im running the 358.91 driver with my 980ti classified because its been very stable. the only newer game I play is rise of the tomraider. is there any reason to use the latest driver right now? the game looks and plays great. my monitor [so far] is an acer 27" 1080p 120hz. thanks in advance fellas

    Not unless you are experiencing issues or problems with your current drivers. I'm still using 359.00

    If everything is fine you don't need to change driver months,
    except if someone tell you in specific game some driver give much more fps or fix some issue.

    Now if you were to buy a newer game, and there are newer drivers that make the game run better, then by all means update it. I just think it's a pain that I also have to reinstall Precision X every time I update my drivers.

    I don't reinstall Afterburner every time, only when new version show up.
