Hello i have Evega 650ti boost 2g superclocked last time i downloaded drivers my screen went black and after 20 minutes of no change i restarted the computer only then it didn't recognize at all my GPU (didn't appear in device manager) and my computer had horrible resolution while the sides of my monitor still were black almost like its using only 65% of the monitor like after installing new windows.

i could not install new drivers because it didn't recognize my GPU but after i did system Restore everything was fine and my GPU appeared in my device manager

so today nividia released new drivers i was wondering if i should risk it and download them what could cause the problem above ?

thanks

Some new drivers are junk, but most provide tested improvements. I have had similar experience with GTX 470s in SLI, but I did install the newest driver last night and it works fine. I suggest that you first establish a restore point and then update the driver.
