Had to stop folding a while back cause of driver or hardware related issues sending off windows performance issue popups giving bad gaming and ppd performance.

The card in question is a gtx 560 non ti and i'm currently on the latest drivers but which driver after 275.33 would be the safest?

The popups tend to come up a couple times a day if i'm gaming and i'm worrying that it would effect ppd if not crash the application.

Might be upgrading this card but in the mean time i'm looking for a stable driver for folding as long as its not 275.33 as that driver causes issues in my games.

Thanks for any input anyone has :)

I don't Fold, but do Milkyway, however when Gaming have to shut down Milkyway. Even though DC Projects are supposed to only use available resources, when doing 2 intensive tasks it's not possible to avoid performance issues as the tasks are constantly shuffling Data around and taking up time scheduling and what not. It is always best to Suspend or even Exit out of DC Projects when Gaming. Unless your Game is not hardware intensive.

That's my experience with both GPU based DC Projects and CPU based DC Projects.
