Update, November 17th @ 7:21pm: NVIDIA has released 375.95 Hotfix to fix this issue. They are working on getting it WHQL certified for their website and GeForce Experience. You can download and install it directly, though.
Update, November 16th @ 12:56pm: NVIDIA has reproduced the low memory clocks issue, found its cause, and are working on a fix. They believe it only affects certain factory-overclocked cards. It is obviously a high priority, so a hotfix driver will likely be issued (unless they can get it WHQL certified quick enough that it would be pointless).
Original post below:
NVIDIA has just released a new graphics driver. GeForce Game Ready 375.86 provides optimized support for Ubisoft's Steep, which is an open-world game with wingsuiters, skiers, snowboarders, and paragliders. It also rolls in extra optimizations for previous game ready games that are receiving patches: Battlefield 1, Civilization VI, and Tom Clancy's The Division.
Before you install, though, there is one particularly annoying issue that is being reported on GeForce forums. NVIDIA is currently investigating reports that certain, but not all, Pascal GPUs are having their video memory stuck at 810 MHz, leading to (as you would expect) severe performance loss. It's possible that the affected users are all running a specific overclocking application or something. If you are in a bit of a rush and don't want to put up with potentially rolling back, then you might want to skip the version.
Thankfully, both discrete graphics vendors have been releasing multiple versions per month. The wait shouldn't be too long.

Does this driver resolve the bug where folding@home cannot complete most GPU work units? I can’t test this myself now unfortunately..
Nope. NVIDIA is still working

Damn it :/

Great so another fine driver
Great so another fine driver from Nvidia. Seems like they cant release a new one without breaking a few things.
It seems every Numidia driver
It seems every Numidia driver update has issues these days. AMD gets smashed for their so-called flaky drivers but NVidia is doing it consistently. I haven’t updated for about 2 months and now the newest drivers also have telemetry in them.
So these drivers are EVEN
So these drivers are EVEN BETTER than “Game Ready”?!
I don’t believe it.

This doesn’t help with the artifacting present in MSI 1070 cards does it?
I’m considering to RMA mine and trade it for a 1080

Games, drivers, hardware… Everything is just rushed to the market and sucks… If you want to play anything, wait at least 6 months after the official “release” and pray to have something more or less working…
Move along fanboys nothing
Move along fanboys nothing else to see here. It’s already fixed with hotfix version 375.95. Download it now. What quick service by Nvidia.
Dude I really hope you are
Dude I really hope you are being paid because you are always up Nvidia’s butthole. And before you call me a fanboi of some type, I own an Nvidia gpu. I just don’t pick sides. And because of all the problems with the last few drivers, I haven’t updated my drivers in a few months.
You did pick a side. You
You did pick a side. You picked being an ahole. Why should it bother you one way or the other. If you’ve supposedly been reading enough to say I’m up their butthole, I have posted multiple times before that I’m not getting paid by any one. Just because you own an Nvidia gpu it doesn’t mean a thing. I’m sorry you have problems. Some people do but I can say I haven’t had any problems with any of their drivers lately and seldom in the past. Of course my video card is a “gimped” by Nvidia 760 and I have Win 8.1.
Quick updates and fixes I’m
Quick updates and fixes I’m all up for that *thumbs up*
