    What drivers do you guys (and gals) use with your GeForce 7900-series cards? I currently use latest NVidia stock drivers, but wondering if there's something better...

    Yea I use the stock drivers to. There are better ones at tweaks r Us. I wanted to try one of those but I have no clue how to delete the stock drivers that I got from the nvidia site. Already tried looking in control panel, its not there.

    I tried twearkRus drivers. I got an error saying that the installer failed to find a supported card.

    Btw all you have to do to uninstall drivers is uninstall nVidia drivers from Add/Remove programs and reboot.

    are u sure? Doesnt that delete all the drivers or does it only delete the video drivers? I tried this and the screen resoluton went to like 800x600. I thought I messed my notebook up. So I did a system restore. At tweaks r Us u have to pick the mobility version ones.

    I noticed that the tweaked drivers can act a little buggy sometimes, so I stick with nvidia stock ussually.

    2 woozie: when you remove video drivers and reboot your resolution will change because windows will not have the driver anymore (and will be using Windows' standard vga driver). At that point you need to install new driver and all should be good.

    The laptopvideo2go drivers are the normal drives just have a tweaked inf to support the 7900GS. Stable as can be for me :D Plus gave me a 300 point boost in 3DMark05
