I still have a monitor bug. It keeps knocking out my monitor drivers..its like the drivers dont know what model my monitor is even if i install the drivers. My monitor being a NEC Multisync XP 17. Windows sees it...but the nvidia drivers dont.

 

TA, getting now.

 

There is mobile version is released too.

They are on nzone now also.

 

And how is the performance compared to the 81.82 or 81.84. I'm on the 81.82. It runs good on my 6800 GT.

 

downloading... any news about performance comparing to 81.84?

 

woohoo i can turn on gamma AA again!!

 

I just ran the FEAR Performance Test with the 81.84 and the 81.85 drivers and got much the same result with each one.

81.85
39/67/147 fps
39/67/145 fps

81.84
39/67/144 fps
39/67/142 fps

 

Why do they keep forgetting to add the 6800LE AGP in this and 81.84? It's tiring to add it yourself everytime.

 

I got them, but won`t install till I see how they are for other 6800 Ultra users. Love the 81.84s.

 

Sweet... im a try when I get home because im getting fear today! Also im still using the 81.84s they are definately the best drivers ive ever used especially for my 7800GT and BF2

 

Very nice indeed!! Gamma Corrected AA bug also fixed

 

And still no HDTV output here. Just the option to use normal PAL and normal NTSC output. Isn't there a way to force HDTV resolution output?

 

Downloaded and installed....

Have to wait till i get back from work to try these

 

Still the same bugged Direct Access issues.
Adjusting my brightness to zero and locking me out of the contrast buttons on my monitor.
And no its not locked in control panel.

Advice to nvidia remove the Direct Access and leave the manual controls on the monitor.
Fix the game bugs and leave the monitor controls alone!

Rolling back to 78.05 which doesnt have Direct Access and works

 

Well, not having a 7800, and not turning on HDR in FarCry, I guess little point in DL'ing them.

 

Running great on my 6600gt, very nice colours they seem brighter than the 78.xx drivers. Not had any problems as of yet, I like them.
