Acadia that isnt too bad ;)
my personal experience is that it makes sense to look for updated drivers for about 6 months. Then the grafic card vendors seem to forget about older grafic cards and all it does is produce problems.
I think i can call myself a gamer (sadly), and my credo is: If something causes problems dont update your drivers even if 99% of the users say: update your driver - instead downgrade them ... and i managed to run games that were called unplayable by 99% of other users with comparable hardware.
I dont want to say that an update CAN help in some cases, but i dont think they still improve a nvidia 5200fx for example ;)
