Well I have yet to find a game that doesn't work with the 5.22 on my system,
every game I own works just great.  Plus you have to take in mind that
driver sets like 5.16 and 5.22 are continuous beta drivers and you do not
have to install these, they are drivers that are constantly worked on. When
nvidia feels they have a stable version with a few improvements, they
release official drivers, like now the detonator2 drivers.
I've never had problems with any detonator drivers, so for my opinion their
drivers are great!
