Use the Nvidia site to grab your drivers.  The Geforce site is meh. - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx

Is that the only thing that was changed in this driver?

No, just the highlight
 
I did not see a list of "All fixes" ---- bet the X299 crowd hopes SLI is fixed

Would be nice to see a list of "all fixes" if there are actually more than just the Titan Xp optimization.  Otherwise it's not worth the hassle (for me) of trying them since I don't have a Titan Xp...
 
Somebody on the Guru3D forums mentioned there was no fix for SLI on the X299.  He/she wasn't very specific with details however.

This driver allows more professional functionality from Titan XP in order for NVIDIA to compete against the upcoming AMD Radeon Pro Vega

Proof that nvidia needs the competition so they will stop sandbagging and overcharging their customers. Good on AMD for causing this.

No idea. Someone with a 1080 ti needs to run all the tests.

I'm always leery of installing Nvidia's new drivers anymore; it used to be they'd be pretty solid but it's a roll of the dice any longer as far as performance and stability goes. At least, that's been my experience.

Re: New 385.12 BETA Driver From Nvidia 2017/08/02 09:38:32 (permalink)
I ran the benchmark (3 tests) with both driver versions 384.94 and this new beta 385.12.  All settings & CPU/GPU clock speeds the same.  Here are my results.
 
384.94
 

 
385.12
 

 
I'd say they are within the margin of error, but the new beta driver results are all just a bit lower on my 1080.

Looks like it didn't help the 1080 any. Someone with a 1080 ti needs to run some tests.

Actually the driver page only states it's for titan xp. I don't have a titan xp. I have a nvidia titan x.

Nvidia should have stopped sandbagging when they disabled double precision on the Maxwell titan and then the Pascal titan's. Period. Glad they got caught with their pants down and I wish users would stop blindly supporting their habits.

I don't know if anyone is/was expecting anything from GPU's other than the Titan Xp, but since Nvidia never states "all" the fixes and improvements in their drivers, I thought it was worth giving it a try at least.  You just never know until you try...

I don't think most understand the way economics work and might have cases of compulsive buying.  Folks need to learn to vote with their wallets as I'am right now holding back from purchasing a 1080 Ti.

Yes, when and where AMD can do good, it can be very good for the Consumer.

I love Nvidia, but this last year Nvidia has been very lackluster and slacking when it come to Drivers. When 20 years ago i would have bought an ATI GPU, but switched for the same things i'm talking about how lacking Nvidia is in Drivers. I don't want to get an AMD/ATI GPU if i ever need a new one, but more people with Common sense will leave Nvidia no matter how good the GPU's are, unless Nvidia can keep up with Driver optimization for their GPU's.
 
And right now in my opinion, they are failing big time.

I think AI and among other things might be possibly taking up the resources they once had for other areas like Driver optimization, etc.
