Today we released a new Hotfix driver that addresses the following issue:

• Chrome Crashes/Freezes/TDRs
• Delays when starting or switching apps & games with GSYNC enabled

 

One thing I would like to talk about in this driver is NVIDIA's concerns for the feedback you have provided to them via the EVGA and NVIDIA forums. I had a chance to test these drivers early and I wasn't allowed to discuss them until now.
 
TDR crashes are one of the most important issues that has been ongoing for some time.
 
I can't speak for NVIDIA or EVGA but I have found these drivers to be very stable and very promising. For those of you experiencing repeated TDRs please install these drivers. My personal suggestion is that you perform a custom install and choose the clean install option.
 
I would ask also that when testing these please have an open mind and if you find them to resolve your issues please let everyone know by posting here. If you don't see any improvements in TDRs please let us know your full system specs, overclocking or no overclocking.
 
When posting here with positive or negative feedback be as detailed as you can. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best with this release.
 
One more thing. For Windows 10 I don't have an answer for you at this time concerning the same hotfix driver.

No SLI for the new Batman Arkham Knight game? 

NVIDIA is working with the game manufacturer to try and resolve the issues associated with this game.

I know they are working on fixes, but I'm not actually experiencing any problems in the game besides SLI not working.  I'm just mad that they put in the description for the 353.30 drivers that they had a SLI profile for Batman Arkham Knight, but they didn't include it.  So now they put out a hotfix driver and still didn't include the SLI profile?  That's just a slap to our face.

Firefox says that is an untrusted site. Now what?

http://international.download.nvidia.com/Windows/353.38/353.38-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international.hf.exe Here, it is a direct connect.  It isn't an Official WHQL type driver so it isn't on the main page is what I am guessing.  That is the link though, because you are probably clicking the USA link at the top of the page.  Scroll to the bottom of the page, and the 64 bit Windows Desktop link is there.

My PC says it losses focus and throws tantrums with these new drivers.  Back to 350.12 for me.

Please everyone we could use some feedback here. Let us know if these drivers are fixing your TDR issues.

It´s unfortunate that no one is giving feedback for such a widespred problem, i know it´s been less than a day but still.. i´ve been gaming (30min sessions) without a problem so far, the only thing is that know the gpu only goes to 98% utilization in all games (for me thats not a problem since i dont get crashes or lower performance.)
 
Edit: If people dont complain i will assume it´s all good since the majority of people only post problems.

My main interest was to try and see if most or all of the TDR issues are now solved.

For me, at least for now it´s solved (or at least much more stable since it´s been almost a day without a single tdr, before i would have at least 3 or 4 just browsing with chrome).
 
Maybe you could change the thread title a little bit just to gather some atention ( maybe 353.38 hotfix feedback needed or something like that)

Since EVGA management posted this I don't think I should change the title unless they ask me to.

I don`t understand why everyone thinks everything should be fixed yesterday, give nvidia some time, be patient. These cards are brand new.  353.30 are working fine for me. As far as Chrome and the TDR`s go, just turn off hardware acceleration. I personally have not had 1 issue yet running Batman at 60 FPS. Not 1 dmp file in Watchdog 

Of course it should been fixed "yesterday" (for me it seems it finally is). 3 or 4 tdr´s a day just browsing is not normal and why should i have to turn off hw acceleration when it was working 3 driver sets ago? and the tdr were not just while browsing it happened alot during games, i stopped gaming two weeks ago because of that. Finally it seems i can play again without fearing my system will crash and lose my progress. 
 
I know it didnt happened to everyone, but there were alot of users affected just by seeing some forums (evga,nvidia,guru3d,ocnet,etc).

i just hope nvidia doesnt revert the changes in official driver because of the low feedback :(
 
Im trying my best in nvidia forums for people start to give feedback. At least it seems there is a drop in complains.

I was getting TDR in the last 2 drivers so far this one is more stable
