Re: I just got...
One of the interesting little things I came across is that the current nVidia driver, which I think is the ten-month-old one you mention (v352.63) is the same version number as a beta video driver for Win10 (and, of course, I have been told graphics problems are my own fault for using a beta driver).
What I have noticed is that Windows drivers get fairly frequent upgrades with settings tweaks for specific games using DirectX, and I can't remember the last time there was any reference to OpenGL, which made that helpful advice even more stupid, because the person giving it knew I was using an OpenGL program on Linux.
(I am running Linux Mint 17.3 and I cannot rule out there being a later driver version used by Mint 18.)
With Windows 10, I am told, nVidia lost its advantage on graphics, but that's down to the new DirectX version.
