    Well I've upgraded to vista ultimate (and its epic as hell, besides my query that follows :D), and I would just like to know if there is a better driver for me here other than the stock? I ended up getting a 9546 in 3DMark, and I want over 10000 (I had 10653 with some tweaked ones in xp with no OCing). Who-here-has-had-the-best-experience-with-8800m-gtx-drivers-and-what-drivers-are-they is basically what I'm asking.

    Thx

    Try the new 175.95 drivers from Sager's site. I'm going to give them a try myself, when I get home tonight.
