I know I know I know, forever (and I used to be religious about it to) the almost 100% school of thought was ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS keep your video drivers up to date.
That was then. Just two three years ago you got what, maybe 7 updates in a year (Nvidia)? maybe 10 on a busy year? Now it "seems" like I'm seeing an announcement of an update every month AT LEAST. Sometimes more than one.
Can they all be that tested and vetted that quickly?
Because I (and a LOT of Fallout 4 players) got bit by the old ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS keep your video drivers up to date when we did just that only to have the newest and greatest BORK OUR GAME. It became unplayable (you couldn't access your pip boy. Try playing ANY FALLOUT without accessing your PIP-Boy. Well, you could "access" it, you just couldn't see it LOL)
So, all of us Nvidia Fallout 4 players had to regress to old drivers.
Since then, I've been wary. And since then it seems like I've been seeing pop-ups for new updates more an more and more often. Soooooooooooooooooooo
I've stopped updating. I've decided I'm no longer going to update until something happens that causes me to update.
So now, I guess I just want all of you to tell me why this is a mistake. LOL. Another reason I haven't been updating is that the stupid Nvidia Experience (that I get my updates from and used to update with) now asks you to log in. Now I know I could just go to the website and download it myself and install it myself and that's just what I did last time but it is a lot more steps and was a lot easier with the Nvidia Experience.
So anyway, just I dunno, I dunno if I'm trying to be talked back into being religious about updating or I'm looking for verification that waiting until seeing a need is ok too. Guess I'm just asking for some opinions on here because you guys are just so smart about this stuff (and I'm so stupid LOL).
Thanks for any info.
