i have recently returned to the nvidia world after a few years with ati. 7600gs oc 512 with 91.47. i think the card is ok. googling around indicates that some nvidia driver releases cause what i began to observe--random resets or freezes in graphic-intensive situations (why, even their installer is flaky beyond belief)i would be grateful for your opinions and experiences: which driver is the "rock-solid" one?

hmmm... looks like 96.89 is out. not even on nvidia site yet. lemme try that:-)

Been using 91.47, dated 11/08/2006, for well over a month now without any problems. I understand there's another 91.47 version out with a later date but I'm not sure how that works without it having a different version number. Paul Croft15 miles north of EGKK

I use 92.91.

i also use 92.91 Very stable and got a little improvement in fps over 91.47you can get them at http://www.guru3d.com

thank you, gentlemen. i saw 96 on guru3d today, released yesterday. will try them for a few days since at this point there's not much i could ruin anyway. if i'm still running flaky i'll try 92. thanks again

Very pleased with teh 91.47's. Running on 2 7800 gtx's. Tried them all and this one works the best for meRegardsBob Ginn

I'm using this one : nvodngov19147-Guru3D.com It's been working fine for me. The biggest thing with the drivers is going thru the correct steps to remove and replace. The drivers will most likley be machine specific in many cases so it does take some experimentation. Craig

I think nVidia has got to get their act together.

>I think nVidia has got to get their act together. You think?? :(Anyway im using the XTreme-G 96.89's with AA at 16x and TAA at SS setting. Must say im getting overall good performance

>I think nVidia has got to get their act together. Huh? The drivers referred to as being from Guru3d are (probably deliberately) leaked. Nothing to do with Nvidia having to get their act together. Experienced users can choose whether to download them and therefore take part in a mass beta test before drivers are released to the masses, the vast majority of which have little PC knowledge and for who a driver installation going wrong could mean no end of problems.

Paul, if you dont think Nvida has to get their act together reffering to their drivers you must be a lucky person who has never had shimmer in fs9..ATI has its issues too but Nvid hasnt done anything since the release of the 6/7 series to reduce that.
