NVIDIA offers downloads of all drivers compatible with the 6800 GT on their website. In the past I have had trouble with new drivers and older games. Which driver version offers the best performance for games from the 2000-2005 era?

6800gt is released in april 2004 so one of the first drivers should be good enough for the most part? Probably a later driver for the 2005 period?

Best advice i can give with this sort of stuff is to check reviews for cards AND games and see what software/hardware they used.

asus tx97-e, 233mmx, voodoo1, s3 virge ,sb16
asus p5a, k6-3+ @ 550mhz, voodoo2 12mb sli, gf2 gts, awe32
asus p3b-f, p3-700, voodoo3 3500TV agp, awe64
asus tusl2-c, p3-S 1,4ghz, voodoo5 5500, live!

That's a tough request. There is no best driver for the 6800 series, since it depends on a variety of factors, like what chipset your board is running, what OS you are running and of course what games you want to play on it.
