    It seems like everything is beta these days... Windows 10 feels like beta, nVidia drivers feel like beta...

    Haha, way to go nvidia. I did a DDU uninstall on my desktop and Windows 10 tiles are borked now, gif files don't work (really, it's stupid), and best part is GeForce Experience is completely missing from the package. Way to go Nvidia. Way to go.

    Why is it that Nvidia can't/won't release one rock solid driver that works instead of all these half ass game ready drivers, that are not ready for anything. And, more to the point why do we keep racing to these drivers that SCREW our systems-THAT WERE WORKING FINE.

    I read statement from somebody working for Nvidia (don't remember where, forgive my short term memory) that Nvidia couple years ago, dismantle "North-American driver writing team" and moved it to Russia, to save on cheap labor.
    This could be the reason, that "quality" of the drivers went down...

    They should just offer patch updates for games that are optimized instead of having to install a new package every stinking time.

    That and in the case of MS not knowing what they actually want to do with Windows 10 or which direction take it.

    Why would you ever install that rubbish?!?
    I have GFE installed at my PC at work. That small icon with exclamation mark *screw you, I'm not upgrading drivers!) really grinds my gear when I look at the taskbar...

    I heard from one user that his AGA won't work with these drivers, much like with the previous drivers. So... that sucks for eGPU users.

    Maybe Mr. Azor @Alienware-Frank should push Nvidia, to deliver proper drivers who work with Dell's eGPU? He shuffled out the AGA as a substitute for a new AW18 and this is his damn duty.

    Never mind. It was a false alarm. User fixed the problem even with this driver.

    I've been doing quite well with 373.06 on all of my machines. Seems like a good driver.

    I think this is due to the somewhat 'monopolized' industry. You have Nvidia and ATI... you're gonna HAVE to go with one of those if you're into gaming, less competition = more slack
