    I have a Asus with 980m, I use the driver from asus website, it is version 362(in panel it show me 369?), because I have not much time to test now and most of last drivers from nvidia had some problems, I ask the owners of 980m, what driver version you use(I only have time to play some Witcher 3 and Gwent, usually few hours on weekend)...

    The only way to answer this question is to test them out yourself. Even with the same GPU, almost no two machines will react the same way. Odds are you're going to run into some kind of issue with the any of the newer 37X.XX drivers - the question is which one will give the least trouble.

    Honestly, if what you have is working with the games and applications you use, stick with it. The only time to update is if it's absolutely necessary, such as with Battlefield 1, where the game will refuse to even launch unless you're on one of the latest approved drivers.
