    I already had the beta version of these (just hadnt got around to installing), so I grabbed the WHQL and just stuck the beta inf in there to get it to install.
    Looks like its working fine.

    > Great to hear good sim. results. But have you tried these with Grand Prix Legends? All drivers crash GPL in pit lane on 8800GTS-512, XP, 32. Thanks, -Greg[/QUOTE]

    Does anyone know? And will use of AA ever be restored?

    Frontlines: Fuel of War plays much smoother with older beta 174.60
    (Vista x64, GTS G92)

    I get very close to constant 60fps with all settings maxed out (except motion blur) @ 1680x1050, forced 16xAF from NV CPL. It also has given best 3DM06 points.

    I've got a old spare HDD, installed XP x64 on that and tested 169.44 & 174.74: 169.44 was better/faster :O I saw max 0,5% gain using XP x64 vs Vista x64

    lads, off topics. anyone know in nHancer , in the compatibility tabs, there's AA compatibility. there's a list of option which i don't know what it is for. SO the question is, what does it do? :wanker:

    If thats the WHQL set, then that will be because the WHQL set are only for the 9 series. :)

    I dunno, this driver cut my framerate in World in Conflict a lot. Almost all high settings @ 1680x1050, I would get an average of 52fps with the benchmark using 174.53 I believe (damn, can't remember with all these driver releases coming out). Now, I get about 30 avg. Even after lowering my res to 1440x900, I couldn't reach 50+ avg with this driver.
