I'm currently playing COD2 so I'll prolly install them and see how it goes although I'm doing a restore point prior to installing because I had issues with the last driver update.

Unfortunately it seems that nVIDIA introduced some legacy game problems with all their 8x.xx drivers. I have yet to find a 8x.xx driver that will run Knights of the old republic. Performance wise they are on the right track.

The same thing happened way back in the day when they introduced the new "extreme performance upgrade drivers".... I think it was the 20 series. It broke Giants: Citizen Kabuto and several other games on the GeForce 3 (which was only a few months old). Giants was still less than a year old at that point. I don't know when they ever fixed it but I know for months I was had to finish the game on the older 12 series drivers.
