Hello,
I recently upgraded from a 960 MSI graphics card to a 1070 MSI, I used DDU to uninstall and restarted with the drivers from the Nvidia website ready. Afterwards I opened GeForce Experience to update to the most recent drivers just in case. When I opened some games (Watch Dogs 2, The Witcher, and Far Cry Primal) the graphics even at max were a bit odd as if the grass was at 120p quality. I went to the MSI website and installed their driver as well and still have issues, changed the monitor from 144hz (acer predator) to 120hz, 100hz,85hz, and 60hz to no avail.

Quantos and I tackled this for a bit but found no solution, if anyone can help, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
-
Match the game resolution to the resolution of the monitor.
-
the resolution of the game is set to the monitor already.
-
Can you get screenshots?
-
I've also found some other people who had similar issues- assuming it relates to the game textures, shadows, etc. though it was with 9-series cards. They found that it was due the settings being too high for the available Video Memory.
-
@BC-Programmer :yes sir the game textures all seem off!
This is the card I have, MSI GeForce GTX 1070 DirectX 12 GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support ATX Video Card.

Here are two screenshots of the pixalation of the mini map of far cry primal.

The only game You've listed that I have is the Witcher 3. I don't notice anything strange in-game. Well, I mean- obviously or I'd be having the same problem, I suppose.
I wonder if you have the map zoomed in in that pic? Looking at some other images of the game I notice that the minimap in other images appears to show a wider area. It may be that the map has a limited resolution and zooming in will cause the pixels of that map to be more apparent. (in some games zooming in on the full-screen map will zoom the minimap)
I'm using a 8GB GTX 1070 as well, but from Gigabyte rather than MSI. I upgraded from a Asus 770 GTX. I did not use DDU- just replaced the card and installed the new drivers.
What Driver version do you have? (Help->System Information from the NVidia Control Panel). I am using 378.92. Perhaps it is an issue introduced in a recent release.
Interestingly, I've also noticed in my searches that a lot of the people having this issue mention using DDU, enough that I cannot help but think it may not be a coincidence.
-
in my nvidia control panel under help and about nvidia, my version is 8.1.970.0 .
-
Also, in my system information, it has the driver version as 384.94
-
You should revert to the card manuf. drivers to get rid of your issues...
Newer drivers aint always better drivers...
-
I have never done that before, in your opinion, what would be the safest way to go about doing that?
I was wrong about DDU so I would rather ask now.
-
Going back to the older driver version is a good start, since I don't see any issues on the older release. I'd say give 378.92 a shot first, as that is the version that is functioning correctly for me.
EDIT: You can just download the installer for the appropriate version and install it. You can find the versions by doing an advanced search on the NVidia website, here (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us).
378.92 version can be found here (http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/116343/en-us).
-
I downloaded the driver, can I just install that one on top of what I already have or do I need to go to device manager, 1070 properties, and go to roll back driver?
-
I think you replied before my edit- You can just download the installer for the appropriate version and install it. That is how I've rolled back in the past.
-
When I downloaded the driver and ran it, it gave me the error "nvidia installer cannot continue, this nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows, this graphics driver could not find a compatible graphics hardware."
-
I even did the roll back driver option in device manager and it still wont let me install the driver version.
-
I linked the 32-bit driver version by mistake. this (http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/116344/en-us) is the 64-bit version.
-
Installing now, I used the advanced method and had it do a clean installation, restarting my pc and testing it after its done, I will let you know how it goes!
-
Far cry still has issues, would you be open to a remote session so you can see what Im talking about?
-
No, we don't typically encourage that here, for a number of reasons.
Does Witcher 3 still present issues? I can take a screenshot as well and we can see if there is a difference. I could simply not be noticing it as I am used to dismissing low-resolution textures in certain parts of games as being by design rather than investigating; and that may very well be what is happening.
For Primal 3 I didn't notice any other issues in your screenie, so I wonder if it might be intentional and by design, perhaps due to being zoomed in. I found this (https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/181815-far-cry-primal/73338787) For example, where users complain of the issue and one of them claims it is because the game map is smaller; I found This (http://steamcommunity.com/app/371660/discussions/0/361787186435110926/) as well and while they user gets no response the issue sounds exactly the same to me.

What drive are you installing your games to? What media service?
Also try this.... you can do this 2 ways .. you can extract the driver files and mod them, or.....
install the newest driver
Go to your device manager, and select the properties of your display driver
Go to "details" panel, select "Hardware IDs" and you'll have to select your exact hardware ID, there should be several options, leave that window open.... You now have to start modifying files... so if your up for it... Then go to where your driver is installed and locate the folder where the inf files are located. Open it and locate the .inf files that start with "nv***.inf . Most should start with nva*** or it may be something else. .. %nvidia*** Take a screen shot with your HW id window and .inf files and and post it .....

Here is how to locate your device ID

I opened the driver file and located the files. I copied my HW ID in red so you can see what you are looking for. It is not necessarily the correct file.
This does take a bit of time to walk someone through it, but I think you will catch on. Make duplicates of the .inf files so troubleshooting will be easier. Unfortunately I may have to use the unzipped files as I am running the new AMD processor but I am running the same GPU most likely.. If there are problems I can set up the 1700x but I am using a ATI GPU in that build..

I can't determine how that series of instructions would solve any issues listed in the OPs posts. it sounds more like the directions for changing a driver's inf file to add an ID so that a device not listed will install, but the drivers they have install fine.
-
It's clear there are issues with his compatibility, but where ??? I'd say the gpu driver is conflicting with a Windows update, or lack of a newer windows build.
A driver can install without an error as it will look for a code in the sections that work, but may not be optimal. This is how they are coded, to get them to work, and fix it later and the engineers know of a serious current issue. All that code and different hardware types guarantees errors and I'd try to fix it my end rather than wait for a official fix. I've seen this many times and resolved some issues.
I assumed if he pulled his hair out, he already fidgeted with all the settings, and hopefully completely updated windows 10 BEFORE installing the driver by checking his build version, and see if any driver failed to install, or forced a revision that was not optimal.... I'd bet his HW ID is missing in specific sections and it's related to the "RTM" code of the update creator + driver updates. It could be a bad code between the nvidia and intel display driver. That's why I would check the Inf files, then go dll. I would go to the feedback hub, start a feedback, start the system recorder, play the game and save the log / auto submit to Microsoft. I read where they had a whopping 3 feedback on the gtx 1070 Windows update build in mid July regarding this issue.
-
Without more screenshots I'm not even yet convinced the OP even has a problem, which is why I requested additional screenshots. The one game he's provided screenshots for, Far Cry Primal, the only issue is a "pixelated" mini map, which as far as I can tell, is how the game works. The other issues may very well be part of the game titles as well.

Could Very well be true, Buț the latest Windows build îs causing many gpu / display problemei for a ton of people, including the vameș he Mentioned. I bet His build îs a bit older now. WBO know-how unless there îs a dx post. I bate auto correct
