Windows 10: Nvdia GTX 980 video very choppy

Windows 10 installed a native driver for the Nvidia 980 card that I have. The display is choppy and every time you open a window it paints the screen very slowly. I attempted to install the latest version of Nvidia (Win 8.1) but got a Blue Screen during the installation with a error message WHEA_UNCORRECTIBLE_ERROR.

So I'm curious if anyone else has been able to get a Nvidia driver installed. If so, what version is it and where did you find it...e.g. Windows Update or another site.

Thanks

:)

I just completed a clean install of Windows 10. I have the latest Nvdia drivers on my GTX 980 so I monitor the situation and if it starts again, I'll get back with you.

 

Clean install of Windows 10 and dual GTX 980 problem

Hi,

Big Problem

Upgraded from GA-Z97X SOC to GA-Z97X Gaming G1 BK to enjoy more PCI lane with PLX chip.

It has been a nightmare.

Keep getting graphic card error with my 2 GTX 980 in SLI. Error 43, BSOD, ....

Tried everything. New NVDIA drivers, Older NVDIA drivers, DDU, even a clean install of Windows 10. Nothing works! Andeven after the clean install, machine is super unstable, its not usable because keeps freezing, crashing or going
BSOD: always related to graphic cards

More info for you guys,

Followed the basic steps for clean install.

1-Installed on SSD array using usb windows 10 install

2-installed latest mobo drivers for windows 10 x64 (pulled from gigabyte website)

3-Installed latest drivers fron NVDIA web site

after that all its hell....

Tried to troubleshoot,

1- like mentionned above, change NVDIA drivers using DDU in safe mode: fails, (redid this with dofferent version of drivers with same results

2- Tried new clean install with disabling automatic driver update in windows prior to installing GTX 980 and using NVDIA drivers: same tesults. So retried step 2 with all version of NVDIA drivers: fails

Everything was fine before mobo upgrade.

Beside the new mobo, kept everythingelsethe same (same hardware see list at bottom of post). Same CPU, same Dual GTX 980, Same SSD, HD, ...

Only difference,my old rig was a Windows 10 upgrade. Initially was windows 7 that was upgraded through win upgrade abour a year ago.

Going insane with this. Please help!

If you are running an X99 motherboard, you are pretty much out of luck with the 9879 build. It has been Blue Screening those configurations.

They may have even set the OS to not install the Nvidia drivers for now.

 

Hmmm, that is the motherboard I'm running. I'll hope the build later this month has the ability to get the drivers in the version. This one is not good.

That explains the Blue Screen, so why is the hardware the issue here?

 

There were some comments about a problem with the L3 Cache, but I don't have any more information.

I have been basically out of the program since 9879 was released ... Since the chipset is fairly new, it was probably not released at the time the preview builds were done.

So, I suppose the choices are to wait for the next build, stay with an earlier build, or suffer through 9879 using the alternate drivers.

We will see what happens with the next build when it is actually released.

 

Well you have laid out the choices, a little disappointing since I just loaded the build today on an extra SSD on my new computer. I saw a lot of traffic on the topic on the Windows 10 Community Forum too.

I'll hope the Consumer Preview has some improvement...thanks Saltgrass!

I'll mark this Thread as Solved even though the issue still prevails. But now I know what to expect.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I have had similar problems. I have a 980 on a Z77 Chipset. The latest Nvidia driver hosed my complete installation. I had to restore from the installation USB. 9879 is very buggy for me.

 

The new build 9926 fixed the problem for me. It loaded the latest nvidia driver in the install. Much better.

 

That's great news. I'm downloading it as we speak. Thanks for the info.
