Geforce 180.84 Beta Drivers

Straight away i have noticed the control panel now has the proper .exe names for GTA4.

Please say we can force AA now. Testing.

 

Not that much difference in GTA IV here. Game still runs incredibly poor.

EDIT

Yea, one can use AA now, forced as usual via the driver's "override AA" option. Didn't try the game profile, as it was no need.

 

compared to previous drivers it's still an improvement but still haven't resolved the missing textures issue

 

Very good drivers, really smoother in GTA IV )

 

GTA IV Improvement from GTA Forums

 

10 fps more? Not bad, imo!

 

The test its not the same!

In the first the Render Quality was Highest and in the second test was High

 

New updated and corrected results, _JP_:

This is like increase 8xAF to 16xAF only, I don't think this is the cause here.

 

Reset driver settings to default in RivaTuner, uninstalled it, uninstalled old nVidia drivers, driver cleaned in safe mode, rebooted, installed these hoping that would solve my missing textures but still no go!

Only other thing I have installed is nHancer but don't see why that would cause the missing textures problem as I don't even have it set to start up with Windows.

Any ideas, has anyone else had to uninstall nHancer to get the textures to work properly?

 

no real fix yet on the textures but there is hope

 

No International version?

 

run very badly on my system ... low fps & stuttering Oo
wait for another version

 

Crysis - 10% up , but much smoother than 180.48

Grid - 1% up

 

Thanks.. installing

 

didn't see any improvements in GTA 4

WTF?

 

Can riovatuner control the fan speed with this driver? I used 180.70 and it won;t allow me to control fan speed.

 

Try using EVGA Precision. You can download it here at Guru. Works great for fan control.

 

Dude honestly , did you really notice 1% in GRID?

 

of course it does, it does with this, with 180.70 and with any 180.xx, you just have to get 2.20 version.

I had control with 180.70, 180.48 and 180.84 and they all worked fine with 2.20
