Choosing between NVidia drivers.

[maxparker]

Hey everyone! Just build a brand new rendering rig (Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 3070 FE). I’m a freelance VFX Artist, so upgrading to this from my MacBook Pro has been amazing. I often game on the side.

 

So when installing drivers, and was wondering if using Studio drivers will have a significant hit on my gaming performance, or if game ready drivers will have a significant hit on my VFX performance. What would you recommend for optimizing performance between both tasks? Full system specs below...

 

Thanks!

Really there's almost no difference. Studio drivers are slightly older but more stable, while regular drivers have minor tweaks but aren't as stable.
