    I'm having issues with the audio service being stopped on occasion whenever starting up a game or after alt+tabbing out of one and trying to go back in after installing this driver. Anyone else?

    I guess the big trigger for the driver release is Overwatch. My question is, is anyone running Overwatch on older nvidia drivers? Does it work ok? I'm not into SLI or anything like that and I tend to have a 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' attitude to gpu driver updates (especially given the frequency of releases and the horror stories each new driver release brings to the nvidia forums) - so I'll only update gpu driver if there was a compelling need.

    i still use the ones that came with the PC when delivered back in October last year. I don't play a heap of games but nothing has tripped it up yet. So if I stick with my current ones (circa 355. something) will I still be able to run it. I presume most game ready / gpu optimisations are mostly geared to SLI configs and I'm not too fussed about sqeauking out an extra few fps for bragging rights, I also struggle to visually distinguish a difference in fluidity above 30 fps. I know my hardware is pretty strong with skylake and 980ti so just really at the mercy of the software!

    Hmm...seems these new drivers may have some Pascal stuff in them that can be enabled via NvidiaInspector. I wouldn't recommend it though. I turned on Ansel, FastSync and SILK smoothness all together and found myself in a BSOD loop.

    Regarding your audio issue, it seems there are a few reports of problems with hdmi audio on the nvidia forum so I guess it's a driver version to be avoided

    I'm sure you'll be able to play Overwatch fine with those drivers, you just likely won't have all the optimizations available to you that are in the Game Ready drivers. Speaking for myself, also on Skylake with a 980Ti, I've seen pretty massive (usually 10 to 20 FPS) jumps over the last couple of drivers in a lot of games. I get the reluctance to upgrade to new drivers, as they've been a bit wonky lately, but I'd at least give it a shot. You can always download a copy of your current drivers to go back to if you have issues with the new ones. That said, I'd probably go with the version before the newest, as they seemed to have the performance jump but without some of the issues of the newest driver. Of course, if you're happy with 30 FPS, then you'll almost certainly be fine with your current drivers.

    Hmm...that's odd. I was just using straight audio from the motherboard. Not sure why it would conflict with the Realtek drivers. A reinstall of the drivers seems to have fixed the issue for me though.

    @ blackrose, There is a newer version of Nvidia inspector released 2.1.2.4 from here
    https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjob...eInspector.zip

    I know the link looks a bit iffy but it's what the author has submitted. I've checked it and it's clean.

    Thanks for the update and info on new drivers. http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...es-updated.pdf

    And i held off on past updates because of so many issues, but driver before this i finally installed with no issues so far. They do come out very often lately.

    Look at this. An Nvidia GTX 1080 EXCLUSIVE driver 368.25. Sometimes happens with the launch of a new product.

    Don't think it works with a non 1080 and I wouldn't suggest trying it with non Pascal.
