Forceware 180.70 XP/Vista

Fall out 3: Lobby of 3 dog's Radio Station lags like mad, affects the sound aswell. Back to normal in 3 dog's room, but, as soon I go back into the lobby it starts lagging until I exit the building to go back outside then it's fine again.

Don't know whether it's cause I've switched drivers inbetween, but, I'm finding some of the locations to not be as well (or hi-res) textured as e.g. The world as soon as you come out the vault. Err, inconsistant quality in FO3?

bug seems to be known. Heck, FO3 has alot of bugs!

 

Just because you dont get better results with the .60 driver does not mean I dont. Just some minor difference in systems can give different results, if you knew that you wouldnt be saying much, so I guess you dont know that yet?? I did nothing diffrent between the two drivers, both drivers were in default settings, no game profiles were altered, no OC was altered, nothing. I got 5fps average boost between 60 and 70 driver, if you didnt does not mean anything.

Ps. Maybe you could fill in youre system specs, it would be helpful to see what you are comparing too?? Maybe in youre system youre CPU is killing any performance gains or something. Very hard to know when you dont know.

 

Hey Passion fruit

I noticed that too, however looking at his post I noticed that he has posted a picture which gives a very detailed list of all his hardware so it's not completely useless! In fact I'd like to say thanks to him for the benchmark results Perhaps he doesn't know how to fill in his details... who knows :/

I still can't decide whether or not to install these or the 180.60 CUDA drivers, I'm torn as nobody has said anything about either driver under S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, which is what I'm currently playing. Anyone who has any idea I'd love to hear!

 

Wow I am amazed at some of you guys,
Link to benchmark thread to see the old benches.

Hi!

Do these drivers work with 8600m gs 512mb?

If not, then what are the newest drivers I can get? Link please if you can.

 

Yes..but you have to download from website below and use the modded INF file.

Im getting ALOT of the good ol "Driver stopped responding" melarchy using the 180.70's on my 280 SLI setup.. About every 20 or so mins in COD WAW i get it.

Very very frustrating, because other then that they work very well.

 

How do I uninstall old drivers?
I want to intall 179.14, which are the latest that work with my video card.

 

From the ADD/REMOVE programs located in CONTROL PANEL. And the 180.70 will work for your card..see my post above.

 

What's the modded inf, and what do I do with it?:stewpid:

 

Are you OC:ing youre system anything?? And make sure all youre bios settings are set correctly, because I only get "driver stopped responding" If I OC too much, specially the memory and FSB. If I keep my RAM @ 800mhz (they are 1066mhz ram´s) and my FSB under/at 400mhz all my driver responding issues go away. So Im 100% sure the problems in most cases is caused by too high OC/wrong or overly positive Bios settings. Atleast for me and many others.

 

Download the driver from the link provided above in my post. Once driver is downloaded run the .exe file and it will ask where to extract the files to. After extraction is complete, download Modded INF file and save to same folder. It will state, file already exist, save modded INF file over original INF file.

between the 180.60 and 180.70 which has the better IQ?

 

From watching my Crysis Warhead benching I liked the IQ of .60 better. But I did not played any games on 60 or 70, yet.

 

I wish there was a benching program for DIRT and GRID, would like to test those two games on the 48, 60 and 70.

 

You can download Fraps, it has a benchmark mode in the fps page. Its not as good as a dedicated benchmark, but it will do, atleast give you a hint how well they perform.

 

Why don't you try them yourself! All these questions about whats better and which one has the better IQ...dll and install them and try! What it takes like 10 mins to uninstall,safe mode, driver cleaner, install, reboot setup up profiles/sli etc.. Lazy lazy lazy I tell you.

BTW the 180.60's are the best so far on my system, both performance and IQ.
