This isnt looking good, so far we have MW3 and TSW that have "Driver stopped responding errors" with this new driver and also was there in 337.81.

lol, dont think so, i have the same setup, and pagefile disabled, and afterburner still says that im using 5 gigs of pagefile and 4 gigs of ram, soooo what ?] at least on that black version of the game, god i hope tomorrow the guy from delivery will be here in time...:chainsaw:

Its part of virtual memory aka swapping memory size not pagefile, its just how MSI afterburner names it. http://i.imgur.com/8s2XTRa.png *dont mind this odd number, I have dedicated 1gb to onboard gpu. You can also ask unwinder, I saw him explaining this once in one older MSI thread 🙂

Adding to this, A few people are now reporting BF4 is causing "Driver stopped responding errors" as well, This is bringing back horrible memories 🙁

Actually 74FPS is quite good if everything is maxed out.The stuttering when you drive is the problem and i hope nUbisoft will release a patch to fix it or at least, decrease it. ***Edit: Just saw Hibert's review, 74FPS with everything on High plus FXAA.Un-optimized as hell..

Eh, bah, this game should have been releases after some months away, when maxwell chips were in stock...one reason ? the massive vram usage, i bet Witcher 3 will have the same 4gb vram requirements. Also that and there, fps number is nothing, fps varies depends of the angle the game renders, weather effects, day, night, lots of cars/people in the scene, viewed from different angles, police cars chasing you in day/night, and allot of other things. If some dude says i got x fps in the game with that y hardware, that x is where ? that x could be alot bigger and alot smaller for you when you actually play the game for his story.

perhaps WD just changed this, and changed how the majority look at vram, though daylight was there first.

8gb is not enough for alot of things now. I have 16gb of ram with Page filing turn off and With all the Google Chrome windows i have open all the time and watching say Netflix or Hulu I am always using around 6 to 7gb of ram. WD uses half if not more then half of 16gb of ram. Also 16gb of ram is cheap now. So you might as well look at upgrading if you only have 8gb of ram.

yep that what i say. there is a limit of how nvidia can improve performance over a crappy engine.

30fps is playable, more than playable.

haha I was expecting someone to say that, to each is their own, I prefer 60+fps, its hard enough as it is being on a 120Hz monitor and trying to play an unoptimized game but if they "recommend" settings that will turn the game into a slideshow, no thanks 🙂

Maybe a typo, it says "Download the Nvidia GeForce 337.88 WHQL driver as released by NVIDIA." on the GUru3D page.

Why is that? GTA4 is how old now, since 2008? and it needs 8gb to run ok @ max settings. Im pretty sure a 2014 game with similar principal - large city, lots of AI, etc will raise the bar to 8gb+ for sure.

I agree. 8gb or more is suggested for optimal performance for the games. you have to add the game memory requirements on top of the system ram usage. with 4gb memory. that system will have to swap memory cache back and forth. my system when using chrome browser runs around 4gb in windows 8.1 windows 7 it sometimes hits 5gb. same software running.

Issue: MW3 makes the driver stop responding ! my 5 displays are blinking ruffly, endlessly ! it was the same thing with 337.81... 337.61 was ok Is it because i am under 8.1 surround managed by 2 GPU's AND having two displays on the side ?? Looks obvious now that my special display config is causing this, but only with MW3 (didn't tried MW2) meh.... I am perfectly aware almost no one will be able to help explaining (Manuel G ?) but well grrrrrrrrrrrr ^^ im not a complaining person at all but this is annoying to me

This isnt looking good, so far we have MW3 and TSW that have "Driver stopped responding errors" with this new driver and also was there in 337.81.

Will this be ignored ?

I hope not this is a SERIOUS problem, The most serious problem since the TDR errors of the 560 Ti back in the day, 3yrs. ago i think it was. Ohh another game Ill add to the list is The Elder Scrolls Online.

working good so far.. I just have to live with the fact that not every game will play great at 4k resolution. wolfenstein plays at around 40fps watch dogs play at 20-30fps outlast 60fps
