Specs:

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350 (4.72Hz overclock)

Memory: G.Skill Trident X Sieres 16GB DDR3-2133

Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 750GB 2.5" SSD

Graphics: ASus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB

------------

 

I recently updated to the latest driver for my graphics card. Immediately after doing so, my game refuses to boot through ModOrganizer SKSE. I receive the error message: "Failed to initialize renderer. Your display doesn't support the supported resolution in Skyrim's launcher under Display Settings".The game will load through Steam. My MO ini's are modified based on mods and enb that I have installed. I assumed this is my problem area, but found it odd that the previous driver worked just fine at 30-40 FPS with no stability issues. I rolled back my driver and the game now loads through MO as it did before. However, FPS never peaks above 7 FPS and the screen is grainy. It worked great prior to updating the driver.

 

My settings are set to ultra (anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering off) with 1080p resolution as I am currently using my TV as the monitor. Again, this setup worked fine before. When loading the Skyrim Launcher through Steam, if I click 'Default' with graphics settings, I immediately receive an error that Skyrim Launcher stopped working as if it's not recognizing my hardware. This did not occur before the driver update.

 

This is well beyond my knowledge, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I sort my mods with LOOT, but cannot seem to figure out how to post the log, so here's the BOSS log:

Well we don't need a load order, you already have pin pointed the issue.

 

So basically, when you downloaded the new driver did you check to make sure that the display was set up properly.

 

Skyrim does not support all display resolutions and I seem to remember seeing a post about aspect ration also playing a part in failure to load game, Gonna check mine real quick.

 

Edit,

 

Im not too too savy on this but out of curiosity did you try to "roll back" driver or did you reinstall the previous driver?

 

Other thought is when you downloaded the driver in the first place, did you get a beta driver you know the one that's latest untested? Bad idea.

 

I've had some driver issue's with games and what I've done is kept a copy of a driver tucked away for well Skyrim cause the one I have is the one I like the best for this game.

 

I'm at a loss at how rolling back could cause a loss in FPS, Im thinking there is a resolution or a setting that doesn't agree with the game and its a matter of finding that and tackling this.

 

I bet there's a guy on here that might know exactly what to do.

16:9 Widescreen and 1920x1080 resolution, just as before. Same problem with window mode is enabled or not. I do find it odd that the launcher errors when clicking the default button. I did pinpoint that the driver update sent everything into haywire. Just don't understand the drastic performance loss when reverting back to the old driver.

IT is always possible (yes with Nvidia) to have had a bad driver install....Do a complete Driver wipe of the GPU drivers. Safe mode clean , then load to windows at 640 x 480 NO GPU driver....then install the latest Official , non beta driver. Careful when selecting drivers at Nvidia, it defaults to Newest video cards, and right now its a 880 Moblie driver...also make sure you are getting the Correct OS..32 or 64 BIT.

 

Drivers can be a pain...

 

EDIT:..my bad looks like no matter what you pick for the GPU it gives the same Driver #.(except 7 series)... BUT 32 and x 64 are different driver versions. Still, get the right version for your card..
