    Hello fellas. Just wondering what the best driver is for gaming on the m17x. I have read all the threads about drivers, however I don't know which to install. Also, I'm quite new to all this OC'ing and what not so I apologize in advance. I am trying to learn... very slowly.

    It seems to me that 186.24 is giving people problems on the install? Is this driver geared more towards benchmarks rather than actual gaming?
