Best Geforce 2 GTS 32MB?

[sergeremi]

Anyone care to recommend the best card?

CL GTS here and it's very good with retail box drivers...give it a shot.

I'd like to know which is the most overclockable...any ideas?

They're all pretty much the same, performance wise, pricing wise, and overclocking wise.

Creative labs make solid drivers,they don`t get updated that often but do get alot of testing, so if you are not going to use Nvidia reference drivers,go for CL Geforce2 GTS.

Lol, I thought everyone used the Nvidia ref. drivers? (can you tell I've only ever used 3dfx stuff in the past? 😉)

 

[Mem]

Snow patrol,I`ve never used Nvidia drivers,why? never had problems with CL drivers.

 

[snow patrol]

Oh...it's just all the review sites seem to use the reference drivers. I presumed the performance would be better, but of course I could be wrong.

LOL Mem, just because they dont have any problems doesnt mean that they're the best. The nVidia ones are much more recent, they get updated much more often, and usually they have the best performance. I believe the OEM drivers are suppose to work without problems, sure thing if you dont care about performance and stuff. Its just seems logical to use the reference drivers, 'cause every manufacturer is using reference design, who knows their product better than nVidia themselves?

LXi, I did say they don`t get updated often,second I never said CL drivers were the best " solid drivers is what I said" ,just so far they have been very stable on my PC,I may try Nvidia drivers one day probably in my next card.

 

[LXi]

It makes sense to use them if they're the fastest and they provide the most features. But CL drivers in my experience is none of that. I think the best bet for all nVidia users is still the reference drivers, they cause the least problems, and they usually just as stable as CL's.

Most manufacturer drivers are slightly modified reference drivers. The reference drivers offer better performance and really good stablility. As for best GTS, the Creative Labs card is probably best price/performance.
