BAh, looks like I won't get my stepup 980 before witcher 3 launches. Oh well. I'll still enjoy it with my single rock-steady 970.

Did you guys perform a clean install of the driver? It's definitley not on on my monitor. And I made no changes in the program or global settings in the NVCPL. Although I haven't launched a game yet and then go back to desktop to see if the light stays on after exiting. I'll try it.

Are you using windows 7? if so I think the Gsync problem is there on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 "according to ManuelG. It has something to do with how the new WDDM 2.0 guidelines and Gsync function, so nvidia had to create a workaround to get it to work on Windows 10 by constantly sending the signal to the monitor. Gsync technically isn't on, but the monitor doesn't know that. Nvidia is trying to find a method that will work (per-profile Gsync control or something), but it sounds more like Asus needs to update the firmware on the monitor to resolve the issue in the long run" Which I don't think Asus will ever release a firmware update for this issue. we just have to live with it.

Not to sound insulting and just to confirm, you guys are talking about the "Gsync indicator light"? The small red light on the bottom right corner of the monitor and not the large red ring that lights up at the base of the monitor stand.

Yes, Win7. The last driver just before this one had the "light staying on" issue on my system with Win7. With this driver it is functioning properly again.

i'm on win 7 and even after a clean install, still the red light. this is not the real deal for me, what's boring me the most is that u cannot switch off gsync even if it's forced off in nvidia control panel, unlike the 347.88 version edit: lol mb actually you can, I hate the led staying always red though^^

Well Brian, I'm as much upset as you are but after spending over 10 years of dealing with various issues and always trying fix the next broken thing I came to a point that some things are just out of our control and too many variables are involved to even be able to point finger on who is at fault here. Just by reading my quote from above you can tell that Nvidia is blaming this on both MS and Asus so in reality there is nothing you or I can do and we just have to wait and see how this plays out. I'm way over my return period on my ROG Swift but if it's possible and makes you feel better, return your ROG Swift and wait for something newer.

I've now had to install the driver 3 separate times due to system hard freeze's, lock up in games etc. Anyone else experience this? I always tick clean install and only have Phys X & the driver, nothing else. I also don't have Geforce Experience. Great that this is happening right before TW3 -_-

My indicator light is always on with these drivers as well, however, it does act differently than with previous drivers that had this issue as well. When I change resolution, it disables temporarily for a few seconds, then returns to red on the desktop. I haven't gamed on these yet, but I was hopeful they might solve some driver crashes I've been having since moving to the 350.12's a little while back. 347.88 works perfectly, however. (I'm using Windows 10 btw) I can confirm that I do not experience this in Windows 7. Since I began dual booting around a month ago to try out new drivers in both Windows 10 and Windows 7, I've seen it's simply an issue in Windows 10 (and I assumed 8 and 8.1 as well given the similarities.)

Have you tried out the latest WHQL driver for Win10 (352.84) to see if this light issue is still present? >> http://forums.evga.com/NVIDIA-releases-GeForce-35284-WHQL-drivers-for-Windows-10-Insider-Preview-m2336210.aspx

might want to look into something else, Fennicillin i havent had any issues with GTA V, i will test the new drivers out tonight to be sure, but the previous two have been fine. i do however notice memory issues with MK X, but i read that is the game, not Nvidia edit: my rig has been folding away for about an hour now with these drivers, no problems so far
