So I am not feeding the fire here, BUT, I am at a loss myself...

Doesn't matter how I install/uninstall/safe mode/reboot... my statistically is running fine, but after a few minutes of gaming my textures change to carpet padding (Multi-colored specs).
 
I uninstalled all MSI Afterburner/Kombuster software, check both drivers for residue, uninstalled all my previous AMD drivers/stuff. Reboot in safemode, Driver Sweeper and CC Cleaner, Reboot, check Control Panel and uninstall anything remaining..., reboot, Install ONLY graphics driver and physX driver, reboot...
 
No worky - Not sure what else to do.

And lets not forget, forums are primarily for troubleshooting, not for success stories. Don't see that many come chime in saying IT WORKS GREAT!.. lol. So were missing out on literally THOUSANDS of people with no issue to confess their success stories with the rest. You can't base absolute failure off of one post that can't be 100% credited documentation, nor the people hoping on the band wagon saying their card some how magically broke. Wont surprise anybody if mass majority hops on cause their card was broken to begin with to fuel the troll fire. I can understand theres people with issues, but theres gotta be a conflict somewhere with something on their system.
 
Nothing against you Nite, you are however reputable in this community. Have you tested this driver to prove this random post on the internet? If you haven't tried the driver on a 570 i guess, with the listed of instructions to be safe? I don't see why you have anything to be afraid of upgrading the drivers, as drivers don't kill cards physically. Theres several people reporting no issues as it should be anyways. It's daily abuse we put our cards through, and not all of us get the good batch of cards and need to RMA at a moments notice. I guess I could be reluctant to upgrade the drivers I guesssss if my cards weren't under warranty, however all of mine are. I still feel strongly that these drivers work for alot of people, and only a fraction of people with actual problems as it always is for everything.

The above is a "perfect" example of the issue thats really going on with many users
*(no disrespect intended to the OP, see bottom of post)
 
No system, hardware or OS version mentioned....
 
Previous ATI card and drivers installed
Afterburner installed
Apparent swap of cards with ATI drivers still installed
Completely incorrect ATI driver removal 
Completely outdated and incorrect Nvidia driver handling with -repeated- serious mistakes
-Serious- incorrect use of registry cleaners
 
Texture problems reported.... game not mentioned
 
So thats 320.18's fault and his card is damaged.....  I dont think so
----------------------------------------------
 
 
To the OP, I am sorry you are having issues...
Please start your own thread in the correct series section for your Nvidia card model.
Please include your detailed hardware specs, monitor setup, OS version and game you are seeing texture problems with and I would be happy to help you recover and get you up and running with your Nvidia card

I warn anyone who cares.... do NOT download Nvidia drivers from "yume-akari.com"
Thats just asking for trouble
 
The new Nvidia driver will be released in a few days, and should -only- be downloaded from Nvidia

Has "honey pot" written all over it....
Given the current issues, this should be avoided and users should just wait for the official download

AzN-SoLjAI can understand theres people with issues, but theres gotta be a conflict somewhere with something on their system.
PC games themselves often are  the culprit for a lot of issues, patches can and do break a game. Also windows operating system can be the culprit, can't always blame GPU drivers and hardware. Metro Last Light has issues in some chapters i get a crash here and there when playing the game, Ghost Recon Future Soldier has a game breaking DirectX 11 bug on my system but Direct X 9 plays just fine and this is with the 320.11 drivers and 320.18, even if i just install the gpu drivers and physX software/drivers, GeForce Experience works fine, 3D Vision works fine, it's just some games that i play have the problems in the game code more than anything else. But everyone that plays pc games is entitled to their opinion and what they think is causing their issues i suppose. If it was the 32018 drivers that is the main culprit then all of my games would simply not work properly with the GTX 780. This is based on my personal testing and experience.

I've got three different cards in my PC for testing purposes as well as for folding@home and they all run just fine. if there was a problem with the 320.18 drivers I would have known by now

sorry but that is a bit silly sounding. just because you dont have the issues does not mean they are not causing issues for others. so I guess if your card did not overheat with the infamous 196.75 drivers thn there was not a problem there either? nvidia has already addressed some of the issues they think are causing problems with 320.18 and has fixes in the next drivers.

Nah man...Just follow Maniac's guide. Only install "custom"  uncheck everything but PhysX and put a check in "clean install". I have been running this driver on my 780 for a month now flawlessly. BF3, Skrim , Tomb Raider etc etc, all is running like a raped ape. Also just installed a Asus 770 for my buddy  2 weeks ago using this driver and all is well.

Never -ever- use the "Express" recommended install
 
Please read the "Quick Guide" in my 2013 Nvidia Driver Guide (linked below in my signature)

Yeah there will be 10000000000+ topics, did 320 damage my GPU:D?

This is a reason why i dont install that on my new 770:) For safety my psychic:) I am too consisent.  LOL
 
 
But i have heard that 320.39 is working good on some users with 7xx cards. Even that i am waiting for WHQL.

I stumbled across this thread and couldn't help but concern myself with it. I just installed my first of 2 reference 780s. When I installed, Precision X was not even on my machine and I did do the custom/clean install, however I installed the 3DVision and the audio drivers, as I have my card running to my 55VT50 through my receiver so I can game in 7.1 on my home theater system. Are having these installed going to possibly cause any issues?
