I'm using 7.17 here.
Someone told it needs DX8 but looks like it works just fine with Dx7a  

Some sources say 7.17 isn't too good driver for OpenGL games but AH runs just fine.

Geforce owners should see a significant increase in performance if using the 6.xx drivers rather than the new 7.xx drivers even in Directx 8.  This has been stated on numerous Geforce websites. I tried 7.17 and went from 60fps to 49fps.

Just watchout for fake drivers.
I heard that 7.23 is a fake, so keep that one out of your machine.

Jihad, can you quantify better fps? Was it a significant or marginal increase?
