Good drivers for Nvidia 6800GT?

[Accipiter22]

Alright,

So i've heard a lot about the Omega drivers, so i decided to give them a try, instead of nvidia's default drivers. For the omega installation I selected the performance option, instead of quality. I was curious about how overclocking my processor would affect my 3dmark scores, so I made a chart at different overclock percentages. the video card itself was overclocked at 418/1.13 for all trials. I then decided to try Nvidia's drivers, just to see how they'd compare, and I was rather shocked. they kicked the tar out of the omega drivers. Also, look at my score for 3% overclocking with nvidia drivers...i actually scored much higher than i did at 7% overclocking with nvidia's. So my question is, does anyone know of drivers out there for the 6800GT that are 'better' for performance than Nvidia's own, or should I just stick with nvidia?

you should try the valance studios xtreme G drivers from tweaks R us.

they improve IQ and performance and are generally just the best you can get
