    Hello!

    I've been reading many "what-driver-to-use?-threads"... am I misunderstanding or do the driver differ that much so you basicly should install a sertain driver for a sertain game? Like for example bioshock, the 163.44 driver?
    I do play WoW, UT3 and C&C3. Considering getting CoD4 or MoH:A.

    So... isn't there a "GOOD" driver that works as good as 163.44 is said to be for Bioshock but for all games? :confused:

    in general, the trend is that the newer the driver, the better.

    sometimes new drivers will cause performance loss or introduce new bugs in certain games. but generally, the newest are the best.

    Just use 169.12 once it is available.

    is there a noticeable difference between 169.44 and 169.12?
