Ripped from the battlefield 2 demo.
Non-WHQL. Includes installer. 24mb, i dont have teh compression powers of Hilbert but it's 7zipped at maxx.

EA thinks there the man now, leaking nvidia's latest drivers and boycotting fileplanet.. Geez whats next, exlusive EA drivers, from EA's site only, which you have to pay for, and run only on EA certified alienware systems? hah.

EDIT Hilbert - Okay hosted here on Guru3D.com now:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1092

We repackaged these drivers towards a cool 15 MB (was 24-25).

Your so stupid Garak, these drivers were included with BF2 because they fix a shadow issue with the game that only happens on Nvidia cards.


These drivers have nothing to do with EA. Geezzz...

Very much the same performance FPS-wise as the 77.13, 76.44 drivers.....

Far Cry
77.30 = 70.39 fps
77.13 = 70.37 fps
76.44 = 70.20 fps

Doom3
77.30 = 56.5 fps
77.13 = 56.5 fps
76.44 = 56.5 fps

HL2: Guru3D_demo5
77.30 = 106.80 fps
77.13 = 106.99 fps
76.44 = 106.94 fps

CS:S VST
77.30 = 102.47 fps
77.13 = 103.56 fps
76.44 = 102.41 fps

the 77.30's is not much diff from 77.13

sc3 and nfsu2 have just about the same improvements, doom3 looks a little better than bfore..

so i guess its either or to keep these drivers

ppl these drivers r available on *********.com so get it there untill guru3d posts it
