Well bud, im not an nvidia guy anymore, so im really not the right person to ask about their drivers, but you can try bought the drivers and see wich one works best for you. Just dont forget to use the Drivercleaner utility between unistalls and you should be good.

No need to thank me bud, just here to help.

Be good,

mainman

Edit: ohhh by the way, nice sig!!!

hey, is it that important to use the driver cleaner?

Yeah, drivercleaner will save you a lot of problems. Welcome you two to DH but please "gasto", max allowed size for sigs is 400x100 pixels and 30Ks

There is no best driver really, everyone has a favourite and an opinion.
I am currently using the 56.55 drivers and find them rather good.
I am waiting to see how the Omega 53.03 set will turn out as they are generally excellent.
Also Starstorm drivers are worth checking out the 53.03XQ set are excellent.

Hope this helps, there are hundreds out there to try, the couple I listed
worked for me on my Ti4600.

Good luck and don't get stressed trying
