minus-squareAnti-Face Weapon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·3 hours agoNVIDIA drivers are notoriously bad. They break and WILL depreciate your card eventually, forcing you to switch to the slow open source drivers. I have had two cards lose support. It’s absurd. But for 370 it’s kinda a steal honestly.
