185.65 for XP32/64 Vista32/64

These seem to have a lot of problems for my G80, and common bugs and Nhancer fails.

So much for AO support
Going back to the latest WHQL...

 

Hi, i can´t install this drivers... my card is not supported :wanker:

Somebody please upload a file nv_disp.inf fixed... thx

 

finally some forceware that dosent BSOD in win7 x64

 

I'm also getting the problem where nv control panel doesn't install. I'll try it on my GF's comp.


vista 64 bit, gtx 280 here.

 

I don't have to complain, the only x64 Build i had problem with nVidia drivers was the 7000 but right now we are on the right way......

 

antone has bugs on half life 2? or ut3?on vista64

 

Rendering problems in CS:S also here, only game tried so far.

Just get a black screen where the main menu is. The sounds are there from the various options, only you see a black screen. This is from a fresh install of Windows 7 also, CS:S loaded for the first time after downloading.

 

here you guys go with 8800GTS 640's like me that couldn't get it to install. since nvidia for some reason thought it would be a good idea to remove G80 support

Driver doesn't support 8800GTX by default. Haven't modded, but, sounds like games I play are broken...

Waiting for next one.

 

In Cabal Online all GUI is black.
In Assassin`s Creed antisotropic filtering is broken.
Back to 182.50 WHQL =\

 

Seems to work alright. I don't really see any real benefit from ambient occlusion, it's really subtle.

 

Is it me or is everything sharper, just run WOW looks very sharp..

 

Image setting preview (rotated nVidia logo) in control panel is broken - background is fully black
seems its higlhy beta release

 

Funny the GTX 295 is listed twice in these drivers?Me thinks the new single card 295 is coming out soon,especially since they took the dual card 295 off the stepup list for good at evga.

 

Ok my compability/stability tests results :
System Core I7 920 , GTX 260 , 6GB RAM , Windows 7 x64 Build 7057


Tests :

1) Video render settings(gamma, colour) : I always watch videos with altered settings. Nvidia drivers have overprocessed gamma. So some drivers cannot change the settings

2) Empire :Total war : On windows 7 x64 all 182.XX series and 185 series (except 185.20 and 185.26 ) fail to load a game .

3) GPU. OC: Windows 7 1.1 compatible drivers cannot OC or downclock. They have no 2D clocks either.



Video render settings(gamma, colour) | Empire :Total war | GPU.OC


181.71(wdm 1.1) | OK | OK | NO
182.02 | OK | NO | OK
182.08 | OK | NO | OK
185.20 | OK | OK | OK
185.26 | NO | OK | OK
185.50 | OK | NO | OK
185.65 | OK | NO | OK



So 185.20 is the only driver that has all the things OK. 185.65 drivers are very fast but cannot run Empire Total War. Why doesn't Nvidia fix Empire problem? :bang:

 

I played Fallout 3 on Seven x64 build 7068 with these drivers, everything maxed out, tweaked and with HD texture packs: it's so much smoother than the previous beta drivers (182.47)... less stuttering (almost disappeared) and more fluidity...

 

These caused an issue with my Dell S2409W and it kept resizing desktop. Messed about with the settings and it fixed eventually.

 

Tried these drivers with UT3, TF2, L4D and even Diablo II:LoD, all games pass and no problems at all with them

I'll install Fallout 3 and see if it has problems

 

I hope these don't cause rainbow colors in FC2 like the other 185 drivers.

 

Ambient Occlusion

These screenshots were made with 185.20.

And here's 185.65.


The quality of the AO is slightly lower, but performance is much, much better. The game is now playable with it on.
