rock for a fraction of a second and then come back up. It played holy hell with game play.
