Why no XP 32 or 64 drivers, nVidia? :bang:

 

because xp needs to go away?

 

178.13 3DM06 = 18130
178.15 3DM06 = 18313

Graphics seem to be smoother too...


178.15 Keeps for me...!

 

to the people asking about XP... did you bother reading #0?

"For users using OpenGL and GLExpert on Windows Vista" The driver only fixed stuff under Vista.

oh and Vista needs to go away ;-) Vienna needs to arrive!

 

That's just so true. Vista only:banana:

And DV is working in Vista 64. I'm off to test Warhead, looks like keepers so far. How come the betas outperform whql:s?

Edit: Warhead runs great. Then I get to the icey part and FPS drops below 10! Same story with the previous drivers as well but not as bad as this.

178.13

178.15


keepers for sure

 

Nice driver set i must say ... slightly better than the 178.13's in almost every game i've tested so far , inc. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky , Crysis Warhead , Call of Duty 4 , Pure etc. etc. ... under Vista x64 .. keepers for me ..

 

Agreed.
Crysis Warhead, COD4, GRID etc all seem to play better with these over 178.13
Keepers for now

Download 178.15 International Driver?

 

The 178.13 drivers useing XP for some reason the "Digital Vibrance" dosen't do any thing for my BIG SCREEN CRT monitor ( CRT_for Playing games ), seems that nvidia left out the driver switch for CRT to pick up the monitor drivers just a guess, but someting is not right. works great with 177.92...In Vista I didn't try the 178.15 yet !! maybe the digital Vib's will work with throse....

 

First Driver I tried for my new GTX-260, COD4 and CS:S running smooth as butter so far!

Nothing to compare to though until the next set comes along :banana:

 

vsync stil broken on PES2009 demo :biggun:

 

Downloading now thanks!

 

"vista should go away" ,"xp should go away"... pfft, neither needs to go anywhere..

people should really recognize the value of choice....

theres an issue with vista version thats why the driver is initially for that os. so no reason why xp users should complain.

 

mmmm, I´m playing the demo right now (I really LOVE IT! AWESOME!!!) with 179.13 and is working just fine did you try different things on "settings" menu?? vsynch on, etc etc?

BTW, I noticed that we have the same VGA but you have a Q6600 CPU. I´m planning to migrate to one of those CPU, but I wonder if it is a wise decision or maybe go for an E8400. Did you try Warhead? Could you please provide some benchmarks with your Q6600?
Thanks

 

Tried *EVERYTHING*. Are you running it on Vista 64? :biggun:

I am... Maybe this is the problem. KONAMI usually has issues with 64 bits OS... (remember PES 2008 on XP 64?)

 

Damn, you change the cfg right?
10 FPS more is too much \o\
