the newest drivers are usually pretty good, but sometimes you can find better ones for your system. you just have to try them.

as for overclocking, you can do the coolbits hack and enable an overclocking tool in the Nvidia drivers(as long as you aren't using WHQL certified drivers). otherwise, Powerstrip is pretty good and some folks like Rivatuner.

yes i know the programs , but how could i get the max out of my card , because macci etc score almost 9k , and i 7,5 k with more cpu power ,

[Nebulous]

Not sure. All i can say is try it and see what you get. Not evrybody's results are the same.

you need more clocks to get more 3Dmarks ... somehow I doubt you're running the core past 600 and the mem past 1 GHz

i am trying to get more out of it
