Haha i just woke up & see there's been another one (.79)...great, another 600+Meg download just to get the driver again.
Wish they'd stop bundling Geforce Experience.

466.77...working good for me
Just installed 466.77 on two machines: HP GT 635 and Asus RTX 2080Ti. So far no issues to report.
I use standard version, and I've been on 466.55 HF recently.
I mean, is it okay for an old laptop with Intel Haswell processor and GeForce 840M graphics card running the latest nVidia driver version?
A friend once told me that newer versions of the nVidia driver are just for newer graphics cards, so I'm thinking I'll stick with a version that's more suitable and reliable for my laptop, but I'm not sure which one, which is why I'm asking here, hoping that someone knows based on their experience.
Thank You
When the search returns the drivers, click on one, and then on the "Supported Products" tab.
Check to see if your vid card is supported.
That's what Nvidia says.
Personally, I only update vid card drivers if I need to.
For my RTX 2070 (desktop), I'm still on 442.74 standard driver. I haven't found any reason to update the driver.
If the driver you are on, does what you need it to do...leave it.
As for which driver version is best for your 840m... that's pretty much up to you.
There is no "perfect driver" for the 840m.
A lot depends on what you're using your laptop for, what programs or games you're running, etc.

ok... so I am running a EVGA/Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti 8GB ACX model.. of gfx card..
so I guess I am good to go for Nvidia display driver updates for another year or so..
so I did a quick Google check and the resulting Wiki(s) ..
Maxwell -> "The Maxwell architecture was introduced in later models of the GeForce 700 series and is also used in the GeForce 800M series, GeForce 900 series,"
Pascal -> GeForce 10 series, like the GTX 1070 & GTX 1080
Turing -> GeForce 20 series and GTX 16xx series but without the ray-tracing and AI
Ampere -> GeForce 30 series
