I always installed my Nvidia drivers on my data drive, which is a platter spinning old fashioned SATA hard drive. Would it increase performance to install it on my main SSD which holds my OS? I have an additional SSD for games, would it also help to install it there? Trying to keep my main SSD as empty as possible.

Thanks.

Drivers are loaded into RAM (IIRC) so it wouldn't really make a difference other than startup time. Also the location you are picking is just the software aspect of the driver, the actual driver goes to the System32 folder in your Windows Directory.
