    What is the difference between this and the regular driver?

    Cool down guys, no point getting heated up over drivers. Nvidia releases a lot of drivers, some break more than it fixes, nothing new. You don't have to download and use those drivers, you could have drivers that were from a year ago if you wanted. Theres always AMD side that releases less frequently.

    Frequent driver release = complain :mad:
    No driver release = complain :mad:
    Broken driver = complain :mad:
    Working driver = complain :mad:

    lol go play some jedi fallen order.. that's what im doing! :p

    Hah, I just don't get the hate is all. It's monumentally complex to build those drivers and make them work across umpteen million configs. It's going to have bugs every single release. I suppose I am just empathetic due to being in the same field and knowing how many bugs can slip by you and scenarios that can rear their head that are sometimes out of your control. No matter how many test cases you add and how large the QA team doing exploratory testing is.

    yes it is complex and almost decades of work being poured by thousands of engineers.
    Sometimes latest driver break a very old game which was absolutely fine on older driver.
    If they know there are bugs why don't they label it as beta like AMD does and every driver from nvidia is WHQL except Beta or HF drivers. How does it even receive WHQL certification when the same driver is nuking LCD/OLED screens after an update.
