NVIDIA keeps upgrading drivers without skipping a beat-or more to the point-without giving any thought to downside impact on most machines. Each time I upgrade the driver, BSOD is sure to follow and I am sick to death of it regular happening. In fact, one a new driver is debugged, I wont change it for months.

Upgraded to Vista was the biggest misktake and I know that I am far from alone. Both GPU and sound cards have haunted my PC. I am hoping that an upgrade to Win7 will smooth out the flight.
Any thoughts on a new mid range NVIDIA card for a new PC? Graphics are my deal and if anyone has views, let them fly.

Currently I'd go with ATI, or wait until the new "fermi" based Nvidia cards start rolling out.
