they're al different. 16.5.2.1 bit better on "avg FPS", 16.5.3 had cool jitter-reduction/latency improvements, 16.6.1 fixes major/cornerstone issues, but bring new ones(eg they fixed WebGL rendering in some browsers but ruined/affected "2D software mode" in their GPU's, which not result in appcrash or BSoD anymore, compared to some other non-whql and beta versions before). thats mean you choice highly depend on kind of game you plaay and what(in other aspects/parts)PC you had. eg 16.5.2.1 remain popular among Doom and CoD players, 16.2.1 and even 14.4 remain popular among BF4 players in Mantle mode(or simply backported *.dll file from), 16.5.3 go for Archeage or UT4 gamers(some was say TF2 and Armored Warfare aswell), 16.6.1 was for generic improvments, eg videos rendered more correctly(but less not so beautiful), GDI rendering was almost fixed and some major ui issues lowered in frequency.
E:D -wise if you on mid-range GPU - would go for 16.5.3 perhaps. for CFX setups or PC with weaker CPU's things bitt different aswell as priorities. but that also srsly depend on "how do you Windows tweaked" and same bout hardware somewhat.
