Problem with new Nvidia drivers

Some people are saying that their cards were damaged as a result.  I notices an fps drop for our 25 man (was fine in the 10), but my cards are fine otherwise.  Rolling back the driver version now just to be safe.

thankfully i'm lazy and never upgrade until months later

My Nvidia drivers are about 8 months old now I think... maybe older. (version 175.19 however old that is) and I still play new games fine!

They don't really support older cards like mine so why bother. Just risks problems with new programming messing a card up.

If you don't have issues - don't bother!

Nvidia doesn't update the drivers for their older products for the most part. I think my hardware is now "legacy", so no more driver updates.

When they update their drivers, do they release a list of products that they're intended for?

Yep, like this one:

Exactly my point!

The fixed the fan control issue and released new drivers.  They actually had the beta version out for a while, but I wasn't really thrilled with the idea of testing them myself.
