Which drivers - Nvidia or Leadtek for a GTS250?

[Hogrod]

I've got Leadtek gts 250. Unfortunately there are no win 7 32bit drivers (only XP) for it on their website. Should I therefore download drivers from the Nvidia website (where there is win7) or can I only use the drivers available via Leadtek website for this card?

If im not mistaken the drivers on the Nvidia site are the same as the ones on Leadtek's site. Ive got a XFX 8800 GTs 512 and Ive neva download from XFX only Nvidia

Thanks, I've got issues with the leadtek drivers as windows crashes when I log in. I get white wavy lines down the screen just before it crashes. I don't know whats wrong so I'm hoping it's the drivers!

I dont know much about Leadtek but if you buy a new card i recomend buying Asus, XFX, EVGA, Gigabyte or MSI. Thats the brands that I personally trust and there are also lots more.

Always use the GPU manufacturer's driver rather than the card manufacturer's. Sure, there might be a few novel settings in the manufacturer's version, but generally the GPU manufacturer's drivers are the most recent and stable.
