NVIDIA has released a new driver for its graphics cards. According to the release notes, the GeForce 376.09 WHQL driver is optimized for Watch_Dogs 2, Dead Rising 4 and STEEP.
NVIDIA has not released yet the release notes for this new driver, so we don’t know whether they pack any additional fixes for the latest triple-A titles.
We’ll be sure to update this story once we get our hands on the release notes.

But does it fix SLI flickering in Battlefield 1?
Use 1 GPU. PROFIT???
Call me when 1 GPU starts doing 4k/60fps or 1440p/144fps on the latest games and does not cost twice as much as the next powerful GPU.
Call me when 4k becomes absolute necessity.
What a stupid comment, are 1440p or 120hz 144hz etc. necessities either.
Good != Absolute necessity.
Yep. Real shame.. i just got a 1070 and a1440p g sync monitor.. and yea.. 100 fps at best. Heck, i cant even run Diablo 3 with more than 110 🙁
Actually.. i can barely even run any game at that resolution and 144 hz.. wtf. I thought ill regret the G sync monitor cuz it costed a ton.. but nope. I regret buying a 1070. Should of went with 1080, or with for the next gen cards that can actually run a 4 year old game at 144 hz..
Get another GTX 1070 and you will be set.
ill get 10 more ;p Perhaps ill be able to play Crysis 1 at 144 hz.. perhaps.. ;p
I almost never recommend SLI or crossfire most big youtubers would also say not to do it. Just keep the 1070 its a nice card too. If not sell it now and put the extra money towards a 1080 or wait for a 1080TI
Nah, sadly i cant justify the money for the 1080. The fps boost is exactly what i seek, but not at that price. I guess ill wait for the next gen cards..
If a 760 can hold me 3-4 years, this can hold me even longer (if it doesnt die before that like my 760 just did.)
I just wanted to get the best this time around. Almost got the 1070 but like i said SLI to me just isn’t worth it to many games have issues with it. Been a issue for way to long for me to think things will change.
What’s sad is i kept saying i never would get a Pascal or a new Nvidia card until they fix their A-sync compute then Dues ex mankind divided hit and i was only able to play at 40Fps or so i ordered the 1080 that same week lol. Owned a 970 previously didn’t really regret that purchase.
Amd doesn’t even sell a high-end GPU ATM and i own G-sync so i won’t be giving that up. Spent way to much on my monitor.
Yea same 🙂 Nvidia from now on for me too. Gsync is great. I came from a 760, so the upgrade for me was huge, tho.. the fps remained kind of the same.
1080p resolution at 60-100 fps
VS
1440p resolution at 60-130 fps.. kind of the same, just the resolution updated.
own a 1080 and 4790K i looked at my GPU usage i’m seeing drops to like 80% in many games on my 1440P/144hz G-sync monitor so yeah.
CPU Bottleneck or memory bottleneck probably both. However i’m still satisfied. More mad about Nvidia not improving A-sync compute more or how Nvidia has been kind of sloppy with some of its latest drivers.
Also how can one regret buying a G-sync monitor i probably love my monitor more then my PC lol then again its a XB270HU and i came from a 1080P/60FPS cheap IPS screen the difference was night and day
I got the Dell one. 🙂 Its not as expensive as the IPS ROGS/Acers, but it has 0 faults. No bleeds,dust, dead pixels,lines,bad yellow colors or anything else. Just perfect and a ton cheaper cuz its TN and Dell. Asus just overprices everything. Their TN g sync monitor costed more than the dell, and it had 15 more problems. ROFL
I had to go with IPS to picky myself but yeah i got real lucky with my monitor not having any of those issues. Some were so bad when they came out i thought they would have fixed those issues by now.
IPS ones are good too, but they got their own set of problems. All in all.. it all depends on the money, what u want and well.. if the monitor is good xD
Sweet that u found a good 1. I had to go thru 7 monitors, until i went for TN G sync 🙂
you already can just dial down settings, there are always compromises when it comes to gaming and always will be
That’s BS peasant speak, You need a back hand across the face. lol
Some people buy the latest and greatest so they don’t compromise, No one should be turning down any setting if you are running high end multiple gpu’s
You will still get games where higher settings run like dirt. Also at 4K max settings is not reality.
This will happen in 2018 when Nvidia releases Volta with 32 GB GDDR6. So be patient for 1,5 year from now like me and then buy new GPU,
DICE broke it not Nvidia. Wait for DICE to fix it.
It’s the roll of the DICE for that being patched soon.
see what you did there
Strange? the new AMD drivers claim to have fix the flicker for crossfire users.

Fixed.
No need to be pedantic he was near enough right.
This is why they are pushing GFE more and more , they want to get reckless with their drivers and push the updates fast.
WHQL my a*s these days but whatever , as long as it doesn’t screw up the GPUs – artifacts n’ sh*t… eh it’s “okay”.
No notes = More spyware.
Downloaded the driver and it can not installed. It says that it hs not compatible with windowa and my hardware! What going on? I have 970 G1 GAMING and GTX 970 G1 GAMING
