Has anyone with a geforce fx card played with the best drivers for T:V?

im currently getting rather horrible fps on low settings and trying to do all i can to fix... (5900xt @ nearly 5900u speeds)

I think the new 66.93 drivers work the best for me. I got a 6800 GT and it gave me lots of stuttering on any setting, but the 66.93's all but reduce the stuttering to a minimum.

I went ahead and checked out those links and installed the rivatuner or w/e its called and clicked those two options. Made my TV run smoother and looks less jumpy. It already ran nice, but its even better now.

I have GF FX 5900se/xt vid card
Gig of ram, A MSI K8N Neo mobo
AMD 64 2800
80Gig HD

I dont know all the specifics about my system, im a noob when it comes to that stuff.


Ok EDIT: For some reason after doing that my TV crashes when loading maps giving me an error. I dont know if i accidentally screwed something up accidentally when using riva, but i unchecked those two tabs w/e and im still crashing.

This is the error i get now
CreateTexture failed(D3DERR_INVALIDCALL ).

History: FD3DTexture::Cache <- FD3DRenderInterface::Cach eTexture <- SetBumpMaterial <- FD3DRenderInterface::SetS haderMaterial <- FD3DRenderInterface::SetM aterialSP <- RenderStaticMesh <- FDynamicActor::Render [DynTurretPannel2] <- RenderSolidScenePass <- RenderSolidScenePasses <- RenderLevel <- FLevelSceneNode::Render <- FPlayerSceneNode::Render <- PrecacheRenderData <- UGameEngine::Draw <- UWindowsViewport::Repaint <- UWindowsClient::Tick <- ClientTick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

Any ideas?
