nVidia Driver update has 2 flavours

[ibr_remote]

I just updated my nVidia driver, and I noticed it gives me a choice to install one of 2 versions:
For games or for artistic creators ! I don't know how much of a difference it makes for Poser use, but I opted for the latter.

Here is a screenshot of the Creators Version nVidia driver update from my machine - performance improvement for Cycles:

Very interesting that nVidia decided to make that distinction. Nice.

I don't use any of the applications and renderers from the list often enough to make it worth getting the dedicated driver. For instance, I don't render with Arnold, I use Unity3D instead of Unreal, I use Paintshop instead of Photoshop, and I use Substance Designer like once or twice a month. Therefore I better stick to the default driver.

My nVidia card isn't my primary display, mostly just for renders, so the drivers don't get updated very often. I wonder if the Cycles optimizations apply to Poser's version too. I'll have to try that latter when I get the chance.

I wonder if that means Win10 Creator's Update? That might make a difference in the installation. I have Win10 Pro, and often I have problems with updates killing my graphics card and I have to do a roll back, update the graphics card first and then let it update.

The Creator version apparently gives better results when doing renders. I don't have a supported OS, but a Blender user I follow on YouTube said his Cycles performance was 30% faster.
