Any advantages XFX over Nvidia Drivers ?

[2dogs]

Hi,

I am hoping to get some feedback.

Are there any advantages in using XFX XP 175.16 drivers over Nvidia's XP 175.16 drivers?

XFX drivers are 73.05meg and Nvidia drivers are 37.09meg

Is it recommened by XFX that it's customers use the XFX drivers ?

And if so why?

Thanks. :-D

Im pretty sure theyre the same thing just one is compressed better but im probably wrong, the xfx driver may come with some added features such as programs or something. I go with the nvidia drivers with my xfx card.

Thanks bobletman , wonder what the features or programes are if that's what the differences are. Would be nice to know to avoid downloading , installing and tweaking a 73meg driver.

Driver size also seems to depend on whether they are specified for US or international versions of XP/Vista. The international ones are larger.

The drivers on the XFX page are the same as the ones on the nVidia page. The difference is that the ones on XFX are international version, but you can download the english only version on nvidia's webpage and it's just 38mb instead of 74mb.
