    And, from the very beginning, its 660m was working under overclock, 1085mhz on core and 2750 on memory. Its been 2,5 years and i’ve never had driver failure until now.

    Problem is, that my nvidia driver fails when i'm playing creed unity. With generic driver error:

    Code:
    [LIST]
    [*][COLOR=#660066]Display[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] driver nvlddmkm stopped responding [/COLOR][COLOR=#000088]and[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] has successfully recovered[/COLOR]
    [/LIST]
    
    Anyone with similar issue? Any help? Why only this game fails me?

    It's Assassins Creed Unity. All the reviews for it state that it's one of the buggiest Triple-A titles out there. The number of driver and performance issues for that game that have been reported are far and wide.
    You're better off waiting for a patch than troubleshooting imo. Keep in mind, the minimum to play the game is a GTX 680, and that's the desktop version.
