Looks like a new driver specifically for Windows 10 roll out. Has DirectX 12 or so it says.

Would be nice to have something to test it on, lol.

Hopefully installs without issues

Seems like there is quite a bit of grief over in the Nvidia Forums regarding Windows 10 drivers. This 353.62 is the Nvidia driver that the Windows 10 installation does, but then the Nvidia Experience app backlevels the driver. Whoops. Looks like Nvidia dropped the ball on this one. Probably sorted out in the next couple of days.

This one came from Geforce Experience. I don't have windows 10 installed.

It installed without any problems and is working fine. It's probably because it came from Nvidia themselves as opposed to Windows downloading it.

Yes, that method would be fine. The problem comes when you install Windows 10.

I prefer not to use either of the automated tools. I look at the nvidia.com website (or in my case nvidia.co.uk), and see

GEFORCE GAME READY DRIVER

Release Date: 2015.6.22
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit
Language: English (UK)
File Size: 278.72 MB

RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS
Just in time for the highly anticipated title Batman: Arkham Knight this new GeForce Game Ready driver ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience.

So I decide not to bother.

Good to see this.
My GTX 480's are only DirectX 11 compatible.
I will be prepared before I go for Win 10.
