Hello,

which driver should one choose for mining?
GRD or CRD?

There's no reason for you to install Creator-ready-driver if you've already installed GRD.

The only difference is the optimizations for "Editors and Production" applications like Photoshop and others.
Under the hood, it's the same with GRD that still uses CUDA.
So hypothetically, it has pretty much the same performance with GRD when it comes to mining (so stick with the driver that was properly tested by mining software developers).
