Updated to nvidia driver 344.11

I recently updated my GPU driver to 344.11 and I noticed a sluggish performance with playing games like DOTA 2, CS: GO and The Witcher. The frame rate will dramatically drop and i was used to having smooth frame rates before the update.. This is kinda annoying and still trying to figure out if it is the driver causing the problem.
Does anybody updated their driver as well?

Follow these steps to do s fresh clean installation of any version of nvidia drivers:-
Press "Windows Key" + "R" together and type %temp% then press "Ok".
In that new window, press “Ctrl” + “A” together to select all the files and folders
Then press “Shift” + “Delete” to remove them. (leave few files which you are not able to delete)
Try "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) " to completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, without leaving leftovers behind (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store) :
http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
1. Better to create a "system restore" point before using it.
2. You do NOT need to uninstall "NVIDIA Graphics" drivers before using DDU
3. Open the link and click on "Download" button. It will open another page, select the topmost "Download" button for the latest version.
4. Then run : "DisplayDriverUninstaller.exe" file
5. It will give you a notice to create "Restore Point", so better to create one ( if not created earlier ).
6. Click "No" when it asks "Reboot in safe mode now ?"
7. Select Nvidia from the dropdown menu on the top, Select all the 5 checkboxes there. Then click on "Clean and Restart" button.
8. try "Perform Clean Installation" while installing the latest driver

Problems with Premiere Elements 8 after updating to Nvidia driver 195.81 or later?

Hello PRE8 users,
If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
Best regards,
Chad
For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
Premiere Elements 8 does not restart after closing on Windows
Frequent and inexplicable crashes with Premiere Elements 8
To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher, by following the steps below.
1.      Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
2.      Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
3.      After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:

Up here I copied and posted my PC's spec's. Since upgrading to the new driver, my problems increased. I seem to experience more crashes than before. Happens randomly and I can not see a pattern.   (I have noticed dragging clips from one area to another on the time line is no-no)

Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 after?

I have just installed CS4 on Windows 7 and I get the message that I need to update NVIDIA driver.
Is it really neccassary to update driver even if I have no problems using Photoshop?
Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 afterwards or is there a way around it?
Here are the technical details:

Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll,nvwgf2um.dll

I have never had to reinstall any program for a video driver.
Now, check out the instructions for your particular nVidia driver, and the exact steps can differ. Just did my Quadro FX-4500 and it was just an install over the older driver. However, looking at another nVidia card's driver, and there were 3-4 settings in the nVidia console, that had to be reset BEFORE installing that driver. Did not affect me, but would have been a different operation for the next guy, with a different nVidia card. nVidia makes it easy with the necessary instructions - follow those to the letter, or issues can arise and the entire driver can get hosed. Things could be a simple as download, and execute, to having to do several things before you execute.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cannot record in video anything since last update of nvidia driver.

Hello.
Since last nvidia update on testing (following linux 3.4 kernel landing on testing), I cannot get anything to be recorded in video.
There is no recordable stream, if I understand well what I have in my .xsession-errors log file :

Anyone seeing this too ?

I keep getting those errors, did you solve it?
I run 3.13.11-2-ck with nvidia.

Can't update nvidia driver on Satellite P25-S507

I've followed the instructions:
1. uninstalled the original nvidia driver
2. installed the updated driver downloaded from nvidia www page.
3. There was NO RESULT. The new driver was not installed, so I had to reinstall the old driver
4. As a result I can't use OpenGL 1.5 and my generated renderings are of poor quality.
So: Why can't I update the nvidia driver?

I've solved the problem after having consulted the US laptop forum. I've downloaded the ForceWare 56.63 and updated the driver. It works great.

LATEST NVIDIA DRIVER OR MSI OLDER DRIVER

I'm currently using MSI 311.06 driver but NVIDIA has already released version 320.18.
Should I update to NVIDIA driver and why?

newest drivers include fixes and peformance optimizations
so try latest one, go back to msi one only if you have issues with nvidia one

Re: Does updating the display driver affect color management settings?

Hello everyone!
I have received a message about the new display driver update and I have some doubts about installing it. When I installed an update for the BIOS driver, all BIOS settings returned to the default ones, but in that case it wasn't a big deal to set them again according to my needs. But I spent, probably, half a day, adjusting the color, using the color management, and I really want to keep the settings I've done. So, please, tell me, if updating the nVidia driver affects these settings and if there's any way of backuping them? Thank you very much!

Hi,
If you install a graphic card driver, your setting will be set by default. To be honestly, I don't see any reason to update drivers if the system runs well. I still use the same drivers I downloaded before and don't make update for new one. About backing up the settings, I don't know how to do it.Anyway, I have never thought about it.
You are welcome, if have more questions.

Nvidia driver 305.93 & Premiere Pro CS5.5

I am running CS5.5.2 on a Z400 Workstation Win7 64bit. with Matrox MX02 LE. I have a Quadro FX4800 graphics card.
I have just updated the Nvidia driver to the latest version - 305.93. Now when I open a project in Premiere the program monitor shows just the bottom third of the picture and is broken up into blocks. If I roll back the driver to the previous one I was using (276.42) everything returns to normal.
Has anypne else experienced this & is there a soution. Everything I read seems to say 'Install the latest driver' !!

