Hi all,
With the Creator's Update just around the corner, I decided to try Nvidia's latest driver. However, after loading it up, I found that my voltage would not go below 705mV, when my normal idle was 625mV. I find this rather worrying, as it seems that previous drivers will not work with the Creator's Update. I have confirmed that it was the new driver by reinstalling MSI AB after a fresh install of the new driver, checking voltage (705mV), and repeating these steps with 378.92 (625mV). Does anyone have any suggestions? Are other 1080 owners running this driver without problems?
Thanks.

Go back to the previous driver until a new one comes out again.

I've had no issues with this driver, 7700k/ 1080/ Z270/ Windows 10 ( non creators, latest stable update. )
it's actually been quite better than the past few for me!

Right, thanks for the responses. Hopefully I will be able to postpone the Creator's Update until Nvidia releases a hotfix (as they always do). Otherwise, I will find out if previous drivers work with this new windows version. Cloiselle1, is your idle voltage 625mV?
Thanks

running 378.92 on windows creator update fixed the higher idle voltage for me. so i would go back to 378.92 and wait out the next driver like xray said

No, I use K boost 24/7 and my idle voltage is 1.093 with 100% Allowed via Precision X.
If I disable K boost and " Maximum performance power setting. " In the Nvidia control panel it does drop voltages and clocks on idle, but certain programs will use your gpu such as chrome or video players, that will demand a higher clock rate and voltage vs a truly idle system, maybe that's what you were seeing?

Thanks for the info. I guess I will install 381.65 right before updating to the Creators Update. Great info.

No, this was idle on the desktop with nothing else beside MSI AB running. Power setting is "Adaptive" in Nvidia Control Panel. Hopefully the driver will work fine with the Creators Update. Thanks

This driver does cause the primary gpu to increase its voltage at idle. My primary card went from 625mv to 680mv.

378.92 has been working fine on my creators update. just download it off http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us when installing it i suggest to either use ddu or at least check mark the clean install on custom install when installing the drivers

Same with me. Voltage was always at 625MV with previous drivers and with this driver (optimal power) I idle at 687MV. Manual G is aware and filed a bug report (Geforce forums). I assume there is no risk to the hardware, right? And this is the Windows 10 CU driver. Terrific start, Nvidia. PS: tried both DDU and Nvidia clean install. Even uninstalled and reinstalled Precision XOC. Same voltage issue.

No risk. Just uses a little more power at idle.

No risk. Just uses a little more power at idle.
Do you mean, move the slider up from 100% power? Also I notice in playing games with my plus ten fan percent to temp fan curve I'm up 2 degrees on max temp (like ROTTR) from 74-76. Not bad but the temps are higher with this driver as many are reporting on the GeForce forums.

Got you. It just USES a bit more power.

I decided to reinstall the 381.65. After DDUing 378.92 and installing 381.65 I found that my idle voltage was .705, as expected. However, after putting load on the card and returning to idle, my voltage is back at .625. Very odd. Either way, Nvidia needs to get working on their drivers. So many issues in the past few months.

It's a bug. Same on my 1060.
If I let the monitor go to sleep voltage drops to normal and stay there until I restart the system again.

Same here. 1080 on Win7 x64. Voltage was 0.6250v, now reading 0.6870 at idle. More worrying is the several reports I've read around the web stating higher loaded temps.

Hotfix driver 381.78 fixes the voltage issue.

Got to be honest guys. While it's a difference from before it's not really an issue or something to worry about at all. Your cards will be fine at any voltage level on load or idle nvidia dictates.

This. That bug is not going to destroy your PCs.
