We're consolidating all tech support posts and questions into this monthly tech support and questions megathread.
It should be noted, does not represent NVIDIA in any capacity unless specified. There's also no guarantee NVIDIA even read this subreddit, if you have an issue, criticism or complaint; it's recommended to post it on the official GeForce forum.
All Tech Support posts that do not include sufficient information will be removed without warning
Before creating a Tech Support post, please see our additional resources section, it solves a lot of common issues.
TL;DR: DO: Use the template. DO NOT: "i have driver issue please help not 60fps!!"
