I am a few NVIDA drivers behind and would like to update it but I know there has been some issues lately with some of the NVIDIA Drivers. For those of you with SLI, which driver works best for you?
Thanks.

On my X99 with GTX 980 Cards I am doing really good on Driver 373.06.
This is on the lasted version of Windows 10 x64, our rigs are close to being the same.

The driver is not the problem in this one. The person behind the screen is. In some cases you might be right, but you need to look at the majority of people having problems with the latest drivers and than make that comment  373.06 not perfect but

Exnetic, if you run Folding at home the newest drivers fail work units. They may work for gaming ,but not folding.

When posting try to post professionally. Pointing a finger and saying it's the fault of the user without sufficient facts is not a good thing. The affected posts were edited.
The newer drivers don't work very well when folding. I have already talked with NVIDIA and a driver report has already been made.Hopefully this can be resolved soon.
I had to roll back to an earlier driver myself.

373.06 is what I am using with my 980Ti's, and they work great. But I also fold when not gaming and the latest are not good for folding.

The OPs Question was "Which NVIDIA Driver is best to use with SLI?" My answer was based on that question. For me Driver 373.06 work best for my Computer Playing Gears Of War 4. This was on a 4-Way GTX 980 Rig and the other was a 2-Way SLI Rig Running 2 GTX Titans Graphics Cards. Under Steam the Following Games played without any Issues on my Titan Rig above.  Driver 375.70 cause me some issues in some of the games when I had SLI Enabled With SLI Enabled on my 2-Way SLI GTX 980 Hybrid Rig I started to have some Office 2013 issues in Excel 2013 Charting. Driver 375.57 Crashed as soon as I enabled SLI on both my Titan and 980 Rigs. Drivers 375.57 and 375.70 then started to show problems with Folding Projects Tasks to Fail. Drivers 375.70 on my AW 15 caused Quicken 2017 to crash. I am running 375.57 on my GTX 970m Single Graphics Card AW 15 Laptop. But I need to go back to Driver 368.81 for Quicken. The Driver I used Prior was 368.81 on all my Rigs, that is with NVIDIA Graphics Cards installed. Exnetic I am not sure why you are saying this? "The driver is not the problem in this one. The person behind the screen is." If I have upset you some how I do then apologies and Please forgive me. I have never worked with you before this Thread so I am not really even sure what it is I even did to you.
