Q. What Windows NT 4 drivers should I use?
There are a number of driver sets that you can use:

Firstly, there are manufacturer driver sets. These driver sets are usually based on the NVIDIA reference
drivers with customised control panels and possibly more options. However they are likely to not be as
up to date as the NVIDIA reference drivers. You will have to visit your manufacturer's website to find
out about the drivers that they supply and what additional features they may offer.

Secondly, there are NVIDIA's reference drivers.
There are generally a few versions available: one (or two) official versions and some leaked versions that
are not officially supported but may be faster or have more features than the official drivers (and may
also be slower and have less features).
Note that many of the notes for the drivers in the '
What Windows 9x/ME drivers should I use?' question
also apply to these drivers.
