Drivers?

Postby birdie » Sun Jan 09, 2005 11:36 pm

I am currently using the 66.72 beta drivers from guru3d.com for my video card (Geforce FX5200 128meg) and they work pretty good.  I noticed that there are new offical drivers the 66.93 from the Nvidia site.  My question is has anyone tried the new drivers with the 5200 and should I install them or stay with the ones I have.  The reason I ask is I can't seem to download the 66.72 drivers off the guru3d site right now and don't want to install the new ones and find out they aren't as good and can't install the old ones again.  Thank you.

66.93's are some of the best drivers made, some cards actually take a small performance hit with the later versions. I think they have gotten better again though, so I'd get Nvidia's newest release and stick with it.
