    I am overclocking my dell vostro´s 8600M Gt 256mb Gddr2 card right now usin the 169.04 drivers and a GPU clock of 600 and a memory clock of just 450


    So I was wondering if I could/should use newer drivers like the 179.13 ones, and if I could still overclock with these.

    What drivers are you guys using in your 8600M gt (Gddr2 version) ?
    And would drivers would you recommend?


    thanks for your help~

    175.80 was the last version I used, I scored 4210 in 3dMark06 on my Vostro 1500 at 600/500. I was able to get higher clocks with 174.74 but 175.80 ran cooler and gave me better performance per-clock.
