Reset everything to what I had before I attempted to update to 191.07. I'm going to also revert to the 186.18's, my 260 didn't drop below 50fps in TF2 before September so this might help it. Thanks again, guys.

You don't have to uninstall your old drivers first, only if you are going to a different vendor or different video card.

And the only thing that will fix it for sure is a new motherboard. Even reinstalling the OS does not always work. I will find the link and edit it in.

Ok, just wanted to say one thing here, if the driver is not somehow physically damaging your card or board then there is no way the problem can't be fixed by formatting your OS drive and reinstalling windows and using different drivers.

it's my understanding that bad software can cause bad handling of the hardware and can mess stuff up