The advice will also say... If something isn't broken... don't try to fix a nonexistent problem!
Unless something is not working with driver 276.42 there is no reason for YOU to update... someone else, with a different mix of hardware, may need to update
My 1st video editing computer, a model year 2002 Alienware Pentium 3 with Premiere 6 and an nVidia card, would only work properly with ONE specific nVidia driver... anything earlier or later and I had problems with video editing... so I simply used that specific driver

Nvidia driver 320.49 not work with premiere cs5

I updated my nvidia driver to 320.49, so premiere cc can detect and work with cuda. But premiere cs5 can't play video with the new driver. It worked fine with 296. If I use 296, premiere cc can't detect cuda.
Any solutions? Like switch nvidia driver for different premiere versions?

Any driver pre 320.xx apprear solid.

The thing is: it works with 304.51, but doesn't work with 304.60. I consider such behavior wrong.

NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes Win 8.1 Pro

NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes/kills/shuts down Win 8.1 Pro, which also fails to start!
The previous version 340.52 worked ok.
Solution to get a working system:
1) let Win 8.1 take into use the previous working version (you may loose some app updates)!
2) let Win 8.1 pro update itself (takes a long time but its worth waiting!)
Note:
a. Ten points to Win 8.1 Pro being able to restore the previous working version
note: compare to Linux with eternal rest loop and "kernel in panic" state if you use NVidia's new drivers!!
b. Zero points to NVidia from this bug!
Continuation: waiting for a well tested new NVidia driver while using the older one

Hi, had exactly the same last night, on my relatively clean 8.1 64bit, GeForce Experience flagged up a recommended upgrade from 340.52 to 344.11 on my GTX650 ASUS card. Bumbled along for a while, then blue screened, reported kernel damage,
wouldn't even get far enough to restore, so had to use the 8.1 disks. Today, given its a completely clean system I tried again to prove the Nvidia was to blame, and again GeForce flagged up this upgrade, there's nothing on the system except
for Office and Avast, and again completely crashed and cycled the blue screen trying to boot. This time it eventually went into repair mode and restored right back to a clean 8.1 without the DVD's, but still had to reinstall my apps. Lots about
this on forums, seems this upgrade scrambles the registry big time. Anyone know what the actual cause of this was ?? Pretty fed up with Nvidia releasing untested crap like this.

Hi,
I am using my Late 2012 rMBP also in bootcamp with windows 7 64-bit
Often I see a popup from the NVidia Control Panel saying that a new update is available. Most of the time, the update adds new game profiles and such... I only use my Mac for CAD. But sometimes they also fix bugs or improve routines...
I know I am "safe" to ignore these messages.
But is it also "not recommended" (or even "dangerous") to install these updated drivers?
Probably, the included driver in the bootcamp driver pack is tweaked for these MBPs.... but is it?
Regards,

Y510p and problem with Update Nvidia Driver

Hi everyonei have problem with updating my y510p lenovo laptop nvidia driver ,my current nvidia driver version is 327.62 which i download from lenovo website,Now for better performance in new games like gta v and witcher3 ,i decide to updating nvidia driver,first remove my nvidia graphic driver from add or remove then download nvidia ver 350 from nvidia official web site , which nvidia website confirm it support my graphic card which is Gt755m , then i install new ver and during install i check clean install , after successful install , restart laptop , then there was problem . when i try to open nvidia control panel it wont running and an error showed up and said "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" .i try to open a game , game running in really low fps and i find out game run on hd graphic of my laptop and my nvidia graphic wont run .The only way to repair was i install my last nvidia driver 327.62 and run a system restore .guys what is your suggestion and how i can update my y510p nvidia driver ?Thanks

Hi Y510Man,
     The video graphics installation order is important. You need to install the Intel Graphics first, and then do the Nvidia. IIRC you should un-install the Nvidia driver, then re-install (or upgrade) the Intel HD Graphics driver. Reboot, and install the new Nvidia driver.
     I don't know why, but every time I upgraded my Y470 Nvidia driver, I had to use this procedure. First install, or re-install, the Intel driver, then install the Nvidia. You can't just upgrade the Nvidia driver without a re-install of the Intel. I think it has to do with the Optimus setting, and the automatic switching.
    Let us know how it goes.
Cheers

Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010. Yesterday I updated my mac to System 10.9 and now I have a dialogue box in system preferences saying I need to update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers but the servers are unavailable. I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

W530 please update nvidia driver asap!!!

the nvidia driver from nvidia just makes computer to bluescreen on reboot.. cant play bf4(yeah i know its no gamerig) with the lenovo drivers... cant be that hard. nvidia has several updates since yours. please fix asap!!!

Hi all
If you have installed NVIDIA driver from Lenovo, you could just update it with the original driver from NVIDIA itself. For stability / performance, update your Intel HD Graphics also if you are using NVIDIA Optimus mode.
