    Wow, they just Forced /pushed the 376.53 last week
     
    Wonder how long before Win 10 insists on forcing these on my Folding Rigs and kills the PPD again

    For best Folding PPD  you want to stick with 372.90 or 373.06
     
    Might not be the best for gaming; but, they Rock for a dedicated Folding machine

    I'm in the same 1972 Ford Pinto. I think I'm on one of the 376 drivers but since it's running fine I'm leaving it well enough alone.

    Someone else's turn to test drivers for Folding and or Crunching, myself staying on 373.06 until then.
    Good News thought about OpenCL 2.0 See Post http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2616441

    Haven't updated drivers since the 376 range. Last time I tried, it broke something. Nvidia is just rolling out these drivers too fast for me, makes me leery of installing them.

    They said that about others that I installed and it made no difference. One game being, BF 1.

    For sure. The 372.90 is the best driver out there to date. Anything newer is PURE CRAP! The newest driver that came out March 9, caused my 3Dmark Firestrike score to go down by over 2,000 pts......
