    Showtime, my rig is nearly identical to yours, and I run 174.90. Not the newest and shiniest driver around, but it seems to run Oblivion and Fallout 3 pretty good. FPS anywhere from 20-60. depending on background and action.

    I still use 178.13 love it.

    high frame rates, excellent IQ, stable as a rock. and 10'C lower temps than previous drivers.
