Default Best drivers for 7900GT?

Thread title is pretty self-explanatory. Any suggestions?

I hear good things about the Omega drivers, but too me, they just look like a mash-up of a driver. I've never really used them, so I just stick with nvidia's drivers, they have worked great so far.

Here's a link to the Omega driver's page

I was running the 82.41s for a while with my 7600 and seemed to have some nice improvements as far as the dual core and what not. I havent tried the new non WHQL certified drivers yet.

Would the above statement (82.41s) apply to 7900GTXs as well?

I guess this is all a moot point until I get my replacement card. This first one had to be RMAed due to a faulty DVI connector (only one of them) that I found out was causing the color problem I was experiencing.
I should have mentioned though that WHQL certified is NOT as important to me as it is to Futuremark (I don't plan on topping the ORB anyway.... I don't have enough money for that) so Omega drivers might work fine. Just didn't know if there might be some better out there.

If you haven't allready try the z-tweaked drivers, they are what I've been using with my 7900gt.

Godfoot, through scanning multiple forums, it would appear that most people are getting their best scores with either the 91.31 XG set or the 91.45 XG set.

Give those a try compared to whatever you're using now and let us know

If you have an overclock on your GPU or mem, don't forget to set them after installing the new drivers before running any benchs.

Yeah, I'd recommened X-Treme G drivers. These guys certainly know how to tweak drivers and their laptop-only ones are sweet.
