*** 66.93 Bugs ***

I think the latest drivers are designed for the newer 6800/6600 cards. Seems a lot of people with older nvidia cards are having problems with them. I'd stick to older drivers if I were you guys.

 

Bench's are up, Most game demo tests (for fps) are waaay up.
Halo 1 seems to run better
CS:S FPS test is waay up .. but real game was 40-60 fps.. Really bad shutter

 

this driver is great on my all games no crash or whatever

 

A bit of aspect-ratio distortion in Call of Duty - the picture is not squished, but offset to the right of the screen. Happens only at 1280x1024, other resolutions are fine.

 

I have a Major problem with Fifa 2005... after installing theese drivers, there are many vertical lines, which successfully prevent me from playing. Other games runs smoothly, and without any problems.

Update: The same problem in Warhammer 40k Dawn of War:/ Crap

 

I use fixed aspect ratio scaling in the digital flat panel settings and it always resets back to monitor scaling for me too after reboot.

It's like this in all 66.xx drivers.

no problems with this drivers, FlatOut, RBR, FarCry....

 

No probs either with this version. Flatout works, make sure that you have v-sync on!!

 

FIFA 2005 runs fine on my card with the 66.93 Drivers .

 

Very nice drivers so far except for a tiny judder every now and again - my simple driver test on Call of Duty:UO... start your own server, load the Carentan map and go to spectate, hover above the main street and press FORWARD key to fly straight down street and see how smooth they feel, I notice a judder sometimes, but other than that they are very smooth.

Warhammer works great here but i have the same problem with fifa... and to make it disappear in nfsu i had disabled fast writes...

suggestions?

 

i get texture issues in CSS, as posted on teh other thread. really sucsk

 

After test in several games in my hard disk, OFP, IL2 FB, CS Source, the graphic are very nice than another other drivers. especially in OFP, it's an obviously improvement!

 

Halo dont run smooth for me with 66.93. 61.77 feels much better with Halo.

The old (Halo) bug is still in the new driver. (flickering particles and invisible flag, only the pole is visible) This is not in the 56.72 driver...

 

I also get major problems when playing FIFA 2005 and watching movies full screen with these drivers.
Vertical lines across the screen makes it impossible to watch anything or play.

 

I have the funky lines problem, I get strange graphic lines coming out of random objects in any 3d game, occasionaly they are very wide and it's like a strange mis-shaped polygon. The problem does not exist with the 61.77 drivers. Have a 6800 so it's not an old card problem.

 

No promblems yet with this set,playing IL2 FB Pacific Fighters Star wars Battlefront H&D2 SS and Doom3.Get a small boost with most and can turn AF up to 16x with less of a hit.

 

I cant believe they havnt fixed that yet!

A workaround is to disable buffering in the Halo "config.txt" file, makes the flickering stop, but u do take a fps hit. Does eliminate all mouse lag tho, so might be worth a try if u do play Halo.

 

66.93 causes a fatal error on my system.

The BSD screen report says that NV4_Disp failed.

I run 2 video cards driving 3 monitors. After installing 66.93 I get a "blue screen of death" (BSD) every time I activate (extend desktop onto) the monitor on the 2nd physical video card.

Monitors 1 and 3 run off a PNY Geforce 6800 Ultra (AGP).
Monitor 2 runs off a PNY Geforce FX 5500 (PCI).

I first deactivated monitors 2 and 3 before I uninstalled 61.77. After the uninstall I ran Driver Cleaner. I then loaded 66.93. The driver worked on monitors 1 and 3 ok, but when I selected monitor 2 (the 2nd physical video card) the image on all monitors went to black, and then BSD resulted.

I uninstalled 66.93 and reinstalled 61.77. Under 61.77 all three monitors work properly. I then reinstalled 66.93. The BSD returned exactly as before. Ultimately I went back to 61.77 because it works.

 

Can anyone confirm a bug in doom3 in the "outdoor areas" between buildings?
Since 66.93 i'm getting massive black texture flickering there


P.S.: Installed them on a "fresh" XP system.
