hi to every one , my 3rd post here :) , iam starting a new build soon (iam not doing the build my self)

so i need to know from every one here from your experience which stable nvidia driver to use with sli (gigabyte gtx 1080 xtreme gaming) ?

i downloaded nvidia driver (368.39 & 368.81 & 372.54 & 381.65) which one of them is the most stable driver & have zero problems ?




the parts i allready bought:


MOTHERBOARD: 2 gigabyte x99 ultra gaming

CPU: intel core extreme i7 5960x (8 core 16 threads 20mb cach)

GPU: 2 gigabyte gtx 1080 xtreme gaming premium pack rev 2.0 (for sli setup)

PSU: zalman 1250 80plus platinum 1250w + corsair rm1000x 1000w 80plus gold + corsair ax1500i 1500w 80plus titanium

OS: windows 7 ultimate 64 bit (i will not use windows 10 , iam okay with windows 7)



i always buy 2 parts of the same item or even different parts in case one of them fail! for a backup , it is better to be safe than sorry!

i really need every one advice about this build & every one opinion ... if i should keep the 2 gigabyte gtx 1080 xtreme gaming or sell them for 2 new gigabyte gtx 1080 Ti aorus xtreme edition ?

also if i did keep both gpu which nvidia driver should i install ?




thx .

It's NVIDIA, all there drivers are stable.. You are paying for that. Use the newest as it will have the best performance for newer games.

I would get a single 1080ti, 2 if its just for backup of course. 1080TI will easily manage 60fps max settings on that nice monitor of yours
