What driver are you guys using for your Mac Pro? The 7300GT

I tried updating the drivers because the game performance is crap.
The new drivers won't recognize the graphics card.
I'm currently using the old
91.47_forceware_winxp64_english_whql.exe

I am running both Vista and XP on my mac pro and simply went to the nvidia website and downloaded the newest drivers and installed...

OK.. its not crap... not really... Its a solid dependable card that makes NO NOISE and is ideal for someone who isn't doing graphical intense projects.

I have used the Omega drivers a few times, especially on my ATI based PC's... I feel they work VERY well...

Have you ever used them on bootcamp? I might try them with my x1600, even though the normal drivers are doing fine.
