If you've been following the Pascal saga you will know that the cards launched with a number of flaws. One of the flaws that has been found is an increase of DPC latency caused by Nvidia drivers at the kernel level.
At first I assumed that it only affected 10** series cards, but curiosity got the best of me and I also tested my brother's PC with an OG Titan (7*** series) The results are not good. High latency in both idle and gaming situations. This is on a fresh W7 64 install, I have tested the last two Nvidia drivers and they both produce the same latency results, using DDU to make sure everything is clean between driver installs.
I want to know if this is an inherent problem with all nvidia cards.
To check your own results is very easy and quick. Simply download LatencyMon and observe how high the numbers get in both idle and gaming, 5 minutes of both will tell you if you suffer from hidden latency. (Ignore the bottom numbers about pagefaults)

Please post your results, this is something that all users will want to know as DPC latency can give you ultimately a substandard experience without knowing it (think micro-stutter).
There is a hot-fix driver for 10** series cards as posted in another thread, this resolved most of my issues on my GTX 1080 but as far as I know only 10** series owners can use it. https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ivers/announcing-geforce-hotfix-driver-368-95
