NVIDIA ForceWare 169.21 Released / Discussion / Download

Ah yeah^^

Didnt read it as a should have.
Of course it is compatible, i read is 10.1.
Which is not, the 8 Series is DX10 architecture.

Shame on me, im gona sit for 10minutes in the corner of my room^^
Didnt mean to attack you pal,sorry for that. While i am sitting in the corner im also gonna clean my glasses ;-)

 

If i may butt in regarding DX10.1

but

 

apologies for talking about 169.21 drivers

I concur - it's certainly not perfect but it's much much better. Just wish we'd had these drivers before I started playing (I'm near the end).

 

I know I have an older card (7800GS 8xAGP) but after updating to these drivers I am plagued with the desktop crashing and a dialgue saying "Explorer.exe has stopped working" Used the Vista 32bit International version.

Have gone back to 169.09

 

Nothing sucks like driverproblems

Feels like they do the drivertesting on state of the art hardware, and forget about the older things.

 

now on nvidia site

Can anybody confirm that AA is working in UT3? It isn't for me, it appears Nvidia have disabled it regardless of CP settings.

 

heh, "WHQL candidate"

 

I think you will need new hardware to support dx10.1, ever try playing crysis with 4xAA on? Or will be the first time in history nvidia will have to produce drivers that can force off AA i guess.

 

DX10.1 is overrated for the moment anyways

No games afaik that supports it in development?

 

Can't select 4xAF with these, when selected it jumps to either 2x or 8x, anyone else get that, just doing some testing to see if the AF's not actually broken lol.

 

yes that got me mad :3eyes:

i thought they where whql, and not this stupid beta again! lol i think that they didn't whql them, because they had to pay for whql, and as they release so many drivers atm, they would throw away too much money if they whql every one of them.

Lamers make a decent whql driver and not this half baked $hit

 

Yup, ive had this bug with recent drivers... its really frustrating tbh. Gonna try installing these in safe mode, and seeing what happens.

 

Let me know if you get it to work

I'm gonna try as soon as I get home from work.
Did a uninstall and a complete removal of the drivers using driver cleaner in safe mode.
Going to reboot into safe mode again, and install the drivers.

Hoping this will work.
Praying to god tbh.

 

Well I can't get AA to work at all with these [XP32]

Anyone else, or am I missing something?

 

Doesn't work in UT3 anymore for me....uke2:

 

Flickering water in Crysis.

 

Of course they have.
