Just downloaded 163.75 beta from the nvidia site.

Slight boost in graphics in TF2 Beta. (5-8 FPS, btw using XP32)

I think I'll keep these ones since 163.76 is basically the same?

Video Overlays
This is an operating system limitation.
Vista window manager features will provide new ways of accomplishing overlays, but will require application porting.

Yeah basically the same but CP takes forever to load and boot times are extended as well with 163.76.

guys these drivers solve my vmem problems!!!!

you know that in gts 320 ram fills always without emptying

well with those drivers v-mem empties every time she get's too occupied!!

tried in crysis beta and every time i get 320mb occupied (sometimes 340-345) v-mem use fall down under 250 (before v-mem never emptied and it could go up to 450mb)

tryed in coh.of too and same results!

i think they are really working on solving 320mb cards issues



i'm happy XD

Still no 6800 sli support... it's been months now... Jesus Christ...

I'm gonna snap if someone tells me to upgrade again. My hardware is perfectly suitable for the apps and games I want to run, I don't need to shell out more cash for a new vid card.

It has NOTHING to do with Jesus Christ & everything to do with your outdated hardware. Sorry.

Is it me or there's actually two drivers sets for XP ?

163.75 and 163.76 ?

I've installed the 163.76, but all the change logs I've seen are for 163.75's.

Does that mean Timeshift won't work with 163.75 or below?

For the folks with 163.71 installed before these, is it worth my time to install them?

I ask since currently everything is working quite nicely with the *.71s.

Is there any chance, that they have fixed the flashing textures bug on 8800?

This looks like the last chance for me, before I switch to a Radeon.
