I tried to run Dirt Showdown from Steam but each time I try, it crashes. Reporting the problem to Virtual Programming they said that the problem is within the driver itself.
Here are the logs of the crash with different drivers:
nvidia-358 https://gist.github.com/vpltd-peterm/5d299e3f37007785182cc9a49bb79724
nvidia-361 https://gist.github.com/vpltd-peterm/f56dd927cf945787bdd39b38e869f0d8
nvidia-364 https://gist.github.com/vpltd-peterm/a886bd9c62a04325be28097e572d383a
