Never heard of Rock Band VR but it sounds like a terrible idea. Now you'll not only just be bumping into things, you'll be blindly swinging a plastic guitar around. Can't wait for the drum kit where you can't see what drumhead your hitting.

You don't stare at the drum kit to play drums.

See's Andromeda and sighs... they might have to start making cough game ready drivers cough for non AAA titles cos they tend to be much better these days lol.

Funnily enough, non AAA titles runs better in general on PC by default.

Thx consoles.

Ah Mass Effect Andromeda, how long I have waited for this day to come, and yet when it came im not even hyped. Like my hype is -1, due to well known reasons.

My set of actions will be in next weeks in my free time to replay ME 1,2,3, while in the mean time HOPEFULLY Bioware fixes all of this junk. However knowing that currently team has nothing to do with old games, and my favorite franchise... I think Bioware is done for. DA:I was a first sign.

Rock Band VR

"SLI"
Dead Rising 4 (Updated)

Yeah I just noticed that, I'll have to update the quote as Nvidia didn't provide a list of fixed issues for this driver in the PDF notes, just the known ones.

EDIT: Included the header, should be enough to specify these are open / known issues rather than issues that this driver fixed.

Could anyone test performance in Andromeda (trial or full) vs. 378.78? Also power limit values, please

Be nice to see nvidia use that AMD chill tech,
They use gpu boost but be nice for them to innovate for a change and add some new features.
Its pretty boring seeing the same day in day out.

Set fps limit by any means you prefer to anything below what you have in a game without it usually - there, NV has just implemented "AMD's chill tech".

PCGH's MEA benchmark was performed on a pre-release version of this driver (.90).

are these worthy of my time? I still using 375.70 is WDDM2.1 even worth it? I still have to to do the update to 1607 on my main system fiqure I might as well just wait to creator is out, seeing I gonna probably wind up cleaning install just to make my OCD stop driving me nuts like it has done every time I ever did I "upgrade"

Besides last I checked the BS bug where UAC prompt get displayed UNDER other OPEN windows still happens, Which I find more annoying then the the 1511 bug where he START MENU remained open even after the the STARTBAR disappeared
