    Try setting image to high quality, should auto set it to off, always worked for me. What's the story with ppl saying these drivers are corrupted, how can nvidia allow that to happen?

    Hi there, may someone upload the Vista x64 version? The nVidia servers are very slow today, right now I'm downloading @9.3KB/s (I always dowload@800-900KB/s)... :(
    Thanks in advance.

    This lack of US English download is getting a bit annoying now.
    I don't particularly want the international release :(

    LMAO and it has 2 thumbs up from Microsoft ? DV broken ? I think if NVIDIA were to have monkeys in their software testing team things would be better - I would hate to think that such incompetant quality control testers are the same ones who validate the actual graphic cards! F*cking pathetic - why does it take so many updated drivers one after the other for NVIDIA to get right what it SHOULD have gotten right since day 1, we paid for a grpahic card, are we supposed to wait 200 driver release versions later to get features we were supposed to get from day 1 ?

    NVIDIA's business practices and utter DISHONESTY towards customers should be exposed - making bold claims of 25% better performances, 13% better, etc, what a croc of sh*t - All NVIDIA is doing is playing around with on/off features - if ever you get increased performance it will be at the cost of quality, that's how it works - no matter how much NVIDIA tries to "optimize" their bloody drivers, keep in mind that your GPU is not fully used to its full capacity, no softare driver out there takes full advantage and is fully optimized for its hardware, that goes the same for Creative and other companies.

    and if you ask me, that 180.xx release is a joke - yet another marketing name to a driver that simply turns on featuers that were ALWAYS present on your graphic card but disabled by NVIDIA.

    Nice going NVIDIA.

    LOL

    From what I've seen, Nvidia has pulled the driver for now, no links on the US side.

    I fully agree with you. The spirit of capitalism and consumism precisely consists in offering a product that is always incomplete or bugged, so that we have to buy the next/new version that offers corrections and improvements, but will still have other kinds of issues.
    We will never have a driver version that fully exploits the power of our videocards...

    If any of you have had Creative Labs Sound cards, you can relate to this - Remember the EMU 101k chipset ? Drivers only took advantage of 40% of its true capacity :D NVIDIA is playing around with feature registers switching back and forth and making us believe they are releasing new drivers - do they have a big round table with people going "Ok let's see, maybe for 178.24 we are going to turn a few options on...." "In 179.08 we will secretly turn what we turned on but we will turn on this, this and that......" come on, I've actually seen this work of genius myself - see word on the street goes far, NVIDIA seems was made aware of this "discovery" their playing around with themselves - NOT surprised they pulled the driver LOL look for 178.25 sometime soon. this is too funny ! :banana:

    Not quite true - they usually release those "finally we got it right" set of drivers, just on time for when your videocard has long reached its EOL and is obsolete and you are ready to buy a new one :)
