Latest drivers for a 6800gs

[Zenxzen]

I just ordered a Nvidia AGP 4x/8x 6800gs card and was wondering if the drivers with the card or Nvidia latest drivers are best. Thanks for the help.

I used the ones that came with the card and so far no problems. BTW the ones that come with it are the latest drivers.....for now...and when the new ones come out I will try them and if they work okay then all is good, if not, back to the old till the next ones come out and so on, and so, on.

I always say if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it! Go for the drivers that come with the card and perhaps check out the list of changes for the new version of drivers. If there are some fixes for games you play then install the latest.

You should almost always go with the latest driver from Nvidia's website. Usually the driver on the disk is old.

Thanks for the Info I will load the drives in the box and then check them against the latest driver number from Nvidia.

The latest nVidia drivers usually work best and include optimizations and bug fixes.

Keep the old drivers around just in case however.
