259.09 OpenGL 4.1 driver support

Haha. What I mean by properly is that it does not crash and works without any hitches. The WHQL it seems does not always test for this, but only tests whether it can install and run on your system.

 

WOW i lose about 20-30 fps with this drivers hahaha. Far cry 2 all max out with full aa8 at 12801024 with the 256.86 drivers, solid 40-60+, now i am getting 20-35fps, horrible drivers. Uninstalling now.

 

Dude...the reason I said the latest WHQL, is because its the latest driver out by nvidia period. It's the same driver as the BETA listed on their website. Think about it. I was talking about the current situation, not a religion, geeze.

I don't care about the WHQL logo either, but the CURRENT situation is, it's the SAME driver as the BETA listed on Nvidias website. Get it? Got it? Good!

So all you trolls back off and have a nice day!

 

What did you expect? It's a developer driver, and that means it's a BETA! (In this case, Very Beta.) Never mind the WHQL logo.

Bottom line: It's not ready for end users.

 

Running WoW LK edition, this driver performs really great with very good IQ
Since lots of bad FPS i don't test them any more :biggun:

 

This driver fixes shadow flickering in GTA IV when using SLI.

 

Why?

Not really...

DriverVer = 07/24/2010, 8.17.12.5909

DriverVer = 07/09/2010, 8.17.12.5896

BTW - I didn't mean to offend you I was attacking Microsoft's meaningless WHQL certification but now I really don't know what you were trying to say.

 

For me and my Race Sims it's the best driver I tried. Very smooth, good performance and looking good.

 

I'm using these drivers with good success. I look at it this way NVIDIA wouldn't have market share if they cant get developers to support their hardware. They want to put their best foot forward so these drivers may be the best thing since quadro. At least thats my perspective.

 

Finally fix my weird BSOD errors from 258.96.
A keepers for me.

 

youhouhou!!!!!!
I'm waiting actually for my new gtx 460 1go!!!!
I'm just hoping i will not be cpu limited...
athlon X2 @ 3.26Ghz.

I'm playing in 1920*1080, i don't think i will be cpu limited.(i want at least 30 fps)
What do you think?

 

I gave these drivers a go yesterday afternoon and found that MPC-HC didn't work with them. Video was extremely choppy (only tested EVR Custom and VMR9). Since the 258.96's work well for me I didn't waste any time reinstalling.

 

You will be CPU limited in quite few games.

 

Heya kitch :cheers:

 

I tried these drivers out, I kinda like them =) they work decently, didnt notice any performance loss nor decrease either. They are a bit smoother than the 258xx ones as well =)

 

i tired these in winxp and i didnt like them much, they felt slower in Fear Combat and in UT3, i returned to 258.96.. i also use these 258.96 in win7 i was gonna try 259.09 but i didnt see the point, well everything works just fine with 258.96..

 

Ah you too

Thought I was the only one.

 

These seem to be the best I've tryed till now
good balance between performance and iq

 

My gtx 470 arriving tomorrow, sorry for the side question but what are the best nvidia drivers today then, should out download last official from nvidia website or beta ones are better?

 

It's the latest driver put out BY NVIDIA for the general public. When you do the standard driver search on their page, for both BETA and WHQL.
