Just bought a new PC and was wondering what peoples experiences are on what driver(s) are the best for a Nvidia 8800GTS
Same here I'm using the 97.92 drivers but I hate them because steam has severe graphical anomalies and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has some real FPS problems when using Sun Shadows and when using AA I have heard people are using 100.87 drivers from here and curious if it will increase anything or better get source games to work well I cant even get dark messiah to run it get nv4_disp.dll loop BSOD
try the 97.95 drivers, thats what im currently using and they seem to work great. steam works fine under these.
where do you get the 97.95, and will it do anything to my warrenty? im getting a lot of crashes in source games (sound loops w/ freezing, nv4_dis something like that BSOD), and the DMMM that came w/ my GTS wont even run... looks pretty fon to. EDIT: found it.. is it an actual nVidia driver? if so, why is 97.92 on their site?
have it installed.. ill update in a few days if im not having problems or im having the same ones.. so far so good
Using the 101.02 beta's here, run Stalker etc... great. http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1609
the newest drivers are 97.94 mate try them if u intend on overcloking u will need n-tune due to the temp vanishes in the nvida with coolbits 2.0
im running the new 180.43 XP 32-bit drivers from this site and they seem to work perfectly. ive tried WoW and TF2 on maxed High quality and their are no glitches or anything http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=277020
Mine are a bit old but i have no problems whatsoever. Using 177.92 with my card and the newest games have no problems with them.
Why was this thread bumped? Anyway, see in the 180.48 version it states.. *Boosts performance in numerous 3D applications. The following are some examples of improvements measured with Release 180 WHQL drivers vs. Release 178 WHQL drivers (results will vary depending on your GPU, system configuration, and game settings): Up to 25% performance increase in Devil May Cry 4 Up to 38% performance increase in Far Cry 2 Up to 18% performance increase in Race Driver: GRID Up to 80% performance increase in Lost Planet: Colonies Up to 18% performance increase in World of Conflict I just HOPE that the next WHQL release gives us at least a 38% performance increase for GTA IV, i just can't understand how i can run Far Cry 2 at reasonably good settings that looks FAR better than what i CAN'T run with GTA IV on Safe Mode (ie. lowest possible settings, but i up the resolution to take the strain off the CPU, but it doesn't help much).
Well, in the spirit of someone looking around for this information still, I'd say the 181's are happily working with my two 8800GTS's.
