    Hi!

    I was trying to do it but rollback option greyed out. Could not unistall driver either :-(   So the only option seems to be removing card from device manager which im not sure I am recommended to do.    Any other suggestions?

    I think most people would suggest doing a driver uninstall and fresh install of the old version drivers in order to get to that version... but I've never had problems simply installing whichever driver version I want without even uninstalling first. I think you'd be fine to simply find the old version and install it as is. You should be able to find it on nvidia's site, they'll have somewhere to find older drivers if you don't have the installer anymore. As an aside, this is why I always keep all my drivers for as long as I can sitting in my downloads folder.

    Yeah, that could indeed also work. It's the less-drastic way of a roll-back.
