PROBLEM: Win 10, (coming soon), will try to Auto Update NVIDIA drivers on my system - if I choose to upgrade. (...and, I'm considering doing so...) Prometheus, (my second, and lower end PC), is currently using an EVGA GTX-275 on GeForce Driver 266.58. I don't want the potential issue of Win 10 Auto Updating the Driver; as this is a Pre-Fermi card and currently MUST use 266.58. So, I'm in desperate need of a newer card. Unfortunately, being on disability, my income doesn't leave me much spending money; so, I can't afford a new card. If anyone has a used Keppler card that they don't need, nor want anymore, please shoot me a PM, and I'll get you my information to ship the card to. Any help, is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 1688308 ·

However; I don't quite have that amount. I would be able to pay a private party something, (to be discussed in PM), for their used card. Thanks for the info.

Timelord any particular reason you wish to upgrade to win 10 on that machine ? I would not be in any hurry usually Microsoft allways release a so called new op with heaps of bugs so might be better to wait at least 6 months so they can fix them with a service pack . Can you turn the auto update to notify you about them but let you choose when and if to download a update or has that been changed in win 10 . Sorry no spear GPU's i can donate , only spear i got is a 220 gtx. If you wait you'll have some time to save the $100 bucks or so , yes i know being on a pension is hard i'm on one two .

In the old days of Windows with major point releases (4.x, 5.x, 6.x), that was relatively sound advice. However, Windows 10, despite the kernel being "updated" to 10.x, is really based off of 6.4, which is on the already tried-and-true Vista/7/8 kernel 6.x series. Also, with Windows 10, Service Packs are going away. There won't be a Windows 10 Service Pack 1. That's one of the major changes to the Windows update model. ID: 1688350 ·

When you upgrade your Win7 Pro, you'll get the Win 10 Pro version, which doesn't force automatic updates. ID: 1688353 ·

They're saying that updates will simply be streamed to PCs via Windows Update. There will be no need for Service Packs. All security and bug fixes will be downloaded as individual fixes and not as roll-up packs like Service Packs. ID: 1688366 ·

Besides, since I got Prometheus as a used system, (though in great shape), there's no knowing how long the GTX-275 will last. The guy that gave me the system said he didn't know if the card had a hard life prior to him installing it, or not. As newer and newer cards keep coming out, (the 900 series comes to mind), even my GTX-760 in Exeter will be outdated relatively soon. It's probably a good idea, now, to upgrade the GTX-275 before I upgrade the OS to Win 10. I have been contacted by a generous Setizen who is checking to see if he can help me. I should hear from him tomorrow. If all goes well, I can retire the 275 sooner rather than later. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 1688368 ·

It's about time they dropped that , it has caused me no end of grief over the years trying to update software and then the driver checks to see if you have the service pack and says yes you do so i don't need to load that . Realtek Azailia codec is a very good example of that happening in XP I had to ask Gigabyte to release a stand alone driver to get that to work what a headace that was . ID: 1688375 ·

It is being shipped to me Monday, and should arrive by Friday. I will then change out the 275 for the newer 750. :-) Thanks for all the input, everyone. :-) TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel...

NO DICE!!! Hardware Monitor doesn't see it at all. GPU-Z doesn't see it as a GTX-750. Upon bootup, Precision X/16 states No Recognizable Hardware found. BOINC states GPU Missing. I've resat the card twice, and still NO GO!!! I think the card is NOT compatible with the Gigabyte Motherboard. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9!
