185.85 WHQL available

Installed 185.85 the other day, every app I launched (Far Cry 2, Crysis, etc.) was unstable. Every driver since 180 has been rock solid for me; rolled back to 182.50, problems solved. Hope this doesn't persist.

 

^ Just the opposite for me. Every game I've tried so far incl the 2 mentioned above have been rock solid with great IQ to boot. 182.50 were good for me, but so are these.

 

Second that. Reinstalled my system a couple of weeks ago and made a mistake, installed the 182.50WHQL. I thought ohh damn I leave that for now. Today I got the urge to installe the latest WHQL. WoW started the good old idiod issue: When you move the screen moves like "stuttering". Still it says I got 40fps but the screen (LOLLING SERIOURSLY) Stutters!

Now I'm trying some betas if none of them are working then I go back to the good old 182.50.

185.85 SUCKS BIG TIME!

 

yea im checking here every day for any info about next driver

this driver flickers for me in warhammer, makes my comp crash after playing last remnant for a while and other things

 

Here is what i have notice using these drivers, these drivers really give a big performance boost in gaming, however they seem to be unstable a bit with a few games and for some odd reason the right side of my desktop is cut off slightly.

But i will continue to using them, but for the games which i can't play due to it being unstable, i won't worry. Good thing its only crysis and this game called el matador, but no worries, because crysis runs like a POS on my 8400gs anyway and el matador ran better on xp.

So i rate the 185.85 = 7/10

 

Seems my video driver shutdowns were related to running utorrent. I was downloading build 1727 all day. Ironically my video drivers wanted to shutdown all the time even sitting idle just with utorrent. I did however have a popup saying my sound drivers were installed correctly. LOL. Overall I suffered about 6 shutdowns errors. After shutting down utorrent, I then jumped into a game of FEAR 2 and TF2 and no issues in either game or the rest of the night. I didn't even reboot except for once during my download.

I upgraded to 1727 and I continue to be stable. No new driver installations. I have run a bunch of games with no issue. I've also not been using utorrent.

 

empire total war totally unplayable with flickering and artefact...:bang:

 

Same here junx with E:TW...will either have to roll back to 182.52 or hopefully nvidia will release a new series driver next month...

 

anyone getting flickering objects in age of empires 3 with this driver??????

oki here some scores from Vantage on my system and diffrent drivers this so far the best but not by much

 

Those drivers have 100000000 PROBLEMS......

 

Has anybody tried to force AA through RT? It made a big difference for me...

 

yes,i have it makes a big difference for me

 

what kind of difference pls? and what settings. thx

 

Nah they still suck. AF is broken for me.

I'm using the 181.71's now.

 

Ok i have 2 8800gt in sli mode on asrock 780G M\B with amd 9950 cpu , i was running 182.8 and it was good driver.
But I was tempted as i often am to try this latest driver so i did 185.85 and it was no picnic ill tell you. My Digital Vibrance wouldnt stay on i couldnt get into my Nvidia tools woth esa support, or my display pannel period, i uninstalled and reinstalled all these drivers 2 x.
colors washed out , couldnt get to disable\Re-install SLI & PhysX options so older games like Arma ( thats a whole nother issue but its with codemasters so nevermind!)
This Driver may be fine for some but with windows XP pro -32 bit and 2 8800 GT in sli mode , you can keep this driver.
I did system restore and tahnkfully everything is fine, again.
Ive been comming here since my first Riva TNT card, and i find the info regarding what a driver is goona do and what it will F%#K -up less intuitive now than i did then, but Granted these drivers are geared for latest GPU drivers. Fine , I have a last gen system no problem I have always enjoyed picking the pearls up after the last wave of techno whatever passes by and saving a few bucks.
I will always come here for my info and answers and truthfully i have never been let down by the knowledge base we have all created in this venue.
so heres my 2 cents about these drivers. If you have 8800 Gt in sli mode dont use these drivers they are oh-so finnicky.
