I usually use the nvidia reference drivers. I used to use all the fancy beta drivers, back when I had a GF3 Ti200 and a GF1DDR, but it just wasn't worth the hassle of installing and reinstalling drivers to find one that worked with everything I needed it to.

I actually scored significantly higher on 3DMark03 using the 66.20 drivers (over 1500 higher). I found them at guru3d.com. They seemed stable when I used them, but I went with the 61.77 drivers when I refomatted a few weeks ago. They've been 100% stable.

The 6177 drivers aren't the fastest but they're 100% stable. The beta drivers have some nasty crash bugs in Unreal 2 based games.

To be honest I won't even be bothering with beta drivers in the future.

When is Nvidia going to release the next revision of their drivers? The 61.77s have been out for a while now.

I use the beta 66.32 drivers. They work great and are very fast.
Beware though if you have an AMD 64, service pack 2 and play UT 2004. It will crash your system if you have Data Execution Prevention (DEP) enabled.
