NV drivers are excellent, especially for stability. One driver that causes issues for a small sect of people (me included) does not change that fact.
Update: Played COD:CW and AC:Valhalla for a few hours today, with a +45 OC (used to only be able to do +30 without crashes) and it ran perfect; not a single issue. Either the new platform, a fresh windows install, or the 461.33 driver corrected the issues I had with the 461.09 driver.
