Last week we reported that an isolated number of GTX 1060's - potentially limited to those manufactured by a subset of AIB partners - were experiencing difficulty installing the then-new GeForce GTX 397.31 Game Ready drivers. NVIDIA have now responded with a fixed hotfix driver, r397.55, directly addressing the issue.
The new drivers, which are available here for 64-bit versions of Windows 10, 7 and 8.1, also implement bugfixes for stuttering during Netflix playback and a bizarre problem where under Windows 10 leaving the system to idle could cause the driver to be uninstalled. Release notes are reproduced below:
