Hi all,

I just bought Bioshock, and I'm curious as to which drivers have been working best for everyone. Mostly I've been looking at the 163.67 and 163.69 drivers (these drivers apparently fixed a memory management issue with the 8800 series and 8800gts 320mb card in particular). I've heard some good things about the 163.44s too, but they wouldn't include the memory management fixes. I've been reading about some general instability (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1225397)with the 163.71 drivers, but I haven't tried them first hand.

I'll probably give the 163.69s a shot later on, but I thought I'd ask the guys who know best first.

System specifications:

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6600
Video: 8800GTS 320MB
Mainboard: Intel D975XBX2
RAM: 2GB DDR2
Soundcard: X-Fi ExtremeMusic
Windows XP Pro 32-bit w/Latest updates and DirectX (Aug 2007)

Nvidia's timing is perfect. :) Good catch, Krait. Thank you. I'll give these a try.
