[UPDATE – 11:25AM, 18/11/2016]: Nvidia has released a Hotfix that addresses the low memory clock issue affecting certain Pascal-based graphics cards. The latest GeForce Hotfix driver version 375.95 can be downloaded here.
Nvidia’s most recent Game Ready driver, version 375.86, is reportedly having major issues according to several sources. A number of users were seen reporting in-game performance issues after updating to the latest driver This prompted Nvidia to post a list of known issues with the 375.86 driver in its official support forum page.
In it’s forum post, Nvidia has mentioned that there are five problem discovered on its Game Ready 375.86 driver. These include: noticeable display flickers on Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare (SLI); jittery menu text on Battlefield 1; and ‘”incorrect [email protected] work units.”
But the most prominent issue of all would have to be the one that is allegedly affecting “some Factory Overclocked GTX 1080/1070/1060 GPUs.” According to Nvidia, these graphics cards may have their video memory stuck at 810MHz. Fear not, the company mentioned that it is looking into issuing a Hotfix as soon as possible.
This has been a great year for Nvidia when it comes to releasing graphics cards, but its driver releases tell a different story. Knowing all of this, we would advice our readers to hold off installing Nvidia’s Game Ready 375.86 driver for now – especially if you own any GTX 10 series graphics cards. At least until the company releases a new, more stable driver.
