Would someone mind telling me what drivers I should be getting please as I just formated and have to get everything again. My rig is my sig.

Also some directions on installing and removing the old ones. This is my first format and installation of everything.

Thanks all!

Might want to give the 91.33's a try,

instead of the 91.31. Biggest difference bewteen the two is that the 91.33's don't have the SLI warning and systray icon bugs. The SLI bug is where you get popups telling you that SLI has been disabled (only happened to non-SLI users, not all but enough). The systray bug is where no matter how many times you uncheck to use the Nvidia tray icon (for those that don't use it that is), it keeps coming back.

Cool thanks guys, what about my video card?

Where do I find my old drivers? I just use add remove programs yes?

So I'm dowloading first, then locate and delete old drivers install the new ones and then I'm good to go correct?

I know it's simple but I just don't want to screw up and have to start over.

cheers

I found the 91 series pretty bad for BF2, definite performance drop from 84.21, so I'm staying on those for now.

Re: nVidia Drivers

What problems specifically did you find? Was it your motherboard drivers or vid card?

Big drop in performance, both on my system (7800 GTX 512 SLI) and on other peoples (FX5950).

I didn't notice a drop, but whatever...

And you shouldn't have to delete any drivers to install these ones since ou just reformatted.

Re: nVidia Drivers

i have no problems using the 91.31 driver.

and yes, since you just did a clean reformating, you dont need to remove anything, just instal the new one.
