    Quick poll for ppl using NVIDIA hardware for video editing: has GeForce Graphics Driver 552.44 treated u well? Ive seen a couple of complaints online, but complaints are always louder than happy users :/ Id like to hear from ppl for whom it just works, too. Tell me what you use it for, how long you have had it installed, and whether you had to change anything to make it behave. Even a quick "works fine for me" helps when deciding.

    keep a short log of what driver ure on and when you changed it (pnputil /enum-drivers shows installed packages and dates) :/ When something breaks later, youll know if teh timing matches. worked for me anyway 🤷

    been there man for gaming, stability matters more than the newest game optimizations. If there's a separate stable/studio/recommended branch, that's usually the better fit.

    Driver updates do sometimes incldue security fixes, so I wouldnt stay on a very old version forever. But waiting a week or two after rleease to see if a htofix appears is perfectly reasonable. worked for me anyway 🤷
