    To everyone who plays games on their 8600M GT (I'd assume everyone), where are you getting your drivers? I'm still using an old tweakforce 163.67 driver which is really outdated, but when I updated to 169.09 it ran TF2 horribly (the framerate would jump between 30 and 60 repeatedly and would cause massive stuttering). What's a good driver for this card right now?

    EDIT: Vista 32 bit

    I'm using 167.58 for Vista x86 from laptopvideo2go.com after trying the 169 and 174 series. It gives me the best performance when I play TF2 and Bioshock. Might not be the same for you since my 8600M is the GDDR3 version.
