Best Drivers for GTX 780

I have a new system with a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 780 Windforce
3X 450W OC graphics card installed running on 64-bit Windows 8.1.

What are the best drivers to install - direct from Gigabyte's website, where they have the NVIDIA v320.49 driver (266.99 MB - 30-07-13) or are there other drivers which produce better results?

I can see on NVidia's website they have what appears to be newer versions: GeForce R331 Game Ready Driver - WHQL - Version: 331.65 - Release Date: 7 November 2013.

I wanted to ensure that there isn't anything specific for the OC version of the 780 card I have.


TIA.

I have the same card on W7 and using 331.65 absolutely no issues. Haven't messed around with the clocks much as I only game at 1080p but currently on stock voltage 105% PT with 1024 (1176 boost) and 6500 on the memory. The fans are quiet with a custom profile and I haven't seen the temp go above 70c yet. I do have a side fan though.

The OC will be on the card, drivers won't change that :) You can grab MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision to see/change the overclock, might be worth doing as you can probably push the card further!
