New nVidia Driver: Test Prior to Install?

Grazie wrote on 5/25/2012, 2:51 AM
that can confirm or deny the value of this new nVidia driver that has been out since the 22 May?

My driver is late 2011 (8.17.12.8562), but it IS working fine - I believe?

So, any pre- and post-install Tests for, say Preview and then Render?

TIA

Not sure, but i think Leslie is asking if you have a later version.
Version 8.17.12.8562 equates to what is known as 285.62 (extract digits).

So you could upgrade quite a bit. 296.10 i find is the best yet. One thing that does annoy me while updating drivers - the desktop icon locations get messed up or missing altogether. So i always use a desktop save utility to save desktops before any nvidia update. Then restore when done.
