There is a thread already opened on the new driver. You can probably get the information you are looking for by typing in 347.25 in the search box.

The new drivers only gives support for the 960 release as well as a new type of AA mode so I didn't bother with them

Sajin said it fixed the issue with GPU usage dropping with SLI cards, so that is pretty significant for some.

This isn't uncommon when new drivers are released.  New drivers sometimes have performance improvements and can cause a once stable OC to become a little unstable.

No issues for me either. It's been since Saturday. Out of state until Wednesday evening and I will check. I expect there to be no issues.

So this driver  dosnt like me! First I had to get rid of my OC and today my gpus wouldnt downclock, even in idle they stayed at 1045,typically they would downclock to 324. I unistalled prec then did a reinstall, no good, took msi AB off and did a clean install of prec( I even installed prec16, same thing), finally i went back to 344.48 and now they are downclocking to 324 like normal.

What kind of monitor do you have? If your monitor is set to 144hz, it's not uncommon for the card to stay at max clocks. Dropping it to 120hz when not gaming would solve that issue.

What's your "Power Management Mode" set to in nVidia Control Panel? Adaptive OR Prefer Maximum Performance?

If using "Prefer Max Perf" mode, anytime you have a 3D program (app) running, it will force your clock speed up from idle.  Since you're using a "non factory" vBIOS, I can't be certain what might also be going on.

I just installed the synapse 2.0 software for my razor perifs. That runs in the background I'll try and disable it and see what happens.

Sounds like that could be the culptrit.  Let us know if closing it out resolves your issue...

Good call.  The Synapse software is one of the few applications that need to be shut down in order to enable/disable SLI.  I'll keep that in mind if anyone else has a similar issues.

Has anyone w 7xx series installed the new 347.25 driver yet, and if so how is it going? Only discsion i found about the driver was for the 9xx series.


770 SC ACX Sli here, I've had issues with the 347 family of drivers, mostly just erratic driver crashes. Best luck so far with the 344.65 driver tbh and I've tried them all.
