Nvidia drivers

I'm currently using the 191.07 drivers under Win 7 with no problems. I didn't really see any noticable performance increase going up from the 186.xx drivers though. Don't go with the most recent two sets of drivers, they definitely cause some issues with CoH.

Ah, well that is useful info, thanks Dark. So the 195.62 and 196.21 drivers have known issues with CoH?

I suppose some could experience issues. I however haven't as of yet with the 195.62 drivers. I haven't updated my drivers yet because I haven't found the time. I almost always use the absolute latest drivers unless there's a glaring issue. No issues here.

We'll see....
I've been running 196.21 since they came out. Running Windows 7, GTX 260 at 1920x1080, and have not had any problems.
There have been several reports of problems with the game from the 186.xx series of drivers.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.

I can attest to this as well. (With the exception of the 1920x1080 resolution. 1680x1050 here, as my maximum resolution above that makes my images appear blurred and thinned.)

Was able to find time to uninstall with Driver Sweeper, reinstall, reset control panel and run a 3D'06 bench as well as a controlled in-game fps test on all drivers up to the current 196.21. The 195.62 was in-fact unstable for my system and locked up on more than one occasion. Didn't matter though, the 196.21 gave a noticeable boost of 5-10 fps in game and a slightly higher 3D'06 score.
Kind of a lame question, showing my laziness perhaps. But, just wondering if anybody can say they saw a significant or even moderate increase in performance from the 186.18 driver. That is how far behind I am on driver updates. I always try the new drivers and run benchmarks to determine if they are better for my set up or not. But, now that I am about 4 drivers behind, that represents a bit of a time issue to uninstall, reset the control panel, run the bench marks, repeat etc.
For comparison to your rig, I have an older C2D 6600, 4 gig G.Skill 1066, evga 9800 GTX+, Vista Home 64 bit, running at 1680x1050. Thanks.
