Since I updated to fall creators, netflix windows store app stutters like hell. Also on ms edge.
Cearly is not a internet speed problem, it s video related, not sure if windows or nvidia drivers problem.

Just tried these drivers out in Wolfenstein 2, and they seem better than the 388.10, so definitely recommended 😀

Alt+tab to go back to desktop during DOOM Vulkan doesn't work anymore with this driver.
And globally for all my games, since I updated to Fall creator W10 and since 388.0, alt+tab is working very bad.

LOL.. driver branches sound like a complex science.. waiting to be unraveled like one of the mysteries of the universe.

Thank God I am still on 385.41 ... Wolfen 2 works great,no issues alt tab works everywhere, no reason to bother with new troubles so far.

NVIDIA Installer Failed is all i get when i try to install this driver. Gonna try redo it and see why his happened. Never had this before. Selected only Driver, HDAudio and PhysX. Now i have no Nvidia in the desktop menu. All fixed with DDU and clean install but now i have a stupid white box around Firefox/FT DeepDark addon.
No idea how to remove it, it makes my Firefox look terrible. All dark and nice except for this stupid white outline box.

There's something amiss with this driver and v388.10 Hotfix on my system and both have noticeable stuttering issues which v388.00 WHQL doesn't appear to have.
I first noticed the stuttering while playing Hollow Knight, which I picked up in the Steam Halloween Sale over the weekend. This is a 2D side-scrolling game so I was puzzled as to why I was seeing hitching every second or so while moving left and right. This stuttering also spoilt Wolftenstein II, a game that was otherwise running at 100+ FPS on 2560x1440 maxed out settings on my system. It just did not feel smooth at all.
So I decided to use Display Driver Uninstaller to reinstall the driver as I normally just install the driver over the previous one and haven't noticed any issues doing this. I normally only use DDU when I upgrade my graphics card. Anyway, rather than install v388.10 Hotfix again I decided to install v388.00 as my understanding was the hotfix was only for Kepler cards. And what a different that made; after restarting my PC and restoring my backed up profiles using the GeForce SLI Profile Tool Hollow Knight ran silky-smooth as you'd expect as did Wolfenstein II. I could not believe the difference. Now I do have a 165 Hz G-SYNC display and G-SYNC is enabled for both fullscreen and windowed games (and confirmed via the in-game indicator which I enabled from the NVIDIA control panel). I also have DSR enabled for all factors.
If I use DDU to install the v388.13 drivers then Hollow Knight stutters like it did with v388.10 hotfix (hardly surprising since v388.13 is pretty much a certified version of that driver). However, isn't v388.13 just a newer version of the same branch that v388.00 comes from? If so then why do I experience stuttering with the newer driver when using the same imported profiles (and, yes, the stuttering is still there even before I import the profiles).
I just don't get it but it is now a genuine concern because it may mean I won't be able to update to newer drivers if this stuttering issue persists. Has anyone else noticed this on their system?
P.S. DDU only removed the driver components and not GeForce Experience itself which remained the same when testing v388.00 as it did while testing v388.10 and v388.13 so I do not believe it has anything to do with that.

Last time I struggling with occasionally frametime high spikes. I tried literally everything and I must give up, its really something wrong with NV drivers, last 2 (388.13 & .10) drivers give a 100% proof of it.
I have no words.
Yep, frametime with 388.13 and 388.10 its totally fuuu... up...
For example, v-sync on (in game) frame rate capped by RTSS = frametime should be perfect or near perfect straight line = frame rate smooth as... something really smooth ; ) How it looks with last 2 drivers? look at this [red marks]:

Running Win10 FCU and downgrading from 388.13 to 368.69 feels like upgrading my hardware. what a shame nvidia.

Stuttering issues for me too using 388.10/13
Noticed it while playing Fifa 18 (recurrent 1 frame drops)
Just went back to 388.00 and no problems anymore
