Problems with NVIDIA on Win 10.

After the British were added, my graphics driver keeps crashing. I've had Windows 10 even before the British were added and there was no problem then. I've updated to the latest driver (a week after British release) and the problem's still persisting. Only really happens in CoH2 and very rarely in Heroes & Generals. Is anyone else having the same issue? My brother who has Windows 10 on his laptop has no problem though. His laptop's got an Nvidia GT 720m. Is it time for me to upgrade? Been using this machine for 3-4 years now.

Nvidia Geforce GTS450(Old but still good eh? :D)

Old but probably still not good would be the more correct answer. I am using win10 with a GTX780 and have zero issues regarding drivers crashing.

The game though makes up for it as its giving me quite a few bugsplats :).

Using the driver 355.60 on windows 10 64 bit and there is no problem.

Have you checked the temperature of your gpu while playing coh2?

Hmm, could be the thing dying of old age I guess.

Haven't checked it. Gonna try it out on my next session.

Revert back to a more stable previous WHQL version. 350.12 is the last stable nvidia driver for my gtx 970, the ones after that give me chrome bugs and game freezes

I can't think of a more stable one since the stable one kept crashing as well after British update.



Here are my temps



Is 72 degrees too hot or is it okay?

The temp is fine, your GPU can handle up to 100C
But you should change the card, I don`t think they even sell it anymore.

72°C seems ok, but it was after exiting coh2 right ?

Try furmark: http://www.geeks3d.com/20150410/furmark-1-15-2-gpu-vga-stress-test-opengl-benchmark/

If it crashes then I would recommend cleaning the gpu's fan (if not already clean) and changing the thermal paste.

Your CPU on the other hand is really too hot !

What do you suggest I should upgrade to? :)

Yup, it was right after exiting the game. I cleaned it a few days ago. Didn't do anything with the thermal paste though. It's quite hard to find it in my area. Crappy situation I'm in. :P



Gonna brag a bit here with my core specs of my whole machine especially my i7 which I got for only 170USD :D


Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz
8.00 GB RAM
Windows 10 64-bit Operating System (Windows 7 Home Premium when I got it)
NVIDIA Geforce GTS 450

Amd R9 280X or NVidia GTX 960, seems fine.

My GTX 970 runs at 65-70 degrees as well. Haven't had problems with it for over half a year now. I don't think Is a problem, if you get graphic anomalies, than it is time to fix your cooling, if not, just continue on!

If it was me I would go with NVidia. Got 780ti myself and thinking of changing it.
900 series is great but I heard there were some minor technicall lies NVidia marketed about them.

But if you don`t really give a crap about such things 960 is the way to go.
My friend bought one and he is having a blast (but he is playing other more graphics demanding games)

But if you will change the GPU you should change your CPU as well otherwise it might cause a bottleneck and hinder the GPU performance.

A 4th gen CPU should be enough for the next 6 years :P

Well, your cpu is way too hot, maybe it is the CPU problem rather than GPU? Try playing with your case open and check if it still bugs out.

Speaking of CPU Heat (ComputerHeat?) :snfCHVGame:, one of my fans (exhaust fan, don't really know what to call it) is not spinning. Been meaning to get a new one as well so it might explain the Heat. :snfCHVGame:
