    Try a couple of different ones to see which are stable and preform the best for you. Its according to what you do and what games you play and if you need things like physX or CUDA. Alot can go into choosing a GPU driver.

    Here recently i've used 185.80, 186.03, and the new 190 driver (cant remember its .xx number)

    They were all pretty good. I used 186.03 ro benchmark with and i ended up breaking 11.1K with my 6860. Havent really found a more powerful benchmarking driver yet (though i havent tried all of them) but i'm currently using the 190 driver; its a decent driver, but i really havent put it through the paces yet to see what its capable of.
