Ok so first, let me explain.

Recently I bought Far Cry 4, as per usual with these games there was a new driver update from nvidia
As i have a GTX 760 MSI Gaming SLI setup, I wanted to update to the new version.
I have a W8.1 x64 with i5-3570, 20 gigs ram and 2x120gb ssd in raid 0.
in Far cry 4 I happen to have ALOT of stutterings and Tree flickerings and such.

Now the problem is that my computer refuses to update to version 344.75, with every attempt to update i get sent back to driver version 335.23 wich is super annoying.

I tried updating using geforce experience and by downloading the driver myself.
quick or cusom install dont help either.
i tried driver fusion and Guru3D - Driver Sweeper but after I restart i just get the same shit.

if anyone has an idea or question or something i should try please advice me.

Usually i know how to fix pretty much everything, but this one is beyond me.

thanks in advance :)

also, if this is posted in the wrong thread please move it or something :) thx !

so how did your driver revert back to 335.23 even after doing driver sweep? anyway instead of using driver fusion try using DDU from guru3d.
