    General graphics card drivers question

    My new 8800GT came with a driver disk that specifically states they are drivers for the "8800 Series."

    At the Nvidia site, they are offering the latest drivers for the "8 series." Are these the drivers that I use to upgrade my card? Thanks
    Every little helps!

    Yes they are, unless there are some at your manufacturers own website.

    Re: General graphics card drivers question

    I would use the official drivers from Nvidia as they update them more often then the Manufacturers.
