    Possible issue with the nvidia 355.60 Drivers

    Wanted to just post this here as I've seen similar posts all over here and on the wow forums and I resolved my issue by backreving the drivers to 353.60

    Working on Hellfire Assault. My framerate tanked down to the point where the game was unplayable. 1fps, frame by frame action. The card was pushing out an abnormal amount of heat.

    I am using Windows 10 and an Nvidia GTX 770 card. Rebooted my machine and sat in the garrison and noticed that my frame rate was at a steady 60fps. I didn't think anything of it till I went and checked my vsync settings. Vsync was disabled and I was still getting 60fps. Then I noticed my fans were speeding up to max which was abnormal for my workstation.

    I rolled the driver back to 353.62. Logged back into game and my frame rate went back to normal, the temps on my card went back to normal.

    191fps sitting in my garrison.

    the 355.60 fails to install and keeps trying to install it through windows(7) for me. I went back to older one aswell to fix it.

    Hm, I haven't had any problems with it after playing HotS and Dota all night, but I have an older card and it wasn't WoW...

    Nice to know though if any issues do pop up!

    Are you using SLI or single?

    Bluntly put it, Nvidia and Windows 10 don't mix at the moment.

    GTX 760 using 355.60, W10 Pro, haven't had any problems with these, or past drivers for W10.

    It's a wide reported issue that SLI on Windows 10 has memory leak issues. Lower VRAM will show it quicker while having more you won't experience the issues for a while during gaming sessions.

    It's an acknowledged issue by Nvidia, so saying it's not there isn't a thing.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Star Citizen/GTA V was working all weekend just fine at 5760x1080.

    Everything there and around "teh internetz" looks like its limited to BF4. Also limited to Maxwell, so not sure how it would be affecting OP's 770.

    Didn't say it's "not there" anyway, just not experiencing it. Which makes sense, since I don't play BF4.

    GTA V for you on Kepler. It's not only BF4. It's an issue with SLI in general.

    Found it.

    If it was in general, then it would stand to reason I'd be seeing it too?

    If it's been so prevalent, I'd have probably seen it in Witcher 3 as well prior to the aug 13 release.

    So again, I must just be special? I like being special.

    Im using 355.62 on gtx 770 and windows 10. Works fine. Was on 355.60 before that and it was fine as well. I did do a clean install of windows 10 and disabled automatic updates so it wouldnt download drivers and updtaes for me though

    Overclocked GTX 970 with Windows 10 Pro and this driver. No issues here, on both laptop and desktop (laptop has 750M).

    I am also having this issue, I have a single gtx 980ti and recently upgraded to windows 10 and am also using the 355.60 driver. I've mainly been playing Ark and my pc temps have been through the roof (15 degrees C or more higher than normal) gonna see if i can rollback the driver to see if that will fix the issue.

    This is a known issue.

    The latest drivers are causing overheating in Windows 10 (and reportedly by others in Windows 7/8.1 as well).
    You're best off using Display Driver Uninstaller to clean it entirely and reinstall an older driver version untill nVidia fixes this.

    Simple answer: Shit happens... revert to an older one and you're golden.
