No fix in today's Game Ready driver from NVIDIA. Stay on 373.06 if you want to keep folding.

A comment from NVIDIA on the NVIDIA driver forum states that they have not identified the root cause of the issue but it is a top priority bug.

Need more folks with idle GTX 10X0s to jump on!

Mine strangely stopped folding for a few days then I realized a Windows 10 insider update stealthily upgraded my NVIDIA drivers past 373.06 and broke FAH. I've sinced rolled them back (again) so I'm back to gaining steadily on @nintendoeats!

The latest NVIDIA drivers released this morning (376.09) do not fix this issue yet.

@miradoand @leyledorp: Welcome! Thanks for joining the team.

@flashflood_29: Yeah, with such a large group of people, many of whom have higher-end GPUs installed, we could certainly go much further. Maybe we could get a spot on the community spotlight somehow?

@nintendoeats: Well I guess I'll roll back my drivers, then! :)

@nintendoeats: Yeah, I've had that tab open for almost two weeks and have just been lazy in posting the issue here!

@nintendoeats: Nice, I completely missed that when I was just skimming for answers.

Just a quick heads up to my fellow NVIDIA GPU folders: The NVIDIA drivers after 373.06 break Folding@Home for the GPU, but the CPU will still process work units. If you want to keep earning most of your points, stay with or roll back to 373.06.

I've got this thread perpetually open in a browser tab for any news of a driver update fixing this.

@nintendoeats: Interesting. How did you determine your 1060 wasn't being fed properly? I haven't seen an issue with the 1080 and my CPU working simultaneously, but that doesn't mean it's not bottle-necked somehow.

@forcen: Nice! Thanks for sharing that.
