185.85 WHQL available

Had the same problems installing it on Win7 RC 64bit. What i did was removing PhysX_9.04.08_9.09.0408_SystemSoftware.exe from its install dir and then launching setup.exe manually. Worked like a charm Then after reboot just install PhysX drivers.
Hope this works for You too!

 

Drivers performance is good but I can't run physix test with PhysX 9.04.08_9.09.0408 installed.I have to install th 0203 version.
I get P14327.

 

great drivers so far... hopefully cryostasis works now

 

Wow...Just Installed 185.81 10 Hrs Ago...
Nyhow great Awesome Drivers...
brought Down Temps For My GTX 260 by Approx 9-10 Degrees on same Ambient Temps...Thats one hell of an achievement...

Also Did nyone here was able to make riva tuner work with these drivers..only fan can be controlled now by rivatune now..lol

Oder then that awesome drivers ..perfectly stable..no issues whatsoever...

 

Lots of artefacts and flickering in Empire: Total War and Warhammer online. I had to go back to 182.50.

 

Great drivers. but i lost my full hd 1920 x 1080 60hz. now i only get 1920 x 1080 30hz.
Can not play crysis with 1920 x 1080, can only play 1280 x 720 at higest.

And my control panel is loading for ever!!!



I got full hd 1920 x 1080 60hz with 185.65 beta drivers, my favorit.

 

Personally I cannot stand screen tearing, it's one of the main reasons I've moved back from the consoles to gaming on the PC. I enable V-Sync and use D3DOverrider to enable triple buffering... it gives me silky smooth gameplay in every game I play without any stutter.

And once the framerate tops 60 fps I cannot tell the difference anyway (except for the godawful screen tearing!) so it might as well be locked. The TFT monitor I'm playing the game on can only update the screen 60 times per second anyway so there's no point in having anything higher, all I end up with is more screen tearing since those 60 frames per second will have bits of the extra frames thrown in as the framebuffer becomes overloaded. Looks bloody ugly IMO.

 

Hey, I am having issues with this driver currently. My right click on the desktop takes awhile to load and my control panel isn't working. It crashes everytime it loads. Any tips?

 

^

maybe its that pos nvidia ntune feature - monitoring software 6.xx causing driver control panel to crash, since its the one with driver cp.

 

So what do you suggest I do? Because I am not that great when it comes to drivers lol.

 

Is D3DOverrider necessary? Does the triple buffering setting in the Nvidia control panel not work?

 

Terrible drivers, at least for me. After installing and rebooting I get an explorer.exe has stopped working error whenever I right click the desktop, games complain about invalid resolutions (I generally play in 1440x900) and there seem to be a lot of resolutions missing, including 1440x900, when attempting to rectify this ingame or via the preferences (Fallout 3).

have gone back to 182.50 for now.

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

if u do have nvidia monitoring software installed, try to uninstall it first and see if it still crashes..if not that its this nv software, but if its still here then try 182.50whql drivers..



and as for d3d overrrider that in nv cp is only for opengl games, so yes you need RT d3d overrider for dx games..

 

hey my friend have anisotropic filtering broken too with this ones!!! In assassins creed with 285 GTX

 

This is getting old... but BioShock stutters on these drivers as well. And not just for me, for a lot of people.

The newest driver I can find to play the game smoothly is the 178.24 set... but then I loose a lot of performance enhancements and fixes for other games.

 

Lost my 1080p at 60 Hz on my LCD Samsung 32 1080p. Games without menu selection of frecuency runs at 24p.... Crysis now at 24p. No matter what I´ve tried on creating manual resolution rating, the drivers doesn´t delete the rest of refresh rates: 24, 30, 50 and 60. Choosing by games 24 Hz as default.

AF its BROKEN on games like AOE III, Assassins...

Nvidia, bad way. Seems to be a different group of programers of 182 series.

Back to 182.50.

Nvidia should remember a lot of people uses LCD TV 1080p as monitor and want to create a manual refresh that delete the defaults read by drivers.

AAArrrggg.

 

I agree with the vsync part, I also use D3D override and tbuffer combo as I cant stand tearing my self. As I notice it in any game with ease.

other post- AF isnt broken for me tho I dont have those games. Max you can try to manaully add the refresh rate in the drivers ini along with the edid override for your montior.

 

The nVidia triple buffer is for OpenGL applications. The D3DOverrider forces the triple buffer in direct 3d games liek css and crysis. You simply must use the d3doverrider if you want a stable 60 fps ingames. If you just enable the nvidia one, you'll be only using v-sync so intimes your fps will fall under 60.

Same here man! The control panel takes it's sweet time to load. Lazy bastard! :banana:

 

these sound ****, for the first time in 10 years ive experienced WHQL drivers that are **** from nvidia, the 182.50's, menu options missing, cant change things( one of the optimisation settings cant be turned on ) etc.

So nope,seems their drivers are getting worse, will need a lot of convincing to install these
