Default Which Drivers Are The BEST For Nvidia Cards?

Which ones are the best?

the drivers i downloaded are the 186.18 and the Xtreme-G 190.62

is the 186.18 better than the Xtreme-G's?

and i heard ALOT about the 186.18's that they are the BEST drivers out there...its like the golden driver for Nvidia GPUs

And BTW i heard the latest Drivers basiclly help Folding performance and some games too but really i dont notice a different and people say it sucks...

which are the best?

I usually use the latest drivers, but with the most recent ones I can't see what temperature my card is running at.

I tried the 19X.XX's and reverted back to the 186.18's.

I run G92's

This goes without saying but
1. If you can't afford to lose it don't mod or OC it.
2. At least read the OP before commenting.

Psh. Drivers? You noob. nVidia cards don't NEED drivers. They kick enough ass on their own.


That said, I really wouldn't recommend modded drivers.

Run the unistall first, then reboot and install 186.

Boot into safe mode, run driver sweeper. Then load the 186 drivers.


That being said, I'm still running the 190.38 drivers and I haven't had a problem yet with them.
