Current game crashes within usually 5-10 minutes of game time.
(Sometimes requires restart of computer.)
Current specs:
Nvidia gtx 2x 680’s SLI mode.
Resolution 5680×1080 Also does this in 1980×1080
Driver: Tried both newest drivers available, same problem (350.12 & 347.88)
Im thinking maybe its a driver issue? Anyone know a stable NVIDIA driver?
Settings in game are for the most part maxed, have played around with them a bit but I dont think its due to in game settings (had no problems prior to playing half a year back)
Seems just recently been having problems.

Current tried solutions: none worked.
-Have tried GW2 Repair
-uniinstall and re-install gw2
-installed those 2 new drivers

The two latest drivers from NVIDIA are rushed and very buggy, apparently they wanted to optimize for GTA. GW2 is not the only game that has issues with those drivers.
Don’t use 350.12 and 347.88, revert to 347.52 (clean install).

^This is sound advice. There seems to be a voltage issue surrounding the current NVIDIA drivers, causing cards to become undervolted in SLI config when under heavy loads. This will cause your cards to reset, which in turn crashes the NVIDIA drivers, the game that was running, and most likely require a restart.

The problem most likely resides in an unclean driver install when you attempted to revert back.

Try a truely clean install – I recommend Guru3D’s Display Driver Uninstaller –

Clean up your drivers and try 347.88 again
