Best Nvidia drivers for WoW visual quality?

[soccerballtux]

Wow sorry slipped and hit the enter button when typing the title.

Anyways.

What is the best version of drivers for WoW if I'm interested in the visual quality? I've been watching some of Jack's videos (Naxxramus the Movie to be exact) and I keep noticing how much nicer the lighting and effects look compared to my setup. From what I understand, the only difference that could be causing this would be the drivers (I've got everything turned up max except AF and AA).

So do any of you know which drivers I should be using? Perhaps some custom drivers tweaked just for WoW?

Thanks.

Honestly, I'd just use the latest drivers and up the AF. Could you link one of the videos? I'd like to compare them to what I play at (I play at 1600x1200 everything max and 4x AA).

Newest driver, crank up AF.

<= 6800GT

AF does nothing to change lighting, bloom, and shadow effects, which is precisely what looks so good to me in Jack's Naxxramus movie.

Not all of the checkboxes make things look better, here's a screenshot of my settings, are yours any different?

It must be magic then.

Exactly the same except for windowed and max'd and the AF. But in that screenshot the game looks just like mine--bland. The Naxxramus movie video looks much more lively...brighter, prettier colors. I know drivers make a difference as far as the color goes...I just don't know where to start. Googling has not been helpful.

Digital vibrance?

Disable optimizations in drivers?

That's the only thing I can think of, it's been a while since I've had an Nvidia card so it didn't occur to me at first.

Wow that's a great idea. I've just turned it on and that very well might be the gravy. I'm not sure yet. Thanks!
