WARNING!!!! NVidia Driver 364.47 is faulty!

[JCitron]

The just-released video driver for G-force cards, 364.47 is faulty. It will cause BSODs in Windows 7 and black screens after install on Windows 10.

The recovery solution is to restore to a previous version using a Windows restore point.

NVidia has just released a beta-stream update to replace that driver, however, install at your own risk.



I know this should be posted in the hardware discussions forum, but this is more urgent than a casual read on video cards

Just been reading about this on the Nvidia forums, seems to be a bit of a screwup! I always check there before installing new drivers, what I find strange is the driver was WHQL certified, doesn't say much for whatever approval process Microsoft use.

I do the same and that's why I posted this here.

I wonder too about WHQL process - unless something got corrupted between the certification and the release.

Thanks for the warning- I'd have installed this yesterday if I didn't have Max and Photoshop open when it prompted.

I don't auto-update, I get email notifications so I can go check first!

Driver is still available as well thought they should have pulled it by now?

From Nvidia https://forums.geforce.com/default/...play-driver-feedback-thread-released-3-7-16-/

UPDATE: After finding a critical installation issue, the team has replaced yesterday’s driver (364.47) with today’s new driver (364.51).

This driver has been submitted to Microsoft for WHQL-approval and we will update the driver package online as soon as we have the certified package.

No problems for me either maybe only related to certain cards.

364.47 - thanks Obama.

361.91 over here. I only update if required. No point in updating to accommodate other card new features if they don't apply to my card. GTX 980 SC AC 2.0 by eVGA.

Thanks for the information. Had a look at their forum and some folk are still having issues. I will stick with 358.50 presently as it seems to be very reliable - so far. (Pays to add "so far" because knowing murphy's law.. )

I downloaded this driver earlier today not knowing it was trouble. Just did a test with some games and no problems on my machine.

I installed it and haven't had any real problems - yet!. Win10 didn't want to book today but after pressing the reset button it came good. Have been zooming around, like Superman, in a new route without any issues.

Oh, just remembered that I did get a video driver error while trying to shut down AssetX that was running during the install. Yes, I know I should close everything during installs.

I'll stay with this buggy version until the revised one gets through checking. NVidia do seem to punch out a lot of updates.

I'm now using NVidia graphics driver 364.51 in conjunction with dual GTX780ti GPUS, i7-3930k CPU @3.20GHz and WIN 10 Pro insider build 14279.
No problems so far with the graphics driver.

I note that this driver incorporates support for the Vulkan API, a cross platform successor to AMD Mantle, MS DirectX and OPEN GL, OPEN CL. Is this the future path for Trainz NEXT? Implementation mid 2016 but more likely end 2016 and onwards.

New one out today.

 

[Firefighterdan]

Just downloaded it!
