Well, to be honest I haven't tried upgrading drivers after installing w7. Previous experience is based on vista and xp.

I like how they added more support for newer titles, yet theres still hdr flickering in older titles like Fallout 3. How about they support the older titles properly before adding support for newer ones? 
But I suppose the titles that are no longer interesting to the mass media won't need the support, afterall it's the review sites you have to impress not the average user right.
And it's not even like Fallout 3 is some obscure niche title, it's about as casual and mass appealing as can get.

Thats probably true, theres no flickering in the 186.xx drivers which where superceded by the 190 drivers 
But of course those drivers don't support the newer games and so you find yourself uninstalling and reinstalling various drivers if you want to play different games, hardly optimal. |

196.75 Drivers will fry your lovely nvidia graphics card. GJ nvidia again, this is like 2nd driver that fry´s your card?. Anyway my friends 295GTX popped smoke out yesterday because of these drivers, and he was playing WoW ._.. There is shit loads of reports cards breaking, so dont use these :>
"We're getting reports where users are getting intermittent low FPS after installing these drivers. It seems that it is related to the fan control included in these drivers not working correctly and is causing the video card to overheat on 3D applications. This will affect Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2 Beta. Please uninstall the drivers and revert back to the older ones."

A lot of people keep saying that, but there is no "correct temp". I don't have Everest installed, so I can't check what it displays, but GPU-Z just displays every single sensor that is available on the PCB, and it can't be incorrect. It reads it directly from the card's BIOS.
What do you consider "wrong" and "right" temps in your case?
Also, you can't feel the heat from the exhaust really, the air will never get really hot.

Until we can verify and root cause this issue, we recommend that customers stay with, or return to 196.21 WHQL drivers. Release 196.75 drivers have been temporarily removed from our Web site in the meantime."
I rolled back to 195.62.
