    I'm currently using the 377.07 (Vulkan drivers) since the 378's make my 4k screen flicker on the desktop.

    I must say, they are keepers for me! All games run great, fine image quality!

    What is the difference between a driver downloaded from Windows updates, a download from NVIDIA site, and vulkan drivers?

    The Windows update drivers are stripped down, containing only the driver, 3D driver and HD sound driver.

    Not really, I see very little difference between one driver and another as far as speed/ stability.

    That said.

    The Windows update drivers are a little older usually, but generally stable because they don't contain all the extras that nVidia puts in them, like telemetry, gforce experience etc.

    I always download/ install Physics when I use with them.

    You can remove those yourself by unpacking the installer and deleting all the stuff you don't want.

    Why would you want to use an old driver from WU ??

    Already do unpack and install, as to why use a WU driver? I tend to try all drivers because I'm like that lol.
     
  9. Uh. Too much time on your hands.

    Whats it take 5 min to install a driver.
     

  11. So you just install them and that's it? You don't test them or anything?
