Just wondering what you all find to be the best Nvidia drivers for fsx or fs9.. The current ones or older set. I usually get mine from guru. I have a 9800 gt if it matters.

Your card should work well with drivers 174.74 or 182.50.
Unless something new has popped up in the last three months that I haven't heard about.

...I'll tell you what...

When it comes to my nVidia drivers, I invariably have problems with some/most of the latest versions, (artefacts, random graphic crashes, lock-ups, etc),with the result that I always un-install them, and revert back to my Trusty Drivers which were supplied on the CD which came with my Card when it was new... :-*...!

Latest is not always the best!... ;)... ;)...!

The newest drivers are not always the best for FSX & FS9. That being said I always get the newest drivers because they are generally the stablest, and give the best performance across all programs, have the most optimizations, have the most bug fixes, and features.
