Both are the same.
But,when a new driver is out,you can find it first on Nvidia's website.Other manufactures usually don't update their driver page as fast as Nvidia does

Always use the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.

The CD you got from Gigabyte with a card that is over a year old probably has drivers that are just as old. The latest ones from Nvidia just came out yesterday.

I thought so, many thanks for confirming.....

RE problem i had, i seemed to resolved the BSOD with disabling the 4th GTX480 as I have a 1200watt PSU and for some reason after 8 months it appears it's not enough power for 4 SLI ....3 way SLI gives me same performance so i'm happy to leave it that way....
