I got the highest score ever in 3dmark06, mostly because the CPU score increased in over 200 points. The shader performance is almost the same than the other 17X.XX drivers. Will test in games.

Oh, that is in Vista 64.

These rock pretty hard for me... my 3DMark06 score went up about 300 points!

...IQ is good too.

yes and boo, no SLI support. I had problems with previous drivers with my setup that when i went to Nvidia control panel and tried to open system information, computer freezed totally and had to force computer to shutdown. Now i don't have that problem anymore but missing SLI support gives me only option to install previous drivers back.

If these are 174.20, why does the download file name indicate that they are 171.20?

I would like to ask the same thing. Headlines are saying 174.20, but drivers when installed on Vista64 says 171.20

174 or 171 ???

yea SLI is a no go.
Ok after i uninstalled and went back to 169.28, i noticed that i had infact installed 171.20 not 174.20, so im DLing the 174.20 and will test it out.

calebMaster · 02-27-2008, 16:57 | posts: 164 | Location: Texas | User is Offline

ok i tested the 171.20 on 3dMark06 (default) - score - 14080 with my OCed GTX using riva tuner (630/1490/2.0ghz) and normal rig to your left; my old score was 13907 , im very happy with this driver , ill be testing crysis later

I have installed these drivers too. They have a realy nice I.Q compaired to all others I have tried and 3D06 went up another 30 points. Over all they are a nice driver for sure. I played COD4 and its nice and smooth and I.Q is real nice.

So install these (I have 174.16) or no?

Shadar · 02-27-2008, 23:53 | posts: 2 | User is Offline

i had some serious problem with this driver...after i installed it, my wow started crashing(artifacts and stuff like that), my driver stopped working, and blue screens! tried several times! the system was ok!
then i tried to uninstall guess what? impossible to uninstall this driver here =( i tried to uninstall, then driver cleaner on safe mode, but when i returned to windows the driver was there, windows installed automatically again! thanks god system restore was enabled !!!!

PS: vista 64

TyrokZero · 02-28-2008, 15:39 | posts: 4 | Location: New York | User is Offline

COD4 freezes up on me with these drivers

Voodoo54 · 02-28-2008, 20:51 | posts: 43 | User is Offline

i have run 3dmark 2006 and crysis benchmark through the utility,
i have not find any improvement, it is similar as previous drivers

pvt napalm · **Memory**: OCZ Reaper ddr2 800 4 gb 4-4-4-16

something strange happens when i play battlefield 2142 every time a new map loads it says optimizing drivers when i havent gone into options or even if an admin changes maps. if havent tried too many games yet but this is bothering me about battlefield. cod2 ran beautifully tho.
