i was at frys today helping my dad with some stuff, and decided to browse by the graphics cards... and there she was. About a stack of 15+ BFG RETAIL 6800gt brand new. I almost cried when i saw them.

Anyways, she's in my pc right now and before i install drivers i was wondering which ones i should use?

Thanks guys =)

its so beautiful!!

I'm tempted to reinstall windows.... just so i can make sure i have everything wiped clean.

Not sure if its running exactly how it should (about 11k in 03). It chopped a bit in farcry in certain spots and had a glitch. The glitch was something wrong with the ground... it was black in certain areas, and then it moved with me... really weird.

I really havnt had a chance to "play" yet =)

Yes I had these problems too. The drivers it came with are likely beta's. Get the 61.72 WHQL drivers. They are either on bfgtech.com or you can use evga.com's site to download the WHQL drivers.

is downloading the drivers directly from nvidia a bad idea? I'm picking up a 6800 soon myself.

They are still using 56.72 drivers on Nvidia's site.

ahhh ok. I was wondering for a second if the manufacturers of cards with nvidia gpus made changes to the drivers to fit their cards better or something.

As soon as these can be had for 250~275 I'm making the switch from ATi back to Nvidia. Best bang for the buck for sure.
