hi all

well heres the story

i have slowly been sort of upgrading my old machine with new / old technology to stay with in my budget i.e im running an amd fx 57 sandeiago core clocks to 3.6Ghz and 4gb of ram & an old 6600gt 1gb factory overclocked graphics card that i have had for a few years now which has been running things fine like bf2 and 2142 on med settings at 1440 x900 res.

so on sunday i was walking through a locally computer chain shop, and noticed one of the staff talking a bout a special they had on one of their graphics cards. Turned out they had 5 8800GTS 320MB OC2 cards to sell at £167.99 and i could'nt resist.

so plugged it in last night after rearranging my computers internals to fit the thing :D bf2 and 2142 run on max settings now at a res of 1440 x 900 fine, although i could do with some new drivers as i only have the ones from the box.

so where can i find new drivers for the card?


and also after reading the posts on here today it looks as though people say 8800gts 320mb is not man enough for running 1440 x 900 is this correct?
 
You get the latest drivers form Nvidia.co.uk.

As for the 320 and high res, the 640mb version would be a lot better over 1280 but the 320 is still a darn good card.
