So, if you use SLI, which is sold and maintained by nvidia, and it doesnt work right due to a nvidia driver update, then it isnt nvidias fault, when THEY developed it?
Also, anecdotal evidence does not disprove anything. Nvidia had problematic drivers in the past, when windows 7 was the big OS. Like that bug where fermi cards would only run at their 2D clock rate.
Acting smug because you dont OC, run SLI, or use windows 10 doesnt help anybody.
Ironically, I've had less issues on my "alpha quality" Windows 10 OS than anywhere else. At least in term of bug severity.
