Default Best "optimized" drivers for 9600GT?

Omega Drivers etc.

I'm looking for a driver that will work under XP 64bit, specifically with my 9600GT.

I've heard that the 190.xx releases have micro-stuttering issues and I'm getting less than awesome performance. Given I'm making the card work at 1920x1080, but still.

Edit. Risen is playing alright at max settings etc. I'm just curious if I can get more from different drivers

If no "other" drivers are available, are any particular nVidia releases recommended over others?

The new 191.xx seem to be doing better then the 190.xx drivers. The only thing I've noticed from Omega drivers is the fact that all they do is default high performance level and turn on some optimizations. Things I can easily do myself after installing a WHQL driver from nVidia.

I changed my memory timings (which I thought were correct) from 5/7/7/24 to the proper 5/5/5/18 and this helped performance QUITE a bit. N00b mistake.
