Windows 10: Second opinion on Video Driver

Hi All:

I updated from Win 7 Pro 64 to Win 10 Pro 64. On install, Win 10 found that my nVidia driver was out of date, and it stated it may give me problems later. (actually it's not all that bad. Fonts are larger and resolution low, but it will do till I find a driver).

This site suggests driver: KA251Q MM.T8SSM.001 for download. But can I trust this selection? If my old one is overwritten and this one is non compatible for my monitor, I then won't be able to use the monitor to web search a solution. Nowhere does this site say it's a replacement for my current one. My monitor SNID is: 83401648885

Thanks for the help.

Oh, in that case it might be a good idea. Maybe you could step up to the gtx 295 *Big Grin

I've been banned before, it's not fun. This looks like someone just got into his account.

I hope he gets a second chance *Frown
