it varies from person to person, theres no 'absolute' best drivers for a 7xxx card. perhaps you should try them out for yourself and see whats best.

Hello,

Go with the 92.91 version any modded or the version from nVidia.
The very best driver written for 7XXX series IMO and I am sure lots of folks would agree.

91.31 are alright, pushed my score up in 3dmark 06 by a bit

pretty much any new drivers are good, and a good old reliable one is 84.21

The Z tweaked 91.47's are the best for my card. They are awesome, even the generic 91.47's work amazing.

I have tried alot of drivers and the Z tweaked 91.47's offered me the best performance.
