It seems like nvidia only improves crysis .. I still have lagging when I play NFSMW though .. Nonetheless it is an improvement since NFSMW kept crashing on 163.xx

cod 4 and WIC seem to be a bit smoother, more steady fps. with 163.12's it would dip in and out a bit on cod4, these drivers are pretty nice. Havent tried crysis yet, i pretty much shelved the game till i get a newer card.. i want to enjoy it more later down the road

Yeah, these are definetly more stable for my setup. I was having glitches with the beta drivers and this fixed them right up.

Has anyone tried NVidia's ForceWare v169.21 (Release Date: December 11, 2007)? http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21.html
Is it better than the 169.17?
yes.
Should I get the .21's or the .17's??

Good answer... "Yes" what? Good or bad?
I was answering the question "has anyone tried 169.21 and is it better than 169.17".
I answered "yes". How could anyone be confused by that, it's self explaining ?
