Is this the proper video card driver from guru3d.com for my video card?

Hi, I have a NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 256 mb. Dell Inspiron 9300, 1 GB ram. Lol, I think only the video card is relavent. Hehe... Anyways here is the link, someone please visit it (totally safe, I'm sure you know that it is):
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1115

I'm asking this because whenever I play BF 2 on all high settings it jitters. Whenever I turn HIGH LIGHTING off, it stops jittering. So I'm thinking to update my drivers from guru 3d on the link above ^^^ please check it, and tell me if those are the correct drivers for my Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 256 mb.

Btw: Can someone please tell me what are the normal temperature you cpu is supposed to be, and your gpu is supposed to be? Greatly appriciated.

Not enough RAM would be my best guess. You do know BF2 has memory problems (dunno if they were fixed) and it uses up like 800MB or something nuts? High lighting isn't that big of a deal is it? If it is, then upgrade to 2GB of memory, simple as that.

This should work, but try to 80.40 driver. it's great! search the forums, there's instructions all over the place about where to find it.

80.40 stinks, dropped my BF2 rates by 30FPS...77.62 best in my opinion.

not for me, it uses 1.4Gigs of memory for me. with lighting on high, and 900 on medium.

I never use anything other than the approved drivers given by either Dell or nVidia. I don't trust 3rd party's, betas, etc. Never have, never will. The ones provided by Dell and nVidia work just fine for me.

well, problem solved then, with lighting on high his 1gb ram isnt enough to hold all the data, so his system has to keep passing data back and forth to the hdd, creating massive slowdown

solution: for running lighting on high, get at least 1.5 GB of ram

by the way, the memory problems were in 1.01, it was both a client and server side memory leak, but has been resolved in 1.02
