65.76 Release Candidate Drivers Here

Rancho

According to [H]ardOCP these are Nvidia's newest WHQL RC drivers. You can grab the international version from our chinese friends at Mydrivers. Their servers are kinda slow though...

Video hardware encode/decode now working in all Nv4x cards. Impressive.

Ok, that was a big waste. Just like the 65.73 the ability to stretch tv out is gone with these. I know it seems like a stupid thing to be picky about but it's an essential feature for a multimedia pc. No point in touting video hardware decoding when the video is squashed and out of aspect on your video monitor. I know games are the #1 priority here but this isn't the full package. I really hope the official release isn't missing this simple ability. Back to the 61.77's.

Well depends on what you do:

Just playing games= No - stick with 61.77 / 65.73WHQL or 66.00Beta

Need TV-Out stretch= No - stick with 61.77

You watch DVD and work with Video en/decoding and play games= certainly.

Also Moon, you're still NVD registered or are you out?

hmmm i see that only a few cards are listed in the inf, meaning they are probably optimized for the new cards, also meaning they can't be a RC can they? if they were RC drivers shouldn't they be for all the cards?

dvd problem still present, ain't tried games yet, unlike the other betas i can use vmr9 to watch dvds without the pausing. they fixed farcry slowdown/screwedsfx for me.
using post processing in forceware mm crashes the player.

Why do these drivers have the old control panel?

foofi

these drivers dont work good with my card, i dont think that theyre for an FX card. Only for Qattro and NVidia 6th.

FNK

Useless for the card under < 6600&6800

it means they may make WHQL status but are not actually WHQL'd.

Only the Nv4x cards have hardware video encode/decode. Previous Nvidia cards don't. Except for the Media cards.
