When you say old, are you judging this from the .inf file?

I'm not familar is why I ask.

I checked the .16 and the .inf file says 1/03/08 which would make these drivers 2 days newer than the .16's.

Any feedback from a 8800GT SLI user under WinXp?
I just made a fresh WinXp SP3 RC2 installation yesterday... using 169.38. I would like to know if those 171.17 perform good on G92 SLI systems before killing my new and clean computer ^^.

HarryRag · 02-12-2008, 17:11 | posts: 85 | Location: Behind my Keyboard | User is Offline

just tested the xp32 in cod4, these run very nice
and now they also released the .32
damn just have started a fresh install to see how the .17 would run from there off

having hard thought which to install fresh in a few, .17 are great in cod4, the .32 i don't know

Mwuhahahah, was thinking last week, that there where very few releases the last weeks, and the driver bombing has started again, me going nuts m8's

I've tested these thoroughly with Unreal Tournament 3, and I'm averaging about 66fps which is excellent and slightly better than 171.17. I have a chart comparing this to 171.17, 169.61 and older drivers on my Website (no registration required):

Forceware 171.17 beta WHQL: 66.62fps average over 9 runs of UT3 Benchmark tool.

So glad you asked! 171.17 are the best for UT3 according to my little benchmark project: http://www.alcomsplace.com
