Just curious what the best folding driver for each generation of Nvidia cards. Possible to setup a sticky post with that information so people can find it easily? I know it has been covered in the past but I am not having any luck finding it by searching. I am looking to find the best driver for my 1080 card, doesn't seem like I am getting the best PPD possible for my setup. Thanks in advance for you help and suggestions.

My opinion, Get the next to latest driver. I seen or recorded no measurable difference between drivers of the last few months. Nvidia releases a new one every month or so, so keeping track of all drivers for all GPUs is a tedious (and useless) job. The first drivers needed some tweaks, and occasionally you got a bad apple. The newest drivers sometimes come out with errors (non folding related). I'd stick with the 2nd latest stable driver,as there are no real benefits in the newest driver for folding or crunching, and the newest driver occasionally gets pulled.
