xorbeThe writing is on the wall that nv is not giving Win7/8 enough love any more. Driver TDRs on Win7/8 have also crept in as the driver is bent to favor Win10, and hacks added to keep Win7/8 going. I gave up and actually moved to Win10. It would be best to revert to whatever the last driver was before the TDRs showed up a while back, and just stay there.
The reason I updated the driver is because in this driver sometimes when browsing the driver is stopped working for some reason although the occurrences has been reduced significantly on recent Firefox release. Looks like I'll just keep using this driver on my Windows 7 PC forever :shadedshu:
