    165.19 seems the best for details and performance at 2.x or 3 shader model, but 177.66 seems to allow the best overall experience for me at 2.0 shaders and seemingly no client crashes. (2.x or 3 shader has a performance hit)

    Note this was before the patch thursday.

    It's not so much the drivers having issues. It's Funcom having issues.

    177.35 has been the best for me. 177.66 seems good too for what I've seen until now.
