I am currently using the 29.80's and have not had any problems. The 29.42's didn't like my system, caused XP to get BSOD and other errors. Since the 29.80's rock solid.

I'm using the 29.80's also and haven't had a problem. They are suppose to be releasing the 30.XX's in a week or two(so I heard) and are suppose to increase performance %10. I am pretty excited to see if these drivers actually perform liek they're suppose to.

I just switched to the 29.80's and it seem's fine. I actually played around with the setting's a little more than I usually do and everything look's good. Seem's very vibrant. Might have something set too high, but I'll wait to see how I like it after a day or so.

My best friend just had twin girls and it cost him a fortune.....Not to mention he has to buy all baby stuff x 2
His video card just broke and I lent him my 8500 (although I overclocked his CPU for him, he is against Overclocking a video card....So he wont be keeping the Silversink modded 8500
Its just a loaner till he gets a new card....Like a stock 8500
PS Keyboard Cowboy expressed interest in the card even before I had a replacment, but If Keyboard Cowboy doesnt buy the card I will put it up for sale cheap.
PS Thanks for the Driver info People, I've been out of the Nvidia loop for some time
Also is anyone still using Nvmax these days?

2842 they've been stable and I'm waiting before I start benchmarking again. Having too much fun playing Neverwinter Nights single player and RTCW multiplayer.

NVmax had a final release a couple of months ago. A guy has kept it going though. He used to post on www.nvnews.net about it to have some feedback. If i find a link, ill pm it to you... As for me, i use RivaTuner, i find it has more of a power user feel to it, great utility.

I'm using 29.80 too. No problems with me. But I think they're WHQL, not beta.
