Just newest vid drivers off nvidia's site will be fine... you can do some manual Overclocking using Ntune but make sure you know what your doing and just make sure the card is getting plenty of air.

on a side note the 7950's are a waste of money.. I would suggest looking at selling it off for as much as you can get and bump up to a 8series card which there will be more of those released in a few weeks beyond the 8800GTX and GTS's... some cheaper cards none the less with DX10 vs DX9 on that card you have.

the 8800's are out... GTX and GTS cards.. now if your waiting till the lower end 8series cards come out like the 8300 or 8600 then your going to wait another two weeks cause I think its the 17th or 19th.
