Best driver for GTX 750 TI

[󠀡󠀡]

Hello, i ahave upgraded my Windows 8.1 to 10 a week ago and i made a clean install formating everything, unfortuantely i didnt thought of saving at least the driver name of my video card, now the same games i used to play before are stuttering and having horrible framedrops ( The division has 50-60 fps only if i dont move the character or camera, if i do.. then i get 1 frame per 5 seconds)

I know not every driver update is meant for all video cards but i downloaded the graphic driver Nvidia suggested me ( 378.66 ) , does anyone know what is the best driver for my graphic card?

Sorry for my english.

I forgot to post here a while back after trying the 368.81 drivers. I didn't notice any real gains in performance compared to the new drivers. There did seem to be some issues with this driver since the windows 10 creators update so this might be better for PC's running older versions of windows 10 or older operating systems.

That Driver is way newer the Creators Update, the fact is, many did not get a prompt to install Creators Update until maybe within the last 30 days. Many of us have had it for Months already. Yes this is how WU is done now. Windows Insiders and Professional edition owners get that choice first. This also can depend on your Region. Just like when Win10 first released, Cortana was only available and working in a few select countries at first.

Nvidia updates their drivers all the time.. just keep you PC up to date.

You should be running the latest drivers.

Especially when the hardware is still so new. For example, more performance is still being gained by GTX GPUs going back as far as GTX 5xx series with Driver updates still... that usually won't stop until at least 2-3+ Gens later on down the road. If a device has a driver update and continues doing them, there is often a very good reason for it.

I'm still running a GTX 750ti that's the only reason I wanted to test the 368.81 drivers from July of 2016. I was looking for a driver that would have been the best for my particular card. I've just been sticking to the newest ones since it is still supported by them.

NVIDIA has been doing hotfixes quickly within just the last few weeks.

Might want to try one of these versions:

385.12 BETA ~ Release Date: 2017.7.31
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/121776

384.94 WHQL ~ Release Date: 2017.7.24
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/120905

Should definitely be better suited for Win10 Creators Update (1703)


Now that I re-look over this entire Thread, my very 1st suggestion, might have just been a case of bad timing. That Driver was however fine for Win10 1607, but not 1703 (Creators Update)

Creators Update was released on May 12th 2017; but however, due to delays in when the update trickles down to YOU or your actual machine, you could have gotten that anytime between May and "as we speak"

So for Creators Updates specifically; any NVIDIA GPU Driver prior to:

GeForce 385.12 Driver BETA 385.12 July 31, 2017
GeForce Game Ready Driver WHQL 384.94 July 24, 2017
GeForce Game Ready Driver WHQL 384.76 June 29, 2017
GeForce Game Ready Driver WHQL 382.53 June 9, 2017
GeForce Game Ready Driver WHQL 382.33 May 22, 2017

Should be avoided; at least where Win10 OS is concerned.

The most recent ones obviously. There is no such thing as a best for drivers for you should always get the most recent.

Debateable, even if I would use the latest drivers myself. Most compatible with latest games doesn't always mean the best. I recall a time when I brought an Nvidia card, and how the drivers that came out to support that specific card were the fastest compared to any that followed. I kept those drivers running for a year before I was forced to update them to support some new game. My card ended up gimped by a good few fps in my other games. Eventually, I upgraded my card, whilst feeling an evil green presence nearby grinning insanely.

With something like Win10, I never look to what a Driver fixes for Games, as that is often times BS anyways. Game specific "ready" drivers I often found to be not even as good as some previous ones. Which was the case from what I was testing games like Mafia3 and some other games upon release time... using the latest driver should have helped. In many hardware config scenarios and/or games; the so called "game ready driver for your new game release" often was worse in many of these tests.

Due to Win10 updating... when it does a major update like say Creators Update, this like a major Service Pack. It eventually makes that version of the OS, an entirely new OS all-together. For example, Win7 vs Win7 SP1

As an OS build updates to certain points, older drivers becomes incompatible.
