I'm about to install either one because I'm installing either on my G80 system. Which one is better?

175.19 - probably has more bug fixes

when installing Nvidia Dirvers, its best to go with the latest one, unless u have a older program that doesn't like the new drivers, but if u have mainly new programs then go with the newer drivers, but old and new drivers should work fine with all programs,

but over all

just go with the 175.19 version

What'd you pay, like $7,000+ for your rig?

175.19, btw.

I read a review, it said the 175.16 got higher fps or something, or is this rubbish?

They have some new drivers out, i am using them right now:
http://www.station-drivers.com/telec...ivers.com).exe

175.31 BETA, from guru3d forums.
They seem to work pretty good, no issues thus far. One of my older games is moving faster tho, getting around 45-72fps. Using the 175.80 i was getting 25-50.
To answer your question, i would use the 175.19. They are more stable then the 16 ones.

The new beta 175.31 drivers is awesome. I can now play COD4 at playable settings ( in my eyes anyways ) . Before i couldn't play that well, but now is playable. (15-26)

The 77's drivers doesn't seem to perform well with the older GPU, they are clearly meant for the newer ones, have fun!
