    but it’s a beta version

    • FasterThanFTL

      Its probably the same driver as 364.47 but with the fixed installer for multi-monitor systems.

      • Matthew Bunton

        Yes most of the issues seem to be related to multi monitor users, went fine for me thankfully.

        The Nvidia complaint thread makes amusing reading though. You’d have thought Nvidia were responsible for mass murder the way people were moaning and they wonder why gamers have such a bad reputation.

        • FasterThanFTL

          It caused me to restart my PC multiple times in a very short period of time, which is crime equivalent to the mass murder if you ask me, so I totally sympathize with them.

          • Maxim Pawleen

            Ahahah lol funny one.

      • Tim

        I run multi-montior and had zero issues with the 364’s.

        • Maxim Pawleen

          So did i, i have 2 monitors win7 and nothing crashed.

  • ?enan Hajrovi?

    they are learning from amd

    • Russell Collins

      Shot’s fired

      • Maxim Pawleen

        Lol funny!

    • Kyle Jackson

      The quick fixing? Huh, Nvidia never gets it wrong… :/

  • Silviu

    its a decent driver compared to previous 362

  • Doug Harrison

    Hitman sli profile is a horror movie

  • Apocolyptica

    Why doesn’t the Geforce Experience crapware find it?

    • djghost1133

      are you letting it search for beta drivers as well or do you just expect programs to be telepathic?

  • jdwii

    Coming from a Nvidia user i have to say lol at the first paragraph, while owning Amd back when i had my 6950(and i feel their drivers used to be better then now) i never had any issues like that the number one issue i had was cursor bug, which was fixed quickly.
