    Installed on my machine with 980 sli and Sandy Bridge and had to reformat. Was planning to. No dice with a single Maxwell. It's one of my test / work rigs so I can't test any further.

    Sorry about the double post but I can't edit the first one. Running Maxwell with Haswell and later archs is fine. Same with Pascal. We don't run games, just "cuda" worloads. Hope that it helps.

    what do you mean 'had to reformat'? there was no fast way to uninstall/install previous?

    How much update to you guys test the DPC latency !??????????? I see this forum about ten years for now i don't find any item tell with you guys "have the friendly user back side".

    vidal6x6, that's a very interesting idea but it depends on many variants mostly dependant on software. I'm very, very far from my confort zone and more than welcome to sugestions.

    What?

    For some reason not in the release notes, this driver finally fixes HDR behavior. HDR now properly activates and de-activates again in games or video players.

    Thanks for the info! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

    I'd expect any driver that straddles the user/kernel divide would be vulnerable to Spectre and derived exploits. You probably don't care too much (beyond possible breakout routes) about drivers that do not handle sensitive data - who cares if someone can read the values of your RGB LED controller! - but GPU drivers that may be doing GPGPU are obvious targets, as are any kind of storage driver.

    They handle the screen so don't look at any banking/other account details.
    It might loose encrypted content playable rights if the keys can be read, blue ray, netflix, hdcp.
    Can you refer to main (non-gpu) memory in speculatative graphics code ? ie nothing safe.
