Hello everybody who entered my topic,
I was lucky to not having big issues with my EVGA 780 just after I've moved to W10... for several weeks. Now I am experienced paranoid who disabled everything new in the OS and still looking for that magic driver I was happy with. Because the game is falling and falling and falling...

Could somebody , please, share your positive experience - what driver do you use now? Or would you insist on W7 blue pill?

thank you

Not a Windows/Keplar issue me thinks.. More local One of my friends is using a pair of 770s on Windows 10 with the latest Nvidia drivers and has no issues.
Why is the game failing what errors are you getting.

[color="#000000"]Unfortunately, everything is pointing to driver; I do not encounter BSOD or any kind of freezes except D3D driver messages and recovers - the application isn't shown in those messages. After I got rid of auto update, I've tried several from c:\Nvidia folder (suspect they were used) and other , mostly WHQL from different dates. 2 of them have visual artifacts in Valley benchmark and in-game, I was shocked, frankly speaking. Now I've stopped on 353.54 and became paranoid thoughts to roll back to Seven.[/color]
[color=#000000]What changed are you asking? OBS - OpenBroadcaster for local recording on CPU (x264, not QS). [/color]

If i interpret right your getting Nvidia driver crashes, that then recover this usualy is as a result of overclocked cards and can be checked by underclocking to see if the issue persists.

I can assure you, the current Nvidia drivers work just fine on Windows 10 with the 700 series.

I still have the automatic driver update on

but installed latest through Geforce experience, for the last 8 times or so (have windows 10 since January last year)
no problems

however
have you thought of reverting to an older driver build? (well any older, like 2 months older or such) just to try out?

did you download again, or used old ones you found on your drive?

might also be worth to run the disk cleanup (just type it in the search)

and check the box that says clean up system files

should get rid of older drivers that might be conflicting

also just de-install the card in device manager
and try updating directly through Geforce experience (favored by NVidia these days)

Thank you boys for replies,
- "[color=#959595]I can assure you, the current Nvidia drivers work just fine on Windows 10 with the 700 series[/color]"
and - "[color=#959595]I still have the automatic driver update on[/color]" force me to think of my fault instead of drivers.
In short words - I do clear install every time, remove files when uninstalling in Device Manager and , yes, I've tried WHQL drivers issued from May to Dec 2015 with different artifacts. Just need calm revision on steps done.

Thank you

Is the card overclocked. Factory or Manual
If so please downclock the card and see if the results are the same.

Is the Win 10 install an upgrade or a fresh install?

Frankly speaking I forgot about CPU boost I tried once and re-applied just some weeks ago. That was shifted FSB 100->103. Now I'm checking if it was the main reason or not but things came to expected state, not a crazy things like dropped textures or falling driver with perfect thermal readings on any sensor.
thank you again, I hope that is final bow, all system' nominal (c)

I would recommend uninstalling your NVIDIA drivers and then running DDU in safe mode to remove any remains. Also if you are referring to the BCLK, then increasing this beyond 100MHz could cause issues with any PCIE devices. I would stick to multiplier only with OC. Also if you did upgrade from Windows 7/8 I would still perform a clean install on Win 10, there is just much less potential for issues.
