    This happens because it is not the international driver version.

    The older files ends with ***R.dll right ?
    The "r" files contain contol panel ressources in different languages.

    And because this version don't include the "r" dll's so the default vista one are in use.

    yes old G80...anyway i think at 1680x1050 with high setting (no medium), kitserver LOD high... n enabling AA and AF, everybody get stuttering in certains replays especially w some teams (weather night or day and stadiums also affect)...no matter wich drivers and vga or memvid

    end OT

    Assassian Creed crashes, black screen for 15 sec and total freeze, or Small Freezes which takes like 4 sec, did not happen with 174.74.

    RainbowSix LasVegas 2 works good.

    going back to 174.74 i think.

    PES2008 has ****ty performance on Vista regardless - KONAMI doesn't even support the game on Vista officially.

    Downloading now...

    Ill give some feedback about SLI and Assassin's Creed cuz that's what i'm playin right now.

    Hope ill see some improvement compared with the 174.74b! not cuz it doesnt run well but i would like to get more FPS, i'm sure nVidia can do better than that!

    So far AC DX10 is similar performance wise and i lost about 100 points in 3DMark06.

    3DMark06 score is not a big deal as long as there no bug ill keep them they're better than the 174.82 no doubt.

    Ill try some other game like Crysis just to know how they are working under a real PC game.

    174.74 gives me steady 61 FPS in UT3

    175.85 drops to 35 in some spots where I get 61 with the above drivers.

    Vista X64, PCI-X 8800 GTS 640 DDR3, 8 gigs RAM, 3.0GHZ intel dual core conroe 6850.


    verdict... 174.85 is teh poopy for me.

    I've found these drivers to be very stable. Played Wow, FarCry, HL2/Portal, Oblivion and Hellgate London without crash or BSOD.

    One strange thing is that I lost the ability to play 1900x1200 in Oblivion. The option just isn't there. I have 1680x1050 and 1900x1080 though.

    So for everyone else Assassian Creed works good without freezes and black screens ?

    Everything on highest ingame, multisample 2/3, Vsync off.

    in nvidia CP , IQ = HighQuality ,Antialiasing Gamma Correction = Enabled, TripleBuffering =off , antialiasing Transparency = Multisample , Maxmium Pre-Render = 3.

    Yep its all working fine with every settings fully on, the only thing i cant turn on is the multisampling, if i wanna get multisampling turned on i need to choose a 16X9 Rez like 1680X1050. I tried a day @ that rez with 3/3 multisampling and it worked without a hitch.

    The only thing that can help you is that i noticed that some game doesnt like to work with IQ @ High Quality, put it on Quality, we never know!!!!

    Cheers,

    In vista 64 bits Colin Mc Rae Dirt freezes automatically after 15 seconds of gameplay and Jericho is unplayable with these drivers but the rest of games i have works better ( TDU , Lost PLanet , GoW), pending of testing Nwn2 to be sure "flash" issue is gone
