If your card is not listed as having improvement(s) and your current driver is stable you may want to stay with your current driver. Yeah, cuz the latest driver has the same definition as the last stable update in that case. So, if your card is not listed, dont update cuz it will ruin your card and probably make the latest version of NVCP buggier.
Dude, always update your drivers. I would have understood your reasoning if you where talking of ATI, but nVidia are pro's, no need to worry.
