    hi,
    i went through all the threads to check what the best drivers right now are, but all of them aren't really updated.

    so does anyone know which ones are the best (no glitches/problems, best performance)

    i dont care about overclocking, i just want the best ones without overclocking.

    There will not be any "best driver." Just remember it system/card dependant. I have tryed the entire 167.45->Newest drivers, and am currently on 174.31. I found out of the 167s, .45 from Dell works the best. Overall, 174.31 has given the best non-oc benchmark as well as the best overall stability and power function. I like using the modded inf's even with drivers that are compatible with my system as they enable a bunch of extra features that are not normally used. Good luck on your path for the best driver.
