    Hi all. I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC+ GAMING ACX 2.0+. I have recently found that driver version 361.75 has given me best performance overall with all games even though its an old driver.
    This version of driver reduces game stutter a'lot for all my games other than Hitman.
    Does anyone else know of a better driver or know of a better version to give best performance overall?
    Why is it that the newer drivers make the card perform so badly with stuttering unless the fps remain at the refresh rate of the screen?

    I am about to get the same card, but with the HSF. This is good to know and I will experiment to see if the same type of results happen to me. What others games have you tried?
