  They used to be called Detonators... But they renamed them a while ago. These are the ones I use for my FX5900 at least. And everyone (from GF4 and up?) should be using these nowadays.

      These drivers will work for everything, but for older hardware older drivers might be better optimized. I think that's what SilverSnake meant.
