NVIDIA Releases the GeForce 375.86 WHQL Game Ready Driver

Raevenlord · Nov 15, 2016

NVIDIA has just released the latest version of their GeForce drivers. The 375.86 WHQL Game Ready Driver features Game Ready profiles for Tom Clancy's The Division Survival DLC, Battlefield 1, Steep: Open Beta, and Civilization VI; and updates the SLI profiles by adding a temporal SLI profile for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The drivers also fix some know issues and leave some to fix at a later date - details which you can read right after the break.

As always, you can grab the drivers right here at TechPowerUp. Just follow the below links for your particular operating system.

what happened?

OneMoar · Nov 16, 2016

some kind of mem clock screw up resulting in flickering and general instability

enya64 · Nov 16, 2016

I have 2 1070s and this SLI profile nearly cut my fps in half on Infinite Warfare. When I disable SLI I get an average of 52 fps. When I enable this new SLI profile I get 24-30 fps. Ridiculous.

Too bad for 4k 60 fps gaming there aren't any single card solutions yet. In SLI supported games these cards are a lot faster than the titan xp

OneMoar · Nov 16, 2016

thats just cod engine being generally shit
IW is complete garbage atm it doesn't run worth a shit no matter what hardware or resolution

R-T-B · Nov 16, 2016

Ok on Maxwell I assume? Guess I'll try...

the54thvoid · Nov 16, 2016

Had to update to these to play BF1 last night. No problems for me. W7.

I was actually getting this weird flickering (which looks like it's resetting my HDTV) after playing Titanfall 2 on max. This was on the 375.70 drivers. I had to rollback 375.57 to get stable again, but had a slight performance hit on TF2.

lorraine walsh · Nov 16, 2016

OK so I am actually looking forward to it! Hope it will speed up their overall gaming performances.

P4-630 · Nov 16, 2016

What I have noticed is after restarting the computer starting a game, the GFE overlay didn't start.
Reinstalled GFE now, hope that is solved, haven't tested it yet.

My desktop gadgets are having some problems starting up, have to start manually till now.
Strange, this happened after installing this driver.
Never had this problem before.

Liviu Cojocaru · Nov 16, 2016

I've installed these yesterday and I was playing BF1 for 1 hour or so also Fifa17 as well and I did not encountered any issues, I will try again today after work and I will come back with an update.

P4-630 · Nov 16, 2016

Ok, the shadowplay overlay seems to work again after a GFE reinstall...

Hockster · Nov 16, 2016

Drivers are NFG for me, the GPU memory won't come out of 2D speeds.

Prima.Vera · Nov 17, 2016

Huge FPS drop in COD:IW after playing some times. Have to alt-tab to desktop to restore it to the proper way.

Also G-Sync seems to be affected too?

P4-630 · Nov 17, 2016

On a Dutch tech site I was reading that Pascal owners were complaining about vram clock drops...

Luckily haven't had that problem with my GTX1070.

I did not encounter any issues with it but I rolled back to the previous driver anyway, just to be safe
