WARNING Do not upgrade to 375/376.xx drivers (for xx<48)

[nintendoeats]

I just installed the new drivers and now they crash every time F@H tries to start running. I have a 1060. Is anybody else having this problem?

[nintendoeats]

I reinstalled the old drivers and it works fine now.

What OS ? What driver source ? sometimes components relevant for folding are missing in some driver packages (e.g. OpenCL). A bit more information about your environment would be helpful.

Ideally you would get the driver from nVidia site (thats valid for Linux and Windows)

Windows 7 64-bit, Drivers installed through GeForce Experience. I am mainly curious if it is just me, I don't expect that there is anything that can be done about the problem until Nvidia fixes it.

[pithos]

Multiple people myself included have this problem. Typical NVIDIA putting out blatantly misleading patch notes. A game ready driver should not have any impact on gpu computing.

Ok, glad to know that.

I don't need game-ready drivers ... I need FAH-ready drivers.

I'm running 373.06 on my {GT740 + GTX960} on my Windows machine.

It seems that 375.57 drivers are breaking FAH. I have two confirmed reports (one of my machine and one from a friend) on Windows 10 64 bits that after installing those drivers, the core will fail to start with the following error in a loop :

I strongly recommand to stick with previous drivers (372.70 for instance) until we figure out what is going on ...

I have the same problem with 980 sli

[Breach]

Had the same problem when I updated. But since a restart it seems to be working fine? Except that it doesn't go into boost mode.

[Edit: Yep, same here

I am using the latest 375.57 driver. It took about 20 attempts / downloads until a work unit would run without crashing. Currently on 10490.

System specs:
Win10 Pro 64
i7 5820K
32GB RAM
ASUS Rampage V Extreme
GTX Titan X
Folding Version: 7.4.15

I had the same issue last night and had to downgrade for F@H

[bollix47]

This driver has been replaced by nvidia with 375.63 at http://www.nvidia.com/drivers .

If you do not have a specific reason to upgrade and your folding is working I recommend not upgrading at this time, at least until there's some assurance that nv has released a valid update. If you already did and folding is not working please reinstall the older drivers that worked.
