Usually whenever a new release comes out, but I usually wait a few days to install them to see if any issues crop up with them among other users. And I always read the release notes before installing the new drivers.

91.31's are actually better (according to Tweaksrus).

Usually always use the latest drivers, unless for some reason they cause problems or decrease performance significantly.

You should have put "I use the best (perf. and IQ) most current driver release", like how I use the 91.31's since there better than the 91.33's.

Or how the 84.37's were better than the 84.56's.

I update the drivers if it is necessary (improve fps on games or fix issues on games that I like alot)

Ussually a day or two after a new one comes out I'll update. The Cat 6.6's have been the best in awhile for me though.

Still using the 81.xx. Because I have to un-install and re-install so much stuff to update. Like, Pure Video, wdm, riva tuner.

Usually only when I reinstall Windows or change video cards. Otherwise I just keep running whatever I've installed since I've never had drivers just magically stop working.
