Nvidia Driver Choice: Opinions which is better?

I'm on 465.89 and with my 2060 Super it gets better FPS, is smoother and is better visually than the 457.30.   I'm sticking with this version for the time being. It's butter.

Thanks for the tip, I will try that on for my 2080Ti 👍

Welp...I think I'm going to start with the 457.30's and test that for awhile on my GTX1080, comparing it to my current 440 driver.

If I get any issues with the 457's I can always opt to try the newer 465.89 at that point.

Thanks everyone, very helpful!

After reading this thread I've dropped back to 457.30 and it does seem a lot smoother. But there again I've fiddled around installing and changing umpteen Nvidia divers over the last thirty years in the hope of utopian performance so I suspect placebo is at play once again.

Edit: No it's definitely much better. GPU memory usage is considerably lower. Smoother and no stuttering. RTX2070.

As posted in the VR Sub-Forum, 457.30 may be a diver of the past (finally!):

Finally some good news for my trusty 2070SUPER, for the fist time since driver 457.30 a new driver is performing the same, no massive stutters or lags, lovely smoothness and FPS the same as well. All previous drivers in-between were “bad” in the sense that they stuttered like crazy but not this one, I’ve yet to Fly normally outside of benchmarking so that will be the proof in the pudding.

Not for me. No idea why but 457.30 is very much better than any later ones with my RTX2070. And I never thought this could be the case.
