301 driver issues?

**Whir** · June 18th, 2012, 05:20 PM

I seem to be getting a lot of "the graphics driver has stopped responding and has reset" errors since upgrading to 301 with my 560. Anyone else? Usually not when playing games either.

Nothing bad so far on 301.46, but that is only a 215chip/220 card.
Is your fan running smoothly, and dust-free?

Wasn't having the problem while out of game, but encountered quite a few problems in game, especially on BF3. Others seem to be encountering the same issue, including general poor performance. Rolled back to 296's and haven't had an issue.

My GTX460 EVGA superoverlcocked seems to run just fine on the 301.46 and i been playing skyrim on ultra settings with no glitches a steady 70-77 fps on frapps..i have turned AA and AF off in skyrim though.

wish I could comment, but I'm still running the prior version drivers on my card. 296.10's I believe.

Hm. I was hoping to avoid rolling back as 301 has some decent performance gains in both Skyrim and Civ 5. Alas.

From what i read the 301 drivers where built for or around skyrim, because people where having lag issues with some of the other drivers in skyrim and from what i have read most got a substantial boost in performance in Skyrim using the 301.
