Are the newer NVidia drivers now behind a paywall or something? I went to Nvidia.com, like usual, click on "GeForce drivers", punch in the info for a GTX950 and Win10 64-bit, and that's what it spits out as newest,
version 368.81, July 14, 2016.

Surely they have released newer drivers since then?

I don't even see "Advanced Driver Search" on that page. Just "Automatic Driver Updates", "Manual Driver Search", and "Auto-Detect My GPU".

Edit: Are you on a different site, like TPU or something?

For a while, I avoided the Experience program -- it was more bloatware. Now I see it's a way to configure game-profiles. But I don't want it to do things automatically unless I make that decision myself. I've let it notify me that there's a new driver, and I've chosen either path of going to NVidia to get the download or getting it through the Experience program. But I always select "Clean Install," and may even manually check or change the list of programs to install.

It used to seem that monthly drivers were a pain to install. Well -- it's still a pain. At least you get to "practice" if you need to do it a certain way that you know works well. I just think it complicates your monthly maintenance and computer usage.

On the up side, I don't remember over the past year when a graphics update fouled up my overclock profile-performance. Everything has been consistently wonderful -- mostly.

Just waiting for my friend that I recently sold a G4560 rig to, with a GTX950, to start blaming me for Nvidia driver errors and quirks. Just because he's like that.
