    I haven't tried these drivers yet, but WoW has been the only game that I have had issues with. BSOD's, rebooting, freezing. I think I just have to keep the fan cranked up and it usually works ok.

    I'm locking up quite regularly with CoDW@W and have tried virtually everything to resolve. Question: what keyboard are you using? I'm suspicious of the software used with Logitech's G-15, I recall there were compatibility issues with a game or two awhile back. I've unstalled the keyboard software, in the brief time I've had to test (2 hours) no lockups yet.

    PR is the only reason I put the BF2 disc in the player.

    I have a agp MSI 6800ultra system that I use eVGA precision tool with and it works great, fyi.

    I game on a 46" monitor and for PR Ive always used 16xQ aa during gaming. But with these drivers 16xQ aa apears to only be like 4 or 8xaa during play, the jaggies are much bigger on my screen than before with the 180.43. I also have a 20" sony trinitron crt with my p4 agp card and I cant see the difference from 4xaa to 16xaa on it because the screen is to small at 20" to ever tell the difference. But with a much bigger monitor you can really tell the difference, for me anyway.

    This are no go for Lotro for win vista 64 with DX10 enable shadows of
    the enviroments.
    I get flickering blocky shadows.
    Only drivers that work for me are 178.13 and .24 but I can't control the fans.
    The 180.48 re enable me to control my gpu fan but not good for my online gaming,same thing with the beta 180.43.:biggun:

    Don't know if its been mentioned, but these drivers double the frame rates in UT3.

    Check those problem areas in Shangrila or Deck - frame rates doubled, or more!!!! Absolutely freaky. Someone please confirm.

    Nothing happens in PCSX2 here on my 8800GT... How the heck do you know the clocks dropped and its not an emulation bug? ;) :)

    Im using a Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000 (Bluetooth).
    It's never caused problems with previous drivers, I think it's just a cock-up by Nvidia.

    AA quality is very bad in crysis with these drivers.

    Well, I've had the lockups with pretty much all the recent drivers. Removing the keyboard software and moving to a Saitek keyboard "seems" to have resolved the problem for me and the 180.48's are no longer locking up the game.

    Because EVGA Precision shows the clocks dropping and the emulation performance reflects it. It is nothing to do with the actual emulation which runs perfectly with 178.xx drivers.

    Weird... I overclocked my card perfectly with RivaTuner 2.11 and these drivers. Nothing wrong in PCSX2 here. :pc1:
