8800 OC Nvidia drivers

[gamesreviewer]

Hi,
was wondering whether on the OC models of the 8800 GTX cards, if you intstall the nvidia drivers rather than the BFG drivers if you have to manually set the overclock or if it knows it's an overclocked card.

thanks

It runs at those overclocked speeds regardless of what drivers you use.

The overclock is actually set using the video card BIOS, so will remain the same regardless of driver.

wicked, much better than i expected. Thanks for your help. I'm really tempted to pop to the shop tomorrow and upgrade my whole system. No doubt as soon as I order the prices of the GTX will drop by 50-60 quid but I've waiting for too long now. my 6800GT is really struggling, esp at 1920 res.

That will be an absolutely amazing upgrade from your 6800.
