Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Nvidia drivers (Older version)

I don't see how using really old drivers will help your performance, assuming they're even compatible. Here they are if you really want:

nvidia 169.12-4
nvidia 173.14.09-5

Re: Nvidia drivers (Older version)

I'm pretty sure that creslin is right about the 173.14.09 drivers not working with the newer kernels. I tried to compile them the other day to fix an issue introduced in the 177.xx series of drivers for my card and they wouldn't build.
