The thread title pretty much speaks for itself, I would like to know, in general opinion, what are the best NForce drivers for benchmarking in 3DMark 01?

I have found that older drivers work better for 3dmark2001se and newer drivers work better for 3dmark2003.

Sorry, I guess I did not make myself clear . I was actually talking about chipset drivers for the NForce2. I have found my sweet spot for now with the 40.72 WHQL's

The thing is, I beat my average FPS on nature with my old motherboard, I could only get 13417 on my 8K3A and an average of 86.6 on nature and now, with a score of 15111 I average 86.2 fps.

I can't vouch for them personally but I've been hearing about Omega (tweaked) nVidia drivers that improve performance.
