GTX 580 driver

[enguerran]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum.

I have a GTX 580 (GV-N580UD-15I) and am wondering if I should only use the drivers provided by Gigabyte or can I also use those directly from nVidia web site ?
In other words, do Gigabyte personalize their drivers for their cards or do they use nVidia ones ?

Cheers,
Enguerran

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Unless you have one of the OCed cards then the nVidia drivers should, work fine.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Mine is sligthly OCed:

Anyway, I'm staying with Gigabyte drivers for the moment.

Yes I would say that is the favourite thing to do then.

Why is this? Are the drivers under the gb download section the same as on nvidia site?  They look the same for this card.

I think most of them are the same apart from some may be tweaked for the various OC cards etc.
