    Hey all,

    I decided to update my drivers from default. Currently, what's the best version right now for the 8600m GT on Vista?

    Thanks, wasn't sure which version is still the best for the card. Half the time the newest ones end up sucking.

    Sorry odin243, I was gonna search but on dialup - search doesn't work out all that well..

    yup, like bigspin said, either .69's or .71's. the newer the better right now, except for the controversial 163.74 drivers, which some people found attractive and others didn't.
