Question what is the best Nvidia driver for these games ?

hi...

at the moment. I am playing Devil May Cry 4, ( and I am at the 9th mession )

and on the other hand... I am on the latest Nvidia driver which is 191.07, the game is running not bad, but as I already saw that my Vista x64 system score didn't increase any after the 182, and 186 Nvidia drivers, do you think if I roll back to those drivers I would can play this game better?

I have 3 games laying around, that are still sealed in their packages even, and not yet installed, which are Call of Duty, Need For Speed shift, and Resident Evil 5, so what do you recommend from drivers ???

thanx

I recommend 186.18 and definitely nothing prior to that based on experiences with my 8800GT.

The newest drivers (191.07) are supposed to increase performance in alot of newer games. Give them a try.
