The joke's on you, because Windows pushes newer drivers on you if you don't update in a while ;)
Probably the best way to do it anyway, since you don't additional crap to go with the driver, you don't get a cutting edge (and possibly buggy) driver and you aren't left with an ancient version either.

Not mine.

Group policy on driver updates by device id for the win!

Nah, i disabled windows auto updates ages ago, and changed the .inf file to let me delete all the random bloatware in nvidia drivers too

Crapforce Experience, is what it is.

Maybe don't rush out game ready drivers...

Nvidia is doing such a poor job with drivers past 2 years.

I mean, i personally don't have any issues but i read a lot.
