Oh boy! Now another option added to the mix! There is the WHQL 6.62 drivers, the supposed speedier (LEAKED) 6.67, the DX specific (LEAKED) 7.17, and now an "official" NV 6.50 driver!!!???!!!

Just which one is the newest one, the more stable one, and the faster one? And if the 7 series is supposed to be made for DX8 - why are they still making the 6 series, and not releasing an "official" 7 series???

"There is the WHQL 6.62 drivers"

Good drivers.

"the supposed speedier (LEAKED) 6.67"

No speed increase over 6.67. Lose D3D if you run Q3 and then try to run D3D. Have to reboot.

"the DX specific (LEAKED) 7.17"

Crap compared to 6.62+

"and now an "official" NV 6.50 driver!!!???!!!"

Old drivers ( 12/4/2000) but straight from Nvidia. Supposedly has bug in coolbits where it adds on to to pre-exiting overclock. Haven't verified yet.

ugh i hated 6.67 they didnt even work with my monitor right. I changed the driver to my monitor and it still had resolutions not supported by it. I threw on 7.17 and it was fine. So im sticking with the 7.17 drivers since i really don't play games and they work fine for me.
