Also, these drivers are WDDM 2.1 instead of WDDM 2.0. Does anyone know what 2.1 brought to the table?
I updated one of my PCs to Windows 10 Anniversary and installed these drivers at the same time, dxdiag actually says it's WDDM 2.1 and DX12 for my GT 610. Previously it said WDDM 2.0 and DX11.3.
Fermi finally getting DX12?
I just installed these yesterday and I am experiencing some strange things happening. My screen is constantly flickering when I scroll in the browser, it also happens intermittently if I am not scrolling too. I uninstalled, used DDU in safe mode and reinstalled them but I experience the same thing this morning. I didn't have this issue previously so I am not ruling it on the monitor yet.

Yup same for me just as you describe. Always after each reboot and during any time that you open and folder, scroll in browsers, etc. Changing the frequency from 144hz to 120 and then back to 144 fixes it until next reboot.Just viewing this thread to see if anybody else was experiencing the same thing as US....The flickering.
We got the same monitor but it's not the issue.
It's the driver most likely. I only really experience it initially after booting up my rig. Desktop, chrome, exploring folders, etc. Lasts a minute or two. I blame it on boost. On mine it doesn't last long at all. Didn't have the issue with the hotfix drivers.
Sometimes windows update installs the driver for the GPU on its own. Many times this is fine or its a different version. You can always download driver uninstaller run a clean in safe mode and reinstall the GPU drivers from the manufacturer website.Soooo...I've been lazy (get that out of the way) and haven't done a full system clean install (just been too busy.)
Anyways, does downloading the "wrong" driver version from NV.com actually affect things? I've been having horrid performance in Borderlands 2 with PhysX even on Low (have read this is a legacy issue, exists across Win8/8.1/10) which I've accepted but the random game lock ups are infuriating when Borderlands 2 uses some archaic tracking system. I lose hours of progress because my game (only not the system) locks up.
Anyways, I originally downloaded the Windows 10 64bit Anniversary Edition driver, thinking my Windows up to date. Well it wasn't turns out I still had the older build (1511) and am now thinking that was the cause of my earlier headaches. So wondering if this would really adversely affect my GPU performance?
Welps, now on Win10 anni build 1607, reinstalled all drivers, and will see how everything goes later tonight.

I saw that too in their drop down. How do you know if you have the anniversary edition? Both my laptop and desktop have received the semi long updates. So I should have it, but I recently reverted to the previous drivers since these ones gave me really bad flickering and desktop artifacts.Windows didn't install the driver, I did. I picked the wrong one from the drop down menu thinking I had Anni edition (I didn't). I also have it disabled to let Windows touch my drivers.
I re-ran Timespy, my score was a little higher but now I'm getting even more errors. At this point it's probably just time to do a clean install.

Both Windows 10 drivers are the same I believe. Where you do have a difference is between the Windows 10 driver and the previous Windows versions (8.1 and below).

Normally I'd agree with you, but MSFT has already shown to break support from one build to another. I went without a soundcard because between Preview build something to Preview Build Something else because they changed the audio stack. There is a reason why MSFT let's you roll back builds.
