I would start by saying that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but sometimes the newest driver can increase the performance of your video card. With nVidia products, the latest reference drivers from the nVidia web site are the best to use. The drivers that come with the card are usually a couple of versions behind if not more.

In my experience with nVidia cards and drivers, you should uninstall the old drivers completely before installing the new ones. Just make sure you already have the installer for the new software downloaded before you do this (it's really hard browsing the web at 640x480 and 16 colors when you have to use the generic Windows video driver.);)

Let us know how it turns out.

I usually download the latest drivers from Nvidia - disregarding the brand of the card, with the condition there is a Nvidia chipset aboard.

Within the driver i disable the vertical sync - it is said it can give inventor up to 30% more grafical performance

I have the same card and I noticed that AutoCad 2007 prompts for
a driver update. Go to the nvidia website and install the latest driver.

I have 8.4.2.6, if that means anything.

There may even be an upgrade over what I have installed.
