I should add: I get better stability with the Quadro over the GeForce. GeForce has faster clock speed, but the Quadro is better at supporting multiple overlay planes and other buffers which translates to less flakiness.
For example, when working in a paint program, like Krita, if multiple windows were cascaded on top of each other (eg. Krita in front of a web browser, email client, explorer, etc... in the same screen space) selection would become flakey. I'd be working in Krita to access the color swatch palette but every click would register as if I was trying to read the email located on that line in my email client in the window behind Krita. Likewise, using a screen capture utility like Fraps would capture the wrong window when using a GeForce. The Quadro doesn't have issues like that. Everything works as it should.

I only install the graphics drivers. I don't install Nview, PhysX, game controllers, or the other stuff. Currently using driver 382.05 because that version is appropriate for my hardware. You'll have to do the legwork to determine the appropriate version for yours. The Nvidia driver selector can usually figure it out. Just make sure to query for the graphics driver and not beta drivers or other variants. Probably what makes the biggest difference is always performing a 'clean' install. It'll induce an extra reboot in the process, but it's only a minute or two. When you try to upgrade drivers in place (or applications in general for that matter) the installers try to get too smart and end up leaving legacy stuff 'just to be safe'. In the end that stuff only gums up the works.

My default position was to install the latest drivers unless there was information to the contrary. When you say other crap do you mean everything except the actual driver itself?
