    Hey guys,
    I got my Asus C90s only a little while ago and I installed 169.21 as my first driver. Worked quite well, no complaints here. However, I noticed my card wouldn't overclock worth **** lol. I can't say it more plain than that. I'm not going to complain about my memory, seeing as its DDR2, but my core couldn't go past 525! I remembered in the shower tonight that drivers affect how well your card will overclock...so after some denominating I went with 169.04. I'm now running 550 on the core, not artifacting or nothing. Call of Duty 4 is even running beautifully. Anyone have any comments on the performance or overclock-ablity of .04? What about .09? I heard that these 2 drivers are very closely related.

    From what I hear .04 is the most stable of the recently release drivers. I'm actually thinking about taking a step back to .04. =/

    So you've been able to OC with 169.21? I can't get a driver to OC my 8600GT.

    I can overclock with EVERY driver from the 169.xx series...
    On this moment I'm running the 169.21 and it works great
