I think its time we saw gfx drivers have auto patching instead of manual patching all the time , games have taken to the idea.
 
ATi drivers come down with Windows Update nowadays, Were you been hiding ?
 
NO I do not want this.

Reason being my 4870 performs WORSE on the new drivers, I use 10.4 and see no reason to upgrade.

Performs worse in bad company 2.
 
I would rather pick and choose my updates than have an auto-updater. Drivers can have negative effects with certain cards/games and so I generally stick with the drive I have unless I know a new driver performs significantly better with the games I play with no negative issues. Because of this I havn't updated my drivers in AGES though.
 
And graphics card threads should be in the graphics card forums :p

And I disagree anyway, I like a new driver to be tested by others before I install it, well, that was the case with ati, I don't know what nvidia's are like since I've only had the card for about a month :)
 
Wasn't there a driver problem once where on certain cards it turned off the fan or something and overheated the cards? If people had auto-updates turned on then drivers with big issues like this would have a greater impact.
