So , this has been happening for quite a while now.

Geforce Experience just doesn't find any new drivers on my Lenovo Y50.

I have to go to the nvidia driver page then install them manually.

Any idea why this happens?

 

Using Windows 10. Before I upgraded it used to work without any problems.

i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz (Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo); ASrock Z87 EXTREME4; 8GB Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 RAM @ 2133MHz; Asus DirectCU GTX 560; Super Flower Golden King 550 Platinum PSU;1TB Seagate Barracuda;Corsair 200r case.

DO NOT USE NEW DRIVERS ON THE Y50

Sorry for yelling - 355.60 is the FURTHEST you want to go. Trust me. I've had mine for 2 weeks now and the rest are utter crap

I've had the Fallout 4 driver and it works fine for pretty much everything...except SOMA. That game just crashes. I'm trying out older drivers to see which one will work.

it forces high idle clocks on the GPU - basically running it at light load when it should be off - trust me and D2Ultima when we say 355.60 WHQL is the last stable laptop driver

You have a desktop. The 358.50 and later drivers refuse to install on most Lenovo Y50 machines with Win 10, and if you get them to install normally anyway, the downclocking issue is present still.

355.60 isn't the last stable driver. It's the most stable of the drivers 350.12 and later.

 

347.88, pre-GTA V-ready driver, is the last stable driver, for desktops and laptops alike.

 

I'm lucky and I had no problems with 350.12, 353.06 or 355.60. None at all. But it doesn't mean that all the drivers are problem-free, and if you don't NEED an update, don't bother trying to update. That's the state it is in right now.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
