Hello, I currently have a XFX 7900gs XT @ 606/833 (hoping to get higher with voltmod and zalman v700 cu heatsink) and was wondering, what are the best nvidia drivers for my card?

Thanks

OK, so I got the latest NGO drivers (1.9291) and found decrease in performance over 91.47.

Test setup:
AMD Opty 146 @ 2.3ghz
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Mobo
XFX 7900gs XT @ 606/1666
250gb WD caviar HDD
Antec Truepower 650w PSU

Test
FEAR - Max Quality/Softshadows enabled/4x AA 16x AF/Vsync Off
HL2
3dMark 05

In FEAR, I got from average 62fps to 59fps and max from 144 to 137
In 3dmark 05, I lost 100 points (not bad) from 9366 to 9266
and HL2 didn't complete properly (for some reason, score didnt record!).

I take it the NGO drivers are technicaly semi out of date compared to the Nvidia based forceware? What drivers are the latest NGO based off of?

thanks.

Well since Rege turning off some nvidia tweaks/optimizations that drasticaly decreas Image Quality , they can be lil slower that standard , but that what NGO is about i think.
But the IQ is grooove babe

For you Question they are based on 92.91 like they name says mate.
