8800GT Drivers...which one?

Featured Replies

Greetings all! I'm upgrading my video card from a 7600GS to the 8800GT. In an attempt to get my ducks in a row before the card arrives, I was wondering which drivers seem to work best with that card. I'm running FS9 SP1 in WinXP. I have so far downloaded the lastest drivers (that I know of anyway) 169.31 and also an older set, 163.76. I have Nhancer installed, but I have also downloaded the newer version of that also.Speaking of Nhancer, I am currently running v32.3.1, and will be installing v32.3.2. Will the new version overwrite my profiles?Regards,Scott KJMS (or thereabouts)

I would recommend installing the latest WHQL drivers which are the 169.25 drivers (right now). Later drivers are Betas or drivers made specifically for a game or the new 9000 series video cards. I think there will be new drivers issued for the 8000 series soon after Vista SP1 has been fully released (not applicable to you since you have the XP OS). I was getting 90 plus FPS using FS9 with an XP OS using two 8800 GTX's in SLI mode and the Duo Core Extreme X6800 CPU. I doubt you'll have any problems getting outstanding graphics and FPS with any driver installed but I would stick with the WHQL's.Best regards,Jim
