I just bought a BFG 6800 GT OC 256MB card from a guy over at hardocp for $330. I was wondering what are the best drivers to use for this card? I want drivers with the shimmering bug fixed.

The 67.03's have the shimmering fixed in pretty much.
They work best with my BFG and rig combo.

67.02 here, same as the 67.03s except that they don't have the SIS fix for the 6600GT.

Use 67.02 or 67.03 drivers
Under advanced Performance and IQ options, set Negative LOD Bias to Clamp
Set quality slider to High Quality

this will minimize shimmering.

67.02 fixed the shimmering for me, so I jump on the "recommended driver" bandwagon.

Same here, I would start with these.

guys, how do you describe this graphics bug? (white lines between polygons)

Ditto with the 67.02/3
Fixed shimmering in most of my playlist except for GTA Vice City.

Zeero, I "believe" that all the Forceware 66+ have white lines. I think the 65.73's were the last set to not have this issue, but I could be wrong. Just got off work, so im too lazy to do a search for you :)

Do you mean the lines just below the tunnel exit?

I only saw white lines with AA enabled. Try turning off AA and bump up the resolution instead.
