Graphics Card Advice

I have a question and thought I would pose it here rather than making a new thread~

I am going to upgrade my card from an Nvidia GTS GeForce 240 to a GTX560 (this exact card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130660 )

For those of you using a GTX560, what driver are you using that works well with ARR Beta/Benchmark? I just want to be prepared. In the past I know Nvidia drivers have been an issue for XIV, maybe not so much anymore, but would like to have all my ducks in a row. Thanks!

While i don't own this particular card, its usually best to download the latest driver and work backwards if you run into issues. Driver issues are tricky in that some issues might not apply to every card using a specific chip or some issues might be the result of other things in the PC. Its best not to base your decision on someone else experience; go with the latest drivers and if you run into an issue, then try to find a solution for that particular issue.

If you don't mind me asking, how much are you planning on spending on the card? i noticed newegg has it listed as discontinued.

Long story short, it's the card my 16 year old son used since March of last year. In November he did an entire high spec rebuild from scratch. He initially used this card, but I decided I wanted it to use in my computer and bought him a 680 to put in his. It's plenty for my computer and the 680 is much more appropriate for the space shuttle he built. No, I will not adopt you!

EDIT: I think when purchased it was $189'ish btw
