update now or stay on the driver my pc came with? the eternal nvidia question !!

ok but how bad would a day of downtime be for your movies? ??

Nothing in the release notes is critical for me, its mostly game-specific fixes.

Keep a short log of what driver ure on and when u changed it (pnputil /enum-drivers shows installed packages and dates). when smth breaks later, youll know if the timing matches. good luck man!

oh also unrelated but anyone elses coffee machine also judging them today. have u checked ur stability settings? mine were reset after an update

somewhere an AI is confidently telling someone the wrong fix rn

for me it was teh cache. swapped it and boom, fixed worked for me anyway 🤷

yeahhh for movies, stability matters more than teh nweest game optimizations. if theres a separate stbale/studio/recommended branch, thats usually teh better fit.

Driver updates do sometimes include security fixes, so I wouldnt stay on a very old version forever. But waiting a week or two after release to see if a hotfix appears is perfectly reasonable. hope that helps :)

hmm idk "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 verisons at once, which is riskier. but hey ymmv
