Can't use newest Nvidia driver/s.

I am an owner of GX-791 and from months I have problem with drivers, which come after 373.06. Recently my windows had an update and it updated my driver automatically to a newer version which doesn't work well. So what happens when I use later drivers is:

- When I run games in 4k resolution the FPS don't go above 29.97fps with v-sync off.

- Predator sense stops displaying the frequency of the GPU. What I see is '----' instead of '1189' for example. And probably therefore overclocking of GPU doesn't work.

 

I wonder whether Acer will upload a BIOS update or something that will fix this because the OS updates my driver automatically and shows it as critical update and can't prevent it.

Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
-Model number
-Part number(not required, but helpful)
-CPU
-GPU
-Operating system

Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
