New drivers: Forceware 165.01 Recived from directly Nvidia Tech apartment

Damn, was hoping this would be the driver too, but since C&C3 crashes and it's the only game I've been playing recently, they are useless to me. I guess my hope lays with 158.14

 

That's what I want to know.

Go on, you first:beam:

These seem to work OK on my setup, the control panel crashed a couple of times, but actual benchmark performance doesn't seem to be any different to the old 93.81's I was using before.

hehe - I gained 0.1 in Vista experience

 

still no sli support for 7950gx2 and control panel wont even load. Some probs as 101.70. Does seem to perform better though, even though i can only use 1 of the 4 gpu's.:behead:

 

OK... I gave these one last try, and I mean that. I cleaned, then installed these again, to see what would happen.

Moderate improvement on all games, STALKER seemed... very nice.

However, the bugs are still too much for me. Color profiles still refuse to stick on boot-up, I have to manually click on the slider to make the gamma setting take effect. My latest project is to try to eliminate my upscaling DVD player, and use Vista's Media Center instead... and this driver version seems to completely devastate video playback in Media Center. AVI's especially stutter and stagger like nothing I've seen (xvid and divx codecs). This pretty much makes my Media Center dream die instantly.

So given the choice between a 5 fps frame increase on the games I play vs. the complete inability to play AVI's in Media Center.......

Back to 101.70 I go, waiting patiently for a working, non-chromosome-deficient driver from Nvidia...

 

i am using vista ultimate 64 bit. Still waiting for sli support. Just get a black screen when i enable multi gpu with 1 7950gx2 only installed.

 

C&C3 works fine on my rig, specs in profile. Using 32Bit XP.

 

WoW performance improved with Vista 32?

Cant wait to try them, when i get home from work...

 

yup, will try these in Vista 64 Ultimate when I get home, hopefully will be able to enjoy SLI shineyness...

 

still no DV for Vista x86. *sigh*

 

Is there a changelog, what have been fixed etc. ?

 

Using Vista x64 here

 

Still stuck at 1024 x 768 when connected using DVI. FIX IT NVIDIA. Back to XP again. :cussing:

 

i got 8401 in 3dmark06 vista 64bit http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1711548

my highest ever in xp 32bit is 9260

These drivers are faster in stalker, CSS, 3dmark06, i need to install more games...

 

Just done some more benchmarking with these, I'm seeing some nice improvements. 3DMark05 went up 200 points and 3DMark06 went up by 70. '03 and '01 roughly the same.

 

Unstable - Futuremark URL invalid!?

Can you confirm is this using Vista or XP and 32 or 64?

look back to my last post they are no way near as bad now ive just played wow for 2 hours and only got one normal i would have had a BSOD by now

 

Hmmmmm, didn't work for me - i still get the dreaded "nvlddmkm" error every few seconds. I'll try a clean install of Vista tonight, and give it another go.
