Today on my Windows 7 Computers Microsoft Windows Update list a new NVIDIA Driver 376.53 and 282MB in size.
This Driver ATM is not listed on NVIDIA's Website.
I Did Not Download and Install This Driver in Fear it will not work well for Crunching GPU Projects.

     Meh! MS Windows needs to get out of the graphics driver business.

    At lest on Windows 7 you can still hide Drivers and even updates from being installed or updated.

    I'm having this driver forced on me in Win10 (defer updates on and driver updates turned off) after 3 attempts to roll back to 372.90. 
     
    That being said, I was getting 900k+ PPD on my 1080, which is better than 372.90. If this driver continues to out-perform, I'll need to figure out how to get it on my other machines. The driver file isn't on the NVIDIA website, nor can I find it locally.

    This no longer works after you upgrade to the Anniversary Update.

    900k+ PPD on a single card is high,
