NVidia drivers that work?
Somebody pointed out to me that the newer NVidia drivers had a known problem with ARK. Has that been fixed? The newest drivers do not mention anything about ARK as a known problem. I have been using them now for about a week and half give or take a couple days and everything has been perfectly fine. Maybe it's fixed?

I'm using 419.35 Which identifies as 25.21.14.1935 for those looking at the revision and not knowing exactly what the numbers mean.

All I can say is give them a shot if you haven't already. Always do a clean install.

I've been using them on 2 systems, 1 with a 980Ti and another with a 970. Not a single crash or hang with them. Running dx11, no launch options, mostly epic on the 980Ti and mostly high on the 970.

good luck.

25.21.14.1722 is the version i'm using without issues.

I only update through device manager though, so i'm always behind until MS gets the signed drivers for me.

I'm reluctant to update as if its not broke.....

Yes, I have the same philosophy. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I was using the Far Cry 5 drivers from March of 2018 until now, they were 23.xx But with the 1609 Window update I was getting a bit of artifacting watching videos with those old drivers. So I finally bit the bullet and upgraded again.


Just giving this as a heads up for those that are having issues with their drivers to give them a shot.
