77.76_win2kxp_english.exe

You can see the comparisons here with sli 7800GTX's, they also show 16 AA.

these are okay for me, FarCry 1.32,GTA: SA, NFSU2,SC: CT and F.E.A.R. MP beta works fine, and as for FEAR, i was able to gain at least 7-10FPS in the benches all details at max.

 

in BF2 i have to turn textures to medium with these drivers to prevent lag ill be sticking with 77.72 for now

 

I was testing the 77.76 drivers last night on a number of games and demos and I got my second blue screen STOP error while playing GTA: San Andreas. Now normally I install new drivers over the top of existing ones, i.e. I never uninstall the old ones as I've never had problems in the past with the drivers crashing... until now.

Figuring that somehow my installation has not completed properly I decided to uninstall the drivers, boot into safe mode, run Driver Cleaner Pro v1.2 and then reinstall the drivers as recommended on this site. The result is that the drivers have been completely stable, at least they were last night. Hopefully I won't see the dreaded blue screen anymore with these drivers which otherwise are excellent in terms of performance and image quality.

 

77.76 KICKS A$$

Games run better on my machine with 77.76
BF2 runs Great
COD Awesome
Joint Operations Awesome
3DMark03-12,080
3DMark05-5,334

Had 77.50 Before
3DMark03-11,980
3DMARK05-5,258

 

I'll get these as soon as there is a modified version out

 

Does anyone know ,when exactly Nvidia will release the official 77.76 drivers?

 

Does enabling Tripple Buffering have any effect if Vid Sync is turned off?

Edit:
Water reflections in BF2 with these new drivers appears to be a big improvement. Maybe just me...

 

fps should be lower then because your gfx card has to render one image more

 

@ Jelle Mees
Hi
First, thx for your effort in posting the 77.776 benches
Second, if may i ask what is the system that use for these benchmarks? is it the same that it is in ur signature? coz i have a 6600 and it doesn't came close to 3000 in 3dmark05 only 2100!! so is ur card overclocked or u use a different one?
Thx in advance for ur help
Best regards et a bientot

 

well well well..havnt tried this driver yet,but it looks quite promising,maybe the modded one c

 

these drivers work great in bf2. the game has never looked better.

in NFSU2 the game now locks up after several minutes. i reinstalled 66.93 and the problem went away. i will wait for modded ones to hopefully fix this.

for some reason i cant boot into safe mode. safe mode comes up and i choose admin, about 5 secs later it reboots. i tried it several times and it happens at the same place each time.

if i repair windows will i have to reload all my crap or does it just overwrite windows?

 

well well well..havnt tried this driver yet,but it looks quite promising,maybe the modded one can give better performance and iq boost..well im always happy whenever nvidia releases a new driver make it a bad one or a good one,at least the try to make us happy and that keep em going.good job to nvidia

p/s :and ati fans... please dont flame us..i remembered bout 6 years ago ati was nothing but a joke in the gfx industry,well people have their ups and downs..both would do their best to please us one way or the other...

 

Great Driver.... No Lags in any game... fps remain much more stable....

 

Yes..i also had 2100-2200 points on 3DMark.
But you can overclock the card from 300/500Mhz to 530/580Mhz and with some drivers, I can reach 550/600Mhz.
This way, you gain 5-10fps in games, and 1000 points in 3DMark05!

So...the 6600 sucks if you don't overclock it.

 

these work perfect for me

try deleteing the nfsu:2 profile and it will also delete sli settings

 

I forgot to add that NFSU2 does not work with the 77.76 drivers even with anti-aliasing disabled in game. It worked with the 77.72 WHQL drivers but now it freezes just like it did before I disabled AA ingame with the previous drivers.

Damn!

 

****... I tried also to delete that damn registry key but nothing, it still freezes...

I TRIED ALSO TO CHANGE ALL THE POWER MOLEX to my video card , nothing.

 

the Camo is nvidia specific

nvidia can't fix it as its game code

Nvidia uses a different shader path in halo to ati equivalents

you'll find that camo on all nvidia cards is faded washed out colour

and on ATI 9x00 + cards have it as kind of clear watery bubbly substance,

to achieve this effect on an nvidia card that has ps2.0 download and run DxTweaker (link in pic provided)

then take a look at this to work it out
