    guys pls help im on the driver my PC came with and everything works for 3D rendering. now NVIDIA has GeForce Notebook Driver 337.50 Beta out and the app keeps nagging me. part of me wants the fixes, part of me remembers teh last time an update gave me black screens for a week. has anyone been running it for a while? 😭 any issues worth knowing before i click install? i would love a short, honest answer from people who have actually used it for a few weeks. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    ahh classic keep a short log of what driver ure on and when you changed it (pnputil /enum-drivers shows installed packgaes and dates)... when something breaks later, ull know if the timing matches.

    ahh classic my approach: make a restore point, download the previous driver package sooo its ready, then try the new one... if anything misbehaves, DDU and reinstall teh old one.. 🤦 that makes updating a low-risk experiment. fingers crossed 🤞

    ok so for playing in bed, stability matters more than the newest game optimizations. if theres a separate stable/studio/recommended branch, thats usually the better fit. fingers crossed 🤞

    hmmmm not sure about that "If it works, dont touch it" is fine for a while, but eventually a game or app will require a newer driver and youll be jumping several versions at once, which is riskier. idk maybe im wrong lol

    @kiraa503 works on paper, not in real life. i swear 337.50 is cursed
