    I use my PC for video editing and some gaming, mostly gaming. NVIDIA offers different driver branches: a gamnig-focused one with frequent releases and a more conservative one aimed at creators. the ForceWare Beta Driver Im on now is teh gaming one. should I switch? what do I lose and gain?? I would appreciate hearing from ppl who switched in either direction and why. any ideas??

    ok but which apps do you use for older games, and do they list a recommended driver??

    Don't hop branches every week. Pick one, note teh version, and only chnage when something you need is fixed or added. Frequent switchnig makes troubleshooting harder.

    Check your creative app's system requirements page. Some list a minimum drievr version for GPU acceleration features. Make sure whichever branch you pick meets that.

    lol same thing happened to me swithcing branches is easy: download the other package from teh NVIDIA support page and install it with the clean install option (or DDU if you want to be thorough)... ur apps dont need reinstalling. hope that helps :)

    RAM prices doing their own thing again smh
