With both of these drivers installed ROTTR has some weird issues.  With 372.54 the game had a hard time even starting up, it would freeze at the main menu and alt tabbing a few times would get it going again but it would still freeze while in the game, especially while fast travelling.  This occurs with both SLI on and off.  In the Geothermal valley, in some place called Valley Farmstead, I often experienced major framerate drops, down to 11 to 22 fps.  Sometimes walking out of that area brings the fps back where they used to be.  In 372.70, the freezes at the main menu and fast travel have mostly disappeared but the game still freezes and needs an "alt tab" kick in the ass to get going again, until it freezes again.  When it does freeze I can see GPU usage going straight to zero using Precision X.
 
I had no issues with the previous 368.xx drivers, actually just reinstalling that driver by clicking on it and choosing clean install instantly fixed the problem.  When I installed both 372.54 and 372.70 I did a DDU Safe Mode clean up first and removed Precision X OC before installing the new drivers.
 
Does anyone else have this issue?

    the game in DX12? Don't play ROTTR in DX12. It's totally unstable.

    It's fine for me even on DX12. Although it did not like my gameplay recorder that I use to post on YouTube, when I had the program the game wouldn't start. When I had it off it started fine and was able to play smoothly and run the benchmarks.

    It's a DX12 SLI issue anything past 368.69 drivers it seems. It's extremely frustrating that Nvidia releases new drivers optimized for new games but gimps older ones. I went back to 368.69 and I get 135 fps in 2K/144hz with my two 1080 classies.

    Thanks for the replies guys, hoping for new drivers.

    I am having issues with Star Wars Battlefront too. It freezes using Sli, as on totally locks the computer. Seems to be fine with one card. Maybe it's my motherboard, I will know by the weekend since I am switching from Z97 to X99.

    I went back to the 368.81 drivers and the game is totally fine in DX12 that way.  Besides the issues I reported with the new drivers above, in DX11 the performance was abysmal.  In DX11 the game didn't crash or freeze but the fps would be in the upper 40s to 60s most of the time with going up to the 80s in what seemed to me more taxing scenes, like lots of water vapor coming off a waterfall.  When monitoring GPU usage, both GPUs were only at around 50% usage, but when pushed more with Alpha Transparencies in the Waterfall area, they finally got pushed to the 80s and 90s which also showed in the fps going to the 80s.  Using the older drivers I get around 100 fps most of the time and usage is much higher with one card staying the 90s while the other is in the 80s.
     
    I can see why people like Consoles.... plug and play for the most part.  I guess you have to be somewhat smart to play on a PC and get the most out of it.

    yeah, these new drivers have been really weird for some reason. i made a thread about it, but it got (needlessly) Nazi'd into another sub-forum just because i don't have an EVGA GPU.
     
    there's some people (such as myself) that are experiencing higher than normal operating GPU temps after upgrading from 368.81. i haven't fired up ROTTR in a while, but i've been getting weird stutters and FPS drops, in League of Legends, that were never present before these new drivers.
     
    consoles are plug and play, but PC graphics are just on a whole different stratosphere. that's the trade off, i guess.
