I have a GTS250 made by EVGA. When I installed windows 7, it knew it automatically.

I would prefer to leave it alone, but I am I missing out? Will it perform better with the Drivers from EVGA?

Do things seem sluggish? Are you having any problems? Anything unstable or acting up? If you answered no, I'd leave things alone.

Everything seems fine. However my WEI score was only a 5.9. I thought maybe with the newer drivers my score might go up?

If you game, then the latest drivers from nvidia are the way to go.

Otherwise stick with what works. I wouldn't worry about the WEI score.
