There's no reason to open the CD envelope included with the card.

Use the nVidia drivers. It won't be a problem.

In the past I've always done this... the only reason I asked is because I've
never known a card manufacturer to brand nvidia drivers with their logo and
maintian a fairly updated driver list on their own website (of course I've
mainly been using ATI cards in the past) so I thought that maybe evga might
somehow tweak the driver set for their cards or something. But I'll just
stick witht he nvidia drivers from now on... thanks!

Yes, at times card manufacturers offer their own interface with possible
improved tweaks. But in general nVidia is pretty good about optimizing their
drivers, and at least you know you have the latest, if that is important to
you.

Well the latest isn't really all that important to me specifically (if
everything's working , I'm happy), but I had another piece of hardware in my
system that was giving me some problems and their tech support wouldn't even
talk to me until I updated every other piece of hardware in the system with
the latest drivers.
