Quote - Bopper, not all of the Nvidia driver sets are great. I always search around, mostly in the gaming forums and at EVGA's site to see what people are saying before grabbing a new video driver.
There have been some problematic releases in the past. Few and far between, but each new GPU model series has problems at first until they iron it all out.

Having said that, when you deny yourself new drivers, you also deny yourself updates to things like phys-x, CUDA, and most importantly, new OpenGL releases which are part of the driver revision.
Currently, OpenGL is up to version 3.1

I don't know, but there may be an advantage to be gained in having the latest OpenGL with Poser 8, especially since they're working on the SR right now, and may be using the latest OpenGL too.
Since they advise everyone to use the latest drivers, there may be a good reason for that.

Having the latest release of opengl isn't going to do you much good if your vid card doesnt support it. 

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.

If you can't eat it or play with it,

just pee on it and walk away. :-)
