Nvidia needs to update its site better. These drivers do show up on Nvidia.com when selecting Fermi GPU, so I gave them a shot, but they indeed won't install on Fermi systems.

not showing up for me for win 10 64bit on geforce.com? does only show on the TITAN tab. then comes up as page not found when attempted download.

the geforce site is a nightmare for caches, use the nvidia.co.uk site, select English(UK) and 1080 on the downloads page, win10 and win7/8.x are there.

Does this driver fix the issue with having black pixel blocks in Original Sin 2 when having dynamic shadows enabled? The last drivers I tried had this problem.

Try them and find out, they are only just released and feedback is 0 right now.

Yay, R396.

Yay a higher number.

They just came up on nvidia driver section for all supported video cards. Many things changed and lots of stuff in the change log here. I'm going to test them 😀

So anyone checked how FC5 perform with this? (and i dont care about the benchmark which i think is just a ubisoft scam compare to how the actual game run)

Finally! Thanks for the heads up!

In what way ? The game runs amazing. OTH It's a bit of a jump from 391.35 to 397.31

Performance about the same, i use v-sync off in game and set fast sync and fxaa on in the driver, however it does feel a bit smoother but maybe a placebo there good thing is it didnt crash like it did with previous drivers for me after about half an hour of gameplay *EDIT* just read the fix has been implemented for my 1060, perhaps my numerous reports helped lol

What's the difference between these and the last?

GPU-Z reports beta digital signature for these drivers. Don't be worried though its false alarm because DXDIAG reports WHQL so its ok. Waiting for a newer GPU-Z version..! Let's start testing with FC5 😀

New features: * NVidia Control Panel is now fast. * Replaced GPU scaling with DSR for lower than native resolutions (0.x multipliers) for sharper upscaling instead of the blurry crap you get with GPU scaling. Then I woke up and realized this will never happen.

WDDM 2.3 for v1709.
