23.11 is NOT "way too old" - more importantly, they are very stable. Gotta have a GOOD reason to update drivers that ain't broke. Having said that, 28.32 appears to be stable.

Benchmarks are one thing - stability is another. You always stand a chance destabilizing things installing new drivers, make sure you have a path back just in case.

A vote for the good old 23.11s here. Glad they came with the card. Nice image at 100Hz refresh.

I lost stability with the new drivers so I had to roll back.
too bad  I was looking forward to a performance increase.

I noticed you're talking about new Nvidia drivers, but your wallpaper says ATI RADEON... What gives? ATI & Nvidia are like AMD & Intel... You can't be on the fence man... You've gotta choose one side or the other for goodness sake! j/k Nice wallpaper!

That's a little early to go back, dont ya think? Give it a while. The nv30 is just around the corner.
But on to my tirade... the latest nvid drivers have the worst mipmapping I have ever seen. This is absolutely wrong, they are trying to eek out a bit more performance at the expense of image qaulity. And this can also hurt game play greatly. For what, a stupid bench? I am starting to dislike nvid... |

I just updated to the 30.82 from 28.32, and W2k takes FOREVER to boot now. Of course, my machine usually runs 24/7, so I rarely reboot it, but when I did after I installed then new driver, I thought it was hung up. I was like "aww man, all I did was update a driver!" but it finally booted. It just took forever.
