I have done a fair amount of reading at various sites and have a few questions I hope to get straightened out. I am running the card with the stock bios and drivers provided with the card. Is there a bios flash I can do? I think I read that you could flash to NVIDIA's reference bios, but I am not sure. What drivers should I use? Should I stick with the ones that came with the card or get the Detonator drivers 6.18, .26, .27 or whatever they are up to know. I honestyly think I have done too much reading and not enough understanding and now I am completely confused. Please help me I am going out of my mind and my wife is laughing at me.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND flashing the BIOS on the card unless you are having a hardware compatibilty problems with the card in your system. BIOS updates typically are released to fix these type of issues, NOT to increase the performance of the card.

I would, however, install the nVidia Detonator drivers to see what happens to the cards performance. I use a Creative GeForce DDR and have always used nVidia's drivers, never bothered to install the Creative drivers. It seems to me that mfg drivers are always a couple of steps behind nVidia in terms of features and performance.
