Hello, i have a question here, should i install the custom built MSI driver Forceware 178.42 or just install the standard Forceware 180.48 provided by Nvidia??
Which one is better for my MSI N9600GT T2D512 OC?? As i know MSI driver have custom feature such as D.O.T which can automatic overclock my GC..The 178.42 driver by MSI is the latest for my GC.. |

Here's what I did, my graphics card also has got custom driver. I downloaded and install the latest driver from nVidia. I downloaded and installed the latest version of RivaTuner and OC my card.

Is Nvidia driver have better texture quality and performance than MSI? |

Most of graphics card drivers are to iron out small bugs that may cause unable to save OC settings. |

I suggest u donwload from Nvidia website..
Because the driver have the latest whql certified from microsoft.. Sometimes,the card maker like MSI don't have whql certified in their driver. |

Get NVIDIA drivers since they have newer versions of driver. They provide fixes for games and also improved performance.
You can use optional software such as Rivatuner to overclock your GPU. It also comes with temperature monitoring. |
