Game Ready Driver for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (v352.86)

http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/85053

with this driver i can get SLI on the fly to work on my laptop
i did change the RmDynamicSLIAllowed to 1 in regedit it did nothing
any solutions ?

thanx

 

That's weird. Let me download and install it and see what happens on my systems. I'll test it with 780M SLI and 980M SLI to see if I run into the same issue.

All it takes is missing one registry key being set to DWORD 0 instead of 1 to make it not work. While you are waiting for me to test it, might just double-check once more to make sure you did not miss one of the keys.

 

i did check it like 3 times still dont work all set on 1

 

Worked fine for me with 780M SLI without a reboot, BUT... this driver causes HORRIBLE throttling with my 780M cards exactly like 350.12 drivers. It's OK stock, but a wimpy little 150MHz core overclock screws everything up. Within just a few seconds the core clock and memory are down to 400MHz. So, this driver is another worthless piece of feces for me. I don't give a rat's butt if it plays games well if it breaks overclocking. Going back to my desktop driver mod... AGAIN.

Thank you, NVIDIA! Appreciate the lack of support... stinkin' losers.

 

did you mod the driver before installing or after with regedit ?

 

Meh... crap on 980M SLI in my Clevo, too. Doesn't throttle, but has TDR errors with overclocks that are 100% stable on the previous driver. So, the retards at NVIDIA are batting 1,000. Remove the clock block, just make the machine suck when overclocked... yeah, that's the ticket. But, on-the-fly SLI works great, LOL.

Yes, I always do it in the INF because it's faster and easier, and permanent. (Permanent, meaning I can install the driver as many times as I want to without having to use regedit to tweak every time.)

 

Do you mean to say that if I don't overlock my GPU the driver is fine but if one plans to overclock then it's crap?

 

I tested it long enough to see the throttling issue and I was immediately done at that point. It might be OK for gaming without an overclock, but I will never find out because I don't care. By "fine" all I meant was that it did not throttle using my 345.20 DT Cuda driver mod and it does with 350.12 and this new driver. I refuse to use any NVIDIA driver that games well if it does not overclock well.

I would be interested to know if it throttles for you when overclocked. I used 1007/1500/1.056V for the 780M SLI overclock, so it was a very modest overclock that one 330W AC adapter can handle. Please feel free to try it and let me know. Maybe it's just my machine or the vBIOS I am using. Although, I did point out the TDR errors with 980M SLI on my Clevo, so I am inclined to think it has been injected with some sort of cancer by the Jolly Green Giant.

It seems to me this string of "Game Ready" drivers NVIDIA is slopping out their digital door is just a hokey crock of feces. The latest is just one in a string of garbage drivers that don't work as well for me on 780M as the older drivers do. Case in point was Wolfenstein: The New Blood. I ran it with 345.20 DT mod and it was great, but at every launch of the game I was badgered to install 350.12 and warned the driver I was using would not work well. It was just a pack of lies to try to get me to install the new cancer driver.

 

This reminds me, a friend of mine who has the exact same system as mine told me something recently that I found odd, he was like, he notices some lag in his system, for example if he would launch task manager, there would be a slight lag until he sees it. He learned to live with it......

he was using the latest nVIDIA Drivers at the time 350.xx

Then he tried installing the Alienware nVIDIA Driver 332.70 and when he did, he noticed his system is much snappier (talking about 2D Operations he doesn't play any games) and the lag when launching task manager disappeared.

Now I wouldn't go back to such an old driver as many of the new games may or may not work well with them or might have bad performance but that is an interesting finding I must say. What do you say about this?

PS: When I owned the ASUS pile of garbage gaming laptops before, this was so true, like even a simple game of Solitaire would be very choppy/jerky in motion when dealing the cards for example but when using the older ASUS drivers it was smooth as butter. In 3D the newer ones win no question but there is something about the nVIDIA garbage drivers in 2D that's messed up it seems

 

With 350.12 on 980M I have noticed something like what you described. Even when running games and benchmarks at stock clock speeds there are like intermittent pauses. Some might call it stuttering, but would describe it to be more like a "micro-freeze" that does not happen consistently or rapidly. It is more of a random jerky movement. It make not happen for some time, then it will randomly do it, then resume normal operation. Other times it will do it a lot, and if I quit the game or benchmark it may go away. It makes no difference if SLI is enabled or not, and I do not ever have this behavior with 345.20 drivers, or older drivers like 344.75. I haven't tested anything newer than 345.20 at stock clocks with 780M for reasons already mentioned about throttling. The moment I see throttling when overclocked, I am immediately done with any attempt to try to use that driver. That's why I haven't release another driver mod... not going to waste my time on tweaking a garbage driver for myself or others.

 

352.86 always gives me installation failed (8.1 DSE disabled, inf from 350.12)
have to gone back to 350.12 and waiting for working inf with cookies and tea

 

This driver fixes SLI in Watch Dogs and Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. No more annoying workarounds or patch downgrading necessary. Better late than never, I guess.

 

Hi , i need some advice. Im not sure if this is the right place to post

I just bought a clevo P375sm with 2x 780m SLI, I7 4900 , 16 GB RAM and a 330w PSU.

Both 780m have the techinferno vbios.

What kind of OC i can expect with this build? Will the PSU power be a problem?

I would like to ask whats the best driver (i mean fast and stable) to use and whats the best overclock software to use (MSI Afterburner, Nvidia Inspector, EVGA Precision)

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

That's a nice system.

You will need a dual 330W PSU setup to do any kind of serious GPU overclocking, otherwise the system will either shut down due to lack of power, trip the internal breaker on the 330W AC adapter, or both. With one 330W you should be able to handle around 1007 to 1025 on core, 1500 on memory, with about 1.025V to 1.050V for voltage. I don't have that particular model, but thermal limitations may also be something you will need to contend with. Using an amazing thermal paste like Liquid Ultra and forcing your fans to max speed will help to mitigate those limitations.

The overclocking software is mostly user preference, but MSI Afterburner lacks voltage control. If you use that you will also need to use a second utility to adjust GPU voltage. EVGA Precision X and NVIDIA Inspector offer full-featured overclocking control, including voltage, so go with one of those for the sake of convenience. My preference is Precision X, but you can do some command line interface tweaking with NVIDIA Inspector that Afterburner and Precision X cannot do (to the best of my knowledge). They may have some undocumented functionality that I don't know about.

 

@Mr. Fox

should i use your moded desktop drivers? is there a tutorial to install them ?

*sorry for the noob question, im new to SLI and NVIDIA

 

These work really well for me and many others. I do not own or play GTA V or Witcher 3, but you can update profiles through GeForce Experience and try it.

Use this driver and follow instructions in post #1. http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...d-for-alienware-and-clevo-mobile-gpus.772018/
