I see that under the gui "system settings" --> "additional drivers", there are two drivers for NVIDIA

NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]--Activated
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version current-updates)--Not Activated

I don't understand the difference. Is the second one suppose to be a fix?, ie post-release updates. Should I try it even though it is not the recommended driver?
