Because holiday shopping is… wrapping up… this year’s rush of AAA games will be slowing down soon, at least until it starts up again in January. One of the last releases, Watch_Dogs 2, will be arriving on the PC tomorrow. As such, NVIDIA has released GeForce 376.09 drivers out to their website and GeForce Experience. The driver also includes optimizations for Dead Rising 4 and Steep.
Unfortunately, the release notes aren’t yet available as of time of this writing (but the link is). As such, we don’t know specifics about what the driver fixes or changes. The notes are supposed to be up at some time today. Users in the forums have been complaining about a few things here and there, but nothing that seems credible and wide-spread that could be attributed to the driver.

Did you get to page 3. Thats were the complains from multiple peole start rolling in for same issues. Manuel G notes some SLI issues arent resoleved and the folding@home still isnt address. Multiple post are getting the same windows UI issues and rolling back.
I do like how you discounted all those complaints to non-driver issues already. Surely your talents are under utilized writing news articles for a techsite.

How carefully worded to host respectful discussion. :p
Yes, Folding@Home is an existing bug that has been around for a while. NVIDIA is still investigating it, and have been for a while. It is not an issue with this, specific driver release. It is a driver issue, but not an issue that should concern someone with this driver, if they already use one of the last few.
SLI issues with No Man's Sky does seem to have been introduced with this release, but that's probably not something people should be concerned about before upgrading.
The Windows UI issues are apparently resolved with a reboot, so I didn't bother mentioning it. I mean, you really should reboot once or twice when installing a graphics driver anyway.
It's not like GPUs are having the VRAM clockrate stuck at 810 MHz, or they're bluescreening all over.
Thankfully, they finally
Thankfully, they finally fixed the dvacore.dll error with… Adobe Premiere Elements. (yes, old software gets borked by new drivers of GPU…for about three or four driver revisions now…)
