[Update]

NVIDIA just pushed a hotfix driver 375.95 for the low memory clocks that some users were experiencing with certain Pascal factory-overclocked cards. You can download it here.

[Original Story] 

NVIDIA released today the GeForce Driver 375.86, now available for download via GeForce Experience or the official website. This new version adds a temporal SLI profile for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare while providing the "optimal experience" for Battlefield 1, Civilization VI, Tom Clancy's The Division Survival DLC and Steep Open Beta.

Battlefield 1 and Civilization VI already received a Game Ready driver release, of course, so it would follow that today's 375.86 driver contains further performance optimizations. We've also embedded below the fixed issues and open issues; among the fixed issues, NVIDIA listed the long-standing 144Hz flickering with G-SYNC monitors, which should now be over. You can check out the full document containing the release notes for driver 375.86 here.
