Hey guys,
 
This may come off as a silly question, but I'm curious what current Nvidia Drivers you guys are using? Seems to be a lot of stability issues with recent drivers, at least in my experience. I'm playing a lot of recent AAA titles, and am usually updating to the latest Nvidia Drivers pretty quickly. I always assumed if I am playing the most recent games, updating to the most recent Nvidia drivers would provide me with the best experience in game. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be true. For one, Battlefield 1 doesn't seem to be as stable as it was a few drivers ago. Could be because of the recent Battlefield patch, or maybe it's on Nvidias end with their drivers. Anyway, what do you guys think? Is there a specific Nvidia Driver set you guys would recommend in general? 

Windows 10 | Asus Maximus IX Hero | EVGA GTX 1080ti Hybrid| I7 7700k (4.8ghz) | Corsair Dominator Platinum 16gb (2x8) DDR4 3000mhz | Corsair RM850 Gold Power Supply | 850 Samsung EVO 1TB SSD X2| 840 Evo 256 GB SSD (Boot) | 1 TB Western Digital Black HD | Asus PG278Q Rog Swift 27" | Asus MX279H 27"

    Still on 376.48

    Anything newer just crash/lock with BF1 in SLI+Surround.

    373.06 were the last completely stable, problem free drivers for me - single 1080 ACX 3.0, and I don't play any games that force a driver update to play (BF1 does that I think?).
     
    EDIT: Looks like that BF1 driver requirement can be bypassed!

    Im reporting a similar problem to Unreal3man.  I started having multiple programs out of the windows 10 store, which use graphics acceleration, crash on launch as soon as I started applying the 2 most recent RTX-specific drivers.  Skype and Ark Survival Evolved are both crashing out on splash screens when  the 416.16, 411.70, or 411.63 driver builds are installed.  Reverting to driver build 399.07 posted on 8-28-2018 allowed all programs listed above to launch and run successfully.  Windows 10 store and OS are both up to date.
     
    Im running windows 10, 64 bit, build 1809.  , i7-6700K liquid cooled, GeForce GTX 1080 Classified, Quadro K2200 (no display adapters engaged, just used for CAD-program acceleration), 32GB ram, 500GB SSHD, 2x 4k displays @ 60hz.

    You may want to create your own Thread on your Issues, they are a mixed bag of different Graphics Card Platforms and usage.

    It would be better to report it to NVIDIA instead of reporting it here. Reporting it here will do nothing and it will quickly be forgotten.

    388.13 have been quite good to me for the past year, using them on a 1080 Ti, 1070 Ti and 1060 6GB.
     
    I only have the Display Driver, NV HDA and PhysX installed.
