I just tried them and they don't find a comatible video card. I have 2-9800GTX's in SLI. When I looked at the .inf file the 9800GTX is not listed. Right now I've only tried them with Vista 32-bit. I'll try the 64 driver in a few.

the same here. when i try to install them i get this error "didn't find a combatible video card".
I have gainward 9800gtx and windows vista 32bit.
I also check the inf file and the readme file and doesn't have the 9800 model inside.

i've just installed them few minutes ago. ive tested COD4 and Crysis, and games working very smoothly, no lags no low fps for me, gt8800...

another positive thing that ive noticed that the NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL finally works very fast and smoothly for me, in earlier driver versions, my nvidia control panel was launched very slowly and ive expirienced some enying freezeing when i jump from for example 3D SETTING and DESKTOP COLOR ADJUSMENTS...

All these threads called "175.15" starting to confuse me,
But part from that these drivers are for me the best. Everything running smoothly and some problems I had have been fixed, big problem I had was when SLI was enabled when playing a movie would lock up my system but seems to be fixed

I can't post an attachment here but I've already fixed the 32-bit .inf file and you can get it here. Read the post for all the info.
http://www.appetitefortech.com/forum...6709#post26709
I'll fix the 64_bit .inf after I download it. Give me about an hour to fix it and make sure it works :-)

Look at the attachments :-)

Slower than 174.93

3D Mark 06 174.93: 9602
3D Mark 06 175.12: 9520

These drivers improve performance only for 3D Mark Vantage.--> around ~7% for Geforce gfx cards.

Not sure if this drivers fixed the fan issue completely but the card really much cooler even without rivatuner settings I used.
It was 55 degrees in 174.74 when running desktop now its about 41-45 degrees (Celsius ).

These work great for me.

P8601 up ~200 marks

Crysis "definately" runs smoother on certain parts of the game where it slowed down.
