Whatever driver you chose, see the "Removing old drivers" thread, there is a link to a utility that works great.
"My grandaddy always told me, "There are three things that'll put a good man down: Losin' a good woman, eatin' bad possum, or eatin' good possum."" - Holden McGroin

(and I still say he wasn't trying to spell possum!)

back when i still had my nvidea card i was always trying the newest drivers, but always went back to one of the 41 or 43's.
41 performed, 43 was more stable. just go through the hassle of removing and installing till you find one you like.
and massive frame drops may be ram issue; it was with me.(running gig of pc 2700 now and no problems with frames):p
