http://www.hardwareheaven.com/windows-xp-linux-nvidia-display-drivers/57666-lets-benchmark-some-these-damn-nvidia-drivers.html Criminy posting a link using Firefox by copying and pasting is an exersize in frustration on this board. Anywhay check out that thread current favorites for performance seem to me the 66.70's however I was kinda fond of the IQ on the 66.72's.

Try the WHQL 66.81 drivers. You can find those on N-zone (if can go there)

I've not had any problems at all with the 66.70's, except when pushing my overclock but thats the same on all the drivers
