Latest NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers for Windows 10 [2]

my suggestion is better you roll back the driver then you filled up MS question for the reasons : like ask MS solve the problems just joke man

I'm a habitual DDU user, so roll back is not an option. I save the last few and always easy to DL if needed. Don't think I'll ask MS to solve this one, I need to use my system this year.

Thought it was just me. Immediately after installing this (DDU first), my 1080Ti went to 64°C and fan speed of 35% and stuck there. Nothing adverse running in it or CPU. DDU'd it out and re did. Stuck on 60°C and fan speed of 38%. One more time.... back to 64°C and fan speed of 35%.

These temps were verified with three (3) different monitors. Alienware (Dell) native power/temp control app, GPU-Z, and Windows Task Manager>Performance tab>GPU display temp. All matched.

DDU'd a third time and back on 452.06.

I used the second release of DDU yesterday after going back to 460.15 and re installed 456.38 and everything was OK. I will keep an eye on it today.

I just noticed something. 460.15? Is that an Insider MS WHQL?

No that is a Dev Build.

I said I no longer have an issue.

Thanks for making this "general information" post, Peitcorus.

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm with you ... sometimes waiting to install an update is the smartest thing we can do.

I definitely know more now than I did when I first started reading this thread. And, I always wait for NVIDIA to inform me an update is available, and I don't do display driver betas. I'd say I'm the "cowardly lion" about this.

I tried again with the latest DDU, still soared to 64°C and 38% fan.

But.................... something is not what it appears to be, or is more. I have a top air discharge on the top of my tower in addition to the rear and sides, so I can also feel the heat. Not increased air flow, cause these are not case fans. Here's the odd part, and maybe somebody has a plausible answer.

3 seperate apps saying the same thing..... Windows native in Performance, GPU-Z, and the native Alienware power app. They are all reading the sensors the same way. How can a GPU be running at 61°C with virtually nothing running on the GPU? My normal GPU temp is 28-32°C

This is a pic < 2mins after reboot.
