I also have problems with BF2/SF. When I try to load a night maps, it crashes to desktop. I went back to 78.03's and they load fine. Haven't tried 81.94, will tomorrow. All the other 81.xx crashed w/ BF2

 

GSB,

Do I need the PCI expansion slot bracket also? It looks like the fan is so big that I might need it? Did you need it?

 

tried em 2, IQ isnt that good but quake4 performance seems a bit better, like B&W 2 did,also colours seem like a bit better especially in quake 4....they r keepers for now

 

perhaps someone could show me some screenshot comparisons of I.Q cuz everyone saying iq with 81.xx is better but i cant see no difference since the early 7x.xx's

 

81.95 sucks, it bring more stuttering to my NFSMW...
when using official 77.77, just only 1/2 second stuttering, n it dun appear so offen, but after i change to 81.95, it start stuttering so often n longer...
i duno wat's the problem, so i went back to my 77.77...
oh, WTF, now my 77.77 also hv the same problem with 81.95...
fed up with this driver, make me canot enjoy "being wanted" at all..

 

Have you tried the 82.04's ? they work better for me and my system than all the modded and non-modded 81.xx drivers out there today

 

81.95's are fine here..maybe a 1 or 2 % performance increase over the 81.94's if any and IQ is great

 

no problems here. But then I' guess I've been lucky with few graphics problems

 

CRT problem still exsist but atleast GW is fixed

fast set by the way

 

Erm, this may not be like much but final fantasy 8 has serious graphics glitch when this driver was installed. . sigh.

I'm usin fx 5950

 

well nevermind i made my own, still dont see a difference

I.Q. comparisons

wow, nice work xrc6!

 

thanks i just been writing each result down and saving it so i can copynpaste so its not much work really, but soon the posts will get too long. so i may ween out iq comparisons pics

i will note that nfs:most wanted was the only game that appeared somewhat glitchier with 81.95 than 81.89 but not bad

 

These are the best drivers yet for my rig. The image Quality i amazing and QUAKE 4 is on fire with these drivers. Still COD2 has some nasty slowdowns UNBELIVABLE with 2 x GTX in SLI :-(. Im running COD2 in 1680 X 1050 with 2 X AA and AF on , SLI on , AND it looks really stunning with these drivers GOOD job Nvidia . Now we can just wait for a patch so that we can get rid of these nasty slowdowns in COD2 :-(. The Xbox 360 version is running COD2 in all its glory with no slowdowns (makes you wonder why one has used all that cash on 2 x 7800 GTX)

Cheers Staus1

 

Think i'll stick with the 81.94's. Too much 'risk' for so little extra or even less in some cases.......if I miss out, well I miss out

 

Possible graphical errors on 512mb 7800gtx?

Hi there,

I was just playin some BF2 and when i was using the controlled rocket fire view from chopper gunner seat, view was gettin a bit wavy in places? like disturbances flucuating on part of teh screen?

I've also noticed in BF2 that when i shoot the water, there are no splashes?

Has the water always been like this? Surely thats not right?

 

The disturbances were added with the latest 1.12 BF2 patch

 

Way to go Bro !
I get that same kinda glitchy feelin with 81.95, Mainly in NFSMW. Good now I know I wasn't just feeling the drugs a little bit more while using that driver. ha ha.... 81.89 is smoother in every game I have right now, so I went back....
Thanks for the Xtra effort brohiem,
good luck

 

some more benches from me, for all y'all wanting to compare driver performance a bit...
(rig can be seen to the right)
