Didn't see any issue with my 780 (Kepler?).

Are you sure the kernel modules is correctly rebuilt? I've seen that
there was a kernel point release, and not all ABI changes are reverted.
Which means DKMS won't rebuild the modules automatically.

Try to remove it and rebuild it with:

sudo dkms uninstall nvidia-current/375.82 -k 4.9.0-4-amd64
sudo dkms install nvidia-current/375.82 -k 4.9.0-4-amd64
