Brink, we are now on page 39, would it be possible to erase (except post 1) 30 of these pages as redundant?

I tend to agree. Many are just thank you posts.

Oh, and thank you!

So this hotfix is basically if have issues with 2 games ? Recently just bought one of them, yet to know if it crashes to need to use this Hotfix, says if it crashes from Directx issue. NVIDIA should have just made a new driver software as usually do just for game reasons, but as i see it's still 347.88 as of 3/17/15 being latest WHQL.

Brink: maybe prune it then? Still, its not really all that important, just an idea.

Are you 64-bit OS?

Each game that comes out seems to get a new driver, Battlefield Hardline was last one, now Grand Theft Auto V. Do not see much on other fixes. Oh, SLI don't they all have this anyway ! I took it, but always save other driver in case of issues, roll back.

Just a heads up. GTA V performed dramatically better on both NVIDIA and AMD when using the latest beta driver compared to 349 (NV) or 14.9 (AMD).
