    but they are already in windows update. every time when it happens every forum is booming with posts about crashes, bsosds and tdrs, espacially in win10


    But doesn't that have to get through WHQL Certifcation to be available, by that time the driver is a couple of months old?

    Funny thing is, those that do keep up with everything also know that BSOSDS are a thing of the past as it is now a GSODS.....

    I've been saying for many years that drivers should auto update themselves...

    Those who want auto updates for drivers can enable it. As for the rest of us... keep it the hell away from us. I've seen enough WHQL/certified ready drivers cause crashes or outright stop the card fan from spinning from both nVidia and AMD. nVidia in more than one occasion has pulled a driver and replaced it with a fix with identical numbers.

    Not to mention, until recently, all driver updates were dropping my 970's performance off a cliff. It was only the last driver or two which seemed to be fine and match old performance.

    After the last time, I used DDU to delete all files from previous drivers through Safe Mode. But it went wrong, cause I hadn't used a local user account, so there was no other way then to install Windows and all software. This time, instead of doing that same thing with every install of a new driver, I also had created the local account. Rebooted in safe mode, not from DDU, but in windows itself, then used DDU, rebooted and installed this driver.

    I saw that there were some comments about getting more fps with Battlefield 1, I'm gonna run a test and see if it's also true with my system. The only game I play on pc is Battlefield 1, cause I just bought a nVidia Shield 2017 and stream all my non-shooter games to my tv. It's great!
