What NV drivers to use ?

[Bloefield]

I've got a 6600GT and I'm using the 66.93's from Nvidia's site with no problems but I wonder if I am missing out on anything.
I hear a lot of people using 7xx series. Are they faster, better?
I'm playing HL2, Far Cry, CODUO, Panikiler BOH etc and everything looks great compared to my old Ti4200.
3571 in 3dmark 05 by the way.
Just wondering if any newer drivers are significantly better.
Thanks,
Bloefield

the latest beta drivers on NZone is 67.03

there were some shader improvements in this version that helped HL2 and FarCry performance over 66.93

i dont know

NVIDIA doesn't have 71.24's listed anywhere on their site

so do the 71.24 work good? and you can use them with any vnidia card, correct? where can i get the 71.24 drivers?

I hear the 71.24 has a nasty bug with HL2 where the water turns urine yellow.

The driver that's been the most reliable and fast for me is the XtremeG 67.02 driver.

You can find it at: http://www.valancestudios.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=3

I'm not sure which is the best right now but i've been using the 71.20.

You can pick up beta drivers for download at Guru3D.

i just downloaded the 71.20c drivers, and they sucked. lots of lag and frame skips, rolled back to the official nvidia drivers and everything is back to normal. whew.
