Default Best Nvidia drivers for Win7.
What are currently the best drivers for Windows7 at the moment?

I'm using the 190.62 at the moment and they seem to be working ok but i reckon the 186.18 are better.

I've heard good things about the 191 beta's. What are they like?

What do you recommend guys?

The 185 drivers gave me best FPS (only 3/4 though so no big deal), but the newer ones are better for folding, so I stick with them

The newest betas, in my opinion. I never liked the third party drivers...
