Where did you get the standard driver? I can’t get it to come up on this page....

Several MB difference in size between dch and standard.

I’m going to check from another browser.

Is the standard version smaller than the DCH version?

Yes standard is 588mb...and DCH over 600mb
 
I just installed the standard and it works good, although I didn't have issues with the previous drivers
 
Strange that you have issues  with seen them

Yea. Don't know why it's not coming up correctly on my end, but I did finally download from the link above and it appears to be correct. Thanks!!

So I know this question has been asked a million times, but what is the best way to install a new driver, but keep all of my NVCP settings?  Is it possible?  I used to always do DDU, then install the Standard.  Am I stuck in the old ways?

So I updated my driver and just happened to have MSI afterburner running and logging GPU temps.  Before the update I was idling at 23c, I applied the update and my idle temps jumped up to 36c, and even with 100% fan speed I can't get below 29c.  Room temp is 17c.
 
I'll look at power use next but thought I'd post this up.

Check your clock isn't pinned at ~1800MHz on idle (or whatever is spec for your model card), just wondering if that is the cause.

Thanks, I didn't even notice that but you're right...it's pinned at 1800mhz.  

Ok.. now to figure out if that is a bug or a feature with this new driver, lol.

Rolled back to 457.30 and clocks drop down to 210mhz on idle, and temps are back to normal.  Just odd that we aren't hearing more people say this is happening to them.  

Not sure why yours is playing hard to get. I updated mine today and it seems it is better then the last driver for me. Runs smoother and temps are fine. Not sure if im just thinking it runs better or not but I think it is :)
 

I just re-upgraded to 457.51, and this time I didn't select "Perform a clean install" in the custom settings, I just let it install naturally.  
 
Now my card has the correct idle behavior.  Interesting behavior.

 don't see my other issue with TDR blackscreens when web browsing listed as fixed yet, but I'll try it here and test it out.
 

 
It didnt for me.

This new update has been great for me. Everything seems smoother, no weird issues at all. 3080 FTW3 Ultra +125/500 OC, idle 36-39c ish. Load temps still staying 63-65c

Last driver had weird issues and not smooth and all, and made the OC’s weird too.

Question - did you do a full uninstall of the previous driver first (maybe even DDU) before installing the new driver, or just installed over the top? If installed over the top, did you select "clean install"?

Installed over last one and not clean install. I’ve always done it that way.

Ok thanks, I usually do the uninstall first, but I'll give this one a shot and see what happens. Of course you realize if it turns to custard it's all your fault, right?
