Having Issues with your driver? Read here!

Before you start - Make sure you Submit Feedback for your Nvidia Driver Issue

There is only one real way for any of these problems to get solved, and that's if the Driver Team at Nvidia knows what those problems are.

So in order for them to know what's going on it would be good for any users who are having problems with the drivers to Submit Feedback to Nvidia.

A guide to the information that is needed to submit feedback can be found here.

Additionally, if you see someone having the same issue you are having in this thread, reply and mention you are having the same issue. The more people that are affected by a particular bug, the higher the priority that bug will receive from NVIDIA!!


Common Troubleshooting Steps

  • If you are having issue installing the driver for GTX 1080/1070/1060 on Windows 10, make sure you are on the latest build for Fall Creators Update (Version 1709. Build 16299). If you are on the older build (e.g. 10240), you need to update your windows. Press Windows Key R and type winver to check your build version.

  • Please visit the following link for DDU guide which contains full detailed information on how to do Fresh Driver Install.

  • If your driver still crashes after DDU reinstall, try going to Go to Nvidia Control Panel -> Managed 3D Settings -> Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance

If it still crashes, we have a few other troubleshooting steps but this is fairly involved and you should not do it if you do not feel comfortable. Proceed below at your own risk:

  • A lot of driver crashing is caused by Windows TDR issue. There is a huge post on GeForce forum about this here. This post dated back to 2009 (Thanks Microsoft) and it can affect both Nvidia and AMD cards.

  • Unfortunately this issue can be caused by many different things so it’s difficult to pin down. However, editing the windows registry might solve the problem.

  • Additionally, there is also a tool made by Wagnard (maker of DDU) that can be used to change this TDR value. Download here. Note that I have not personally tested this tool.

If you are still having issue at this point, visit GeForce Forum for support or contact your manufacturer for RMA.


Common Questions

  • Is it safe to upgrade to <insert driver version here>? Fact of the matter is that the result will differ person by person due to different configurations. The only way to know is to try it yourself. My rule of thumb is to wait a few days. If there’s no confirmed widespread issue, I would try the new driver.

Bear in mind that people who have no issues tend to not post on Reddit or forums. Unless there is significant coverage about specific driver issue, chances are they are fine. Try it yourself and you can always DDU and reinstall old driver if needed.

  • My color is washed out after upgrading/installing driver. Help! Try going to the Nvidia Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> Scroll all the way down -> Output Dynamic Range = FULL.

  • My game is stuttering when processing physics calculation Try going to the Nvidia Control Panel and to the Surround and PhysX settings and ensure the PhysX processor is set to your GPU

  • What does the new Power Management option "Optimal Power" means? How does this differ from Adaptive? The new power management mode is related to what was said in the Geforce GTX 1080 keynote video. To further reduce power consumption while the computer is idle and nothing is changing on the screen, the driver will not make the GPU render a new frame; the driver will get the one (already rendered) frame from the framebuffer and output directly to monitor.

Remember, driver codes are extremely complex and there are billions of different possible configurations. The software will not be perfect and there will be issues for some people.


For a more comprehensive list of open issues, please take a look at the Release Notes.

Again, I encourage folks who installed the driver to post their experience here... good or bad.

See my post, reference the MSI Afterburner and setting Core and Memory clocks....did you also notice anything like this?

[not loaded or deleted]

I have also been having issue since installing this latest driver.

1) Installation ended up with a black screen for ages, had to power cycle 2) After installation, on login, artifacts appear on screen, it hangs and then the display adapters/drivers rest and the screen comes back 3) MSI Afterburner no longer allows me to set Core and Memory clocks. After dialing in the new setttings, and click the tick, they both go back to 0.

I am going to do a DDU and then start again with 388.71 and see what happens.
