Are nvidia drivers becoming the new AMD?
I've had a 580 for a few years, and at some point the drivers started constantly crashing, usually when just doing desktop shit under no stress. Screen would go black, fans would speed up, and then back to normal. If I was playing a game it could start showing spooky green flickering on the screen, and if I didn't alt-tab out fast enough, it would take the entire system down with it. Underclocking and/or overvolting the card fixed crashing in games, but it still happened in the desktop environment just as frequently.
A while ago while having dark souls 3 problems, I reverted back to some driver version from 2013, and the problems stopped. Just like that. What the fuck, nvidia. Do they purposely cuck older cards in driver updates so I'll buy a new one? Anyone else have this exact issue?

well if you had enough money for the 580 then wait on the 490 because nvidia will never fix these issues unless people stop buying from them

Aren't the new amd's supposed to be full memecards?

no and the only people that think that or say that are full on shitposters or shills

I have a 570 and have never had any problems, do you have any software controlling your gpu?
>>

I just have the regular drivers installed, nothing else.

The 580's cost like half of what the 980/1080's do now. Why the increase in price?

Wierd, try using afterburner or something and see if it helps. Have you cleaned your gpu recently? It could be temps.

It's not temps since the crashes happen more frequently outside of gaming, usually while not any load whatsoever. I have tried underclocking the card and it doesn't help with the crashes but it fixes the stability problems in intensive games.
