All I have played since installing these drivers is BF2, but it's doing swimmingly. Runs much faster than the XG 77.62 I was using before.

Thanks that is what I will try after I use driver cleaner to remove ATI catalyst driver's. Hopefully I won't encounter any conflicts.

For what its worth...
I have been using the drivers that i installed when i built the puter in Nov
Last week I installed the :7772 drivers
I was not happy with the fps and discussed it with a BFG rep and he suggested that i do a cleansweep and install the drivers that come with the BF2 game, he said they are made by Nvida and would work well
Performance is probably minimumal but they were developed with the game in mind
I did tweak the options menu in bf2 tho to meet my demands for quality (the game stretches the 6800 ultra when it hits peak "demand")

XG 77.62 Type2 is the best driver overall. 77.72 seems buggy and performs less in most games.
