Hmm. The ones I'm using right now seem fine, so this may be a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

My experience is that it depends on what games you are running. Newer drivers do more for recent games, older games prefer the older driver sets. IL2 never ran better for me than on the 178 series drivers and I kept those for ages. It was when I started running newer games like RoF and Arma2 that I started to update.

These are the first set released from a new driver branch so I think I will let them develop them a bit first but I thought others may be interested
