Anybody have any experience with this new device driver?  I downloaded and installed it about a week or so ago and have since experienced (1) occasional momentary video blackouts and flickers, and (2) strange digital clipping and something that sounds like 60 cycle harmonics in a slow release compressor on tom hit tails in BFD3, no weirdness observed in Sonar so far.  Just wondering if anybody else is using this driver and having any issues?  Thanks.

There were issues with NVIDIA's drivers a while ago . I just updated to 364.51 a couple days ago, and not had issues. One thing of note is for DAW work, you only want to install the actual graphics driver and PhysX software. The others are for gaming use and specific to hardware not used (3D stuff, HDMI audio driver, and ShadowPlay). If you run the installer again you can do a custom install and select only those two options, then check "perform a clean installation" at the bottom. That should remove the other items, but you can also uninstall them manually.

I replaced my ancient AMD Radeon HD 7500 adapter that came with my Dell XPS 8500 with a Gigabyte GTX 7500 Ti. I was getting BSODs from the AMD, as well as almost daily driver failures that Win10 was able to recover from. I installed the v364.51 drivers with the adapter and have had ZERO problems since. One happy camper!
 
I don't see the v364.95 driver listed for the 7500 Ti, but do see it listed for the older 9 series adapters. So...not apples vs apples. Sorry.

Nvidia has a slew of other driver revisions posted.
I'd uninstall the latest driver... and go a revision of two back.
See if the behavior persists.
If so, it may be time for a new video card.

I'm not having any particular problems, but then I'm on a newer driver version. A card as old as the 9500 is on a kind of maintenance support and not on the mail drive update track. With old cards like that I generally recommend just getting whatever driver Windows Update wants to give and leaving it alone. nVidia doesn't spend a lot of time with updates for cards that are 8 years old. The hardware can't support newer features either, so you don't generally need highly updated drivers.
 
If you are interested in more up to date stuff, I'd look at picking up an inexpensive new card. That'll get you on the latest drive track, as well as support for the latest features.
