just installed a GTX 1060 over the weekend with that exact driver .. game worked wonderfully
so no the drivers are not your issue
get and USE DDU to uninstall your drivers in SAFE MODE
reboot
reinstall the latest Nvidia driver and select CUSTOM installation
select the box that says perform a clean install
you can get DDU from either the Nvidia Driver forums here
