Well you seem to know that your drivers are out of date if it didnt seem to work. So in theory it kinda work

Seriously, we dont know exactly what they check,  version number? or maybe just if driver is too old?

Oh and I hope its not doing exactly what they said on the press release :   updating automatically.  I hope it give us the option to do it.

Yes I  know they're out of date, I held off on downloading the one released last week. Until Impulse detects that I can only assume Impulse isn't ready for it yet. 

But atleast I have the right edition so when it is ready it'll go go go.

My assumption is it will work similar to how you update your games and software, so it will notify you in the update tab.

Wow!

Nvidia and Stardock teaming up to make sure video drivers are up to date, and to help that very complicated process along.

Complicated? You download a file and run it, then reboot. Big whoop.

ID, just how much was spent on this 'special edition'? Wouldn't it have been better to simply make a sticky post on the best way to keep your video drivers up to date, especially if you are having a game issue??

By the way... it is not that critical to have the latest drivers. It is only necessary to have drivers that work with the game. And sometimes, the latest have bugs that may cause crashes that an older version won't.

Personally, I think it is a stupid idea and a complete waste of time and money.

That is marketing, not more, not less. No real benefit for the user.

I Thought they were already partnered...There has been a Nvidia driver tab under impulse community for a year.

Not many users keep up to date or remember to check their driver status.

This new edition is, from what I understand, supposed to notify you of driver updates and then patch it through the Impulse system, as if it was patching a game.

 I'm happy with the current version which also checks my drivers. I waited a long time for the green to be removed from Impulse. I'm in no hurry to have nVidia put any back on it,which I am sure they will.

Just a note, special versions of Impulse such as NVIDIA branded ones will not overwrite an existing installation of Impulse. 

Not everyone reads the forums.  To have the ability to check for new drivers say when updating a game is pretty handy if you ask me.

The only snag is I'm switching to ATi...

Just wondering...where would the driver updates appear, presuming they're available/needed?

One more reason to love Impulse 

Heh, I've seen enough DxDiag reports from various technical support forums to show that quite a few people don't keep their video/sound drivers up-to-date.

It would be nice if Stardock could make a deal with RealTek & Creative to allow Impulse to update sound drivers.  Yet another set of drivers a lot of people neglect.

When I installed the nVidia edition, it said it uninstalled my old version before it could install the new.
