Nvidia Drivers 358.16, are they stable?

358.16 came out a few days ago, I've noticed they fixed many issues from the beta one. Has anyone tried this driver yet and how stable is it?

I usually update without thinking twice but given the issues during beta it has me concerned. Thanks for any input.

They fixed a few bugs for my KDE Plasma 5.4.2 installation. But EGL mode still doesn't work.

some people got steam crashes with the new driver .. probably was steam issue and is fixed now...

i have been with 358.16 from the beginning with kernel 4.3 and xorg 1.18 ... stable so far
no weirdness, no crashes, no img corruption etc. but also no performance improvements over the previous 355.11
so unless it had some fixes you really need there seems to be no rush really to update.

gsync owners will want 358.16 drivers though

Hmm, it looks like I'll wait for the next ones this time around. Thank you :-)

I thought there were some optimization for Alien Isolation in the 358.x drivers, so I had been running the beta. But if you don't play that, then probably no need to update.
