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.....

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!

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