Hi to all.
I'm writing to describe a problem.
With all the 37x.xx nvidia drivers i have some problems. The monitor shows gray/black lines, this problem disappear if i set 120hz instead 144hz or if i use 368.81 driver.

I'm the only one with this annoing problem? Solution?

Thanks per attention and for reply 🙂

Do a clean install of the new driver. If the issue is still there do a clean install of an older driver. If it is still an issue try a new cable.

i have already try everything, and the problem is still here :\.
As i said whit 368.81 all works perfect, and also if i set 120hz instead of 144hz (with the last driver) all works fine.

I think that is a driver bug

I had a similar issue when browsing some sites were glitching after scroling, I updated to the latest nvidia drivers released a couple days ago. Seems to have sorted out the problem for me.

I have a 1070 FTW.
Meanwhile i found a workaround that works for me.
If i go to Nvidia control panel, set 120hz and then i set 144hz the problem disappears until next reboot/wake up/turn on

yea thats odd. 1070 shouldn't have any issue at all. I rebuildmy computer fresh fairly often so I pretty much am running a clean install of windows 70% of the time. Maybe you want to try doing a fresh install of windows and see if that fixes it. you could submit a bug report to Nvidia and see if they want any info from you about it for future drivers.

I have done a fresh installa 3 weeks ago, when i build my new config, and that problem appear from the first time (also in the old config).

Can you tell me how to do a bug report to nvidia? I'm noob in that 😄

Just to verify you did this already, did you install the drivers specific to this monitor from the disc or from Asus's website download for this monitor. This isn't a monitor that you want running the microsoft generic pnp monitor driver.
its under the "others" dropdown.

right here for bug report http://www.nvidia.com/object/driverqualityassurance.html

click on the link and click give feedback or whatever it is. then there is a send bug report button, it will have you log in with an account and you should be good from there.
