official beta 81.87

3Dmark05 and BF2 froze in 81.85 for me, 3Dmark froze in 81.87, I didn't try BF2 but neither issue is mentioned in the resolved issues so I am guessing it still will freeze. Back to 78.03 for now

 

the guild wars bug is a 2 party bug, nvidia have already fixed it in the drivers and a patch is in development for the rest of the bug

try deleteing the sli profiles if all else fails... usually fixes things on non sli systems

 

definately guna use this for cod2

 

This is the first driver in the 81.XX series that i've actually been able to install. So far all my benchies and FEAR performance has gone up.

Also some nice new eidtions for SLI which i suppose were in the other 81.XX drivers.

Very happy

 

I'm still on 78.05 , no problems. should i change?

 

CoD2 performance definatly is smoother now

 

Better try them out ;-)
Back in a flash!

 

So whats the deal? 81.85 with a few fixes or new bugs?

 

Hmm, just got 81.85, and havent even try it on games yet, is the 81.87 any better?

 

I think these drivers suck!

IQ was worse than the 81.84s and 81.85s
Performance sucked, it was about the same, then all of the sudden I kept getting FPS dips down to 25 in BF2 when I never dipped below 55 with 81.84s

So I went back to 81.84s and all good now!

 

WOW these drivers ROCK FPS increase in CS.S / Quake 4 / F.E.A.R is the best i have seen since i got my SLI setup. Image Quality is much better then the 81.85 WHQL. Im impressed these are keepers . SOOOO NICE good job Nvidia.

Staus

Ohh forgot about this 3D Mark 05 744 points increase with these drivers (Total Score 12892)

 

yeah the drivers are ok , i just installed them because the give better performance in cod2

 

I have the same problem with these as I did with the 81.85s. When I add a custom resolution in the control panel, the drivers force that resolution to be displayed in "display adapter scaling." This makes the resolution look like crap and I cannot change it to "monitor scaling." The 81.84s have no problem displaying my resolution. I am using an Acer Al2032w widescreen display with DVI connection on my 7800GTX. Strange.

 

improved performance in CoD2, gotta try them

 

imma give these a try. i didnt even know Guild Wars had its own NV profile.

I really like the 8XXX serries IQ too

 

Bad Performance in Far Cry and F.E.A.R. -> back to 81.85 whql - no ****ing problem!

 

The IQ has definitely improved. Performance seems a little better too. AOE3 running very smooth.

 

gives about 10k 3dmark01 with my ti4200 compared to 77.74's 12k, but everything seems to load faster with these drivers

 

Well does it ? Would be great

 

dual core stuttering and other problems have been fixed by this http://www.amdzone.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3964
it really works man, not more cpu affnity bull$%&*. i would recomend you install it as soon as possible, and the registry entry is only if you wish to conserve power, so i would not recomend it.
