NVIDIA Driver update
Ok so I don't really want to update it because everything is working for me the way it is. I don't like messing with things that aren't broke ... so to speak. I'll see if anyone techie has an opinion as you mentioned I appreciate all the help and suggestions.

NVIDIA Driver update
While we are waiting for some technical nerds to stop by, I will say that if you have a GTX 750Ti, are running Win 7 and not updating it, and everything is running fine as it is, then there is typically no need to update the graphics card drivers.
I wouldn't recommend not keeping Windows up to date though. Win 7 still receives monthly security updates and will do so until Jan 2020. It really is best to keep a machine that faces the Internet up to date. After January, Win 7 goes out of support so except for possibly emergency security patches that will be it and somehow switching up to Win 10 should at least be considered if one's hardware can handle it. That's just my recommendation though, it's not usually mission critical or worth losing much sleep over -- many of us stayed on Win XP back in the day longer than we really "should have."

I was one of those XP hangers on. I loved that version. I do once in a while grit my teeth and close my eyes and update windows while holding my breath, but its not often. Its very stressful. I need a cuppa tea and a goodie (something with chocolate) before I take the plunge LOL

I have a newer card and still don't update my drivers. I too am a firm believer in if it's working don't fix it. I'd say leave it if everything is performing as you like.
