It's not helpful when people post things like "OHMIGOD worst driver EVER! Killed my GPU and ate my dog" or "Don't upgrade, Nvidumb literally don't do anything" which is of course hyperbole, but you'd be surprised how often people post things so hyperbolic as to be nowhere near reality when they discuss these kinds of things. And it happens on every single site that has tech news or tech discussions about video cards. doesn't matter where, same stories same hyperbole.

What people don't understand and was what I was trying to get at when I wrote my post is; a lot of problems people could encounter when dealing with any kind of driver problem could be down to their configuration of hardware and software. which there are quite literally hundreds of thousands of different configurations.

I am also trying to warn people about the dangers of the "vocal minority" where any problems get inflated as to seem pervasive across the majority of users.

This is a problem because it means people won't upgrade, and won't provide feedback. Which means Nvidia won't have enough information, which means they won't solve any problems.

So everyone who says "Don't upgrade, stay on xxx.xx" are effectively holding back any progress that could be made, and are spreading false information with their reasoning as to why you should stay on whatever driver of choice you may have.

If you really think I'm one of the "works for me fam" brigade as you put it, then why would I even bother posting and trying to help people? I answer questions that people have, I try to walk them through using tools like DDU, give information based on what I've experienced to help solve any problems they may have.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of people won't have problems, and most people will be able to upgrade and they'll be fine. But if people are always scared of upgrading because of naysayers, then what do you suggest we do about it? do you think we should stay on 362.00 forever?
