What driver are you getting E: D to run stably with? I get constant freezes due to the kernel driver from the previous and newest game ready drivers. I'm going to try the oldest driver I can.

Im using 350.12. Runs fine with no freezes for me.

I'm always using whatever is the current driver and have never had any problems with mine. I always stay up to date.

Using the latest certified driver and getting same stutters as I was on 770gtx. Believe frontier are aware of issue.

Running the driver before the latest (i dont know the numbers off hand.. i.e. I havn't installed the one that just came out). Zero issues.

Same here. Occasional crashes but besides that, game runs pretty smoothly

Just tried 344.11 - game ran fine for 5 minutes then screen goes black. I can still hear the game running but no video signal. I have a 550w PSU so plenty of power.

Just cant run the game tonight - I had major issues yesterday running it. Been trying for two hours to just get it to run

Did you just upgrade, say from ATI? I know in the past there was driver crash issues if you swapped from ATI to Nvidia and visa versa if you didn't fully uninstall the old driver. As I remember there was 3rd party tools created for this task.

350.12 here and all is fine even with SLI

certhas · May 15, 2015

344.75, all running fine, never bothered updating so far... (never change a running system

)

Infinitson · May 15, 2015

Its weird, sometimes I get a lot of stuttering, or a few and anothers not. Using 350.12.

Greyhawk · May 15, 2015

Checked Amazon - cant RMA card either. Guess I wasted £250

<nods> 344.11 here!

tucker · May 15, 2015

350.12 No problem here, with rift DK2 and mirrored to the monitor.

CaptValks · May 15, 2015

I'm running a pair in SLI, always with the current driver. Never had a problem.

Slopey · May 15, 2015

347.88 for me - was the only driver I didn't get stuttering or strange fan noise/temps on. Now not updating until I have a very good reason to!

Aleksej · May 15, 2015

Have you removed everything that was related to your previous AMD GPU? Do you perform clean install each time you install NVidia drivers?

Jediben · May 15, 2015

970 sli here. Latest driver, no issue.

kurush · May 15, 2015

I'm on 344.60 and no issues.

Maxwell chips do not like it hot with ED, from what I can see with my 960 - below 70 degrees Celsius, even though officially they are rated for higher temps.

I had driver crashes until I limited the top temperature to 69, via MSI Afterburner, after that - no more crashes, just means the fan spins up a bit more.
