gotta say last few drivers since .22 really ruined performance for me on gtx 1080
the last driver that introduce freesync was flat out broken but people let it slide because of that damn freesync feature....

Which driver do you find optimal? Only recently got a 1080 and would like to play around with drivers for it, thanks.

The driver wasn't broken for everyone. My performance did not suffer.
For people who want DCH:

https://international.download.nvidia.com/Windows/418.81/418.81-notebook-win10-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe
EDIT: I see nvidia's driver page now has a Standard/DCH toggle.
