Forceware 169.13 release

Seems to be, tried Timeshift and COD4, both seem a little better, not that I had any problems with them in the first place.

 

BEST DRIVER!!!!!!! I just love it! Crysis is freaking smooth $)
8-10 FPS plus ... fantastic job NV, thanx!!!!

 

I can confirm that this driver is also faster for my current XP system (UT3 and Pro Street run noticeably better). Dunno about Crysis though, haven't tested it much to see the difference

@Gottex, happy to hear that..but it may run even better when that mysterious patch will be released

 

is there anybody with a 8800gts640 that has tested it?
before downloading it i want to know the impressions of those with the same gpu as mine!

 

ill catch crysis fps later

 

anyone know how these perform for Vista 64 in CoD and U3?

 

yup going to try it soon. the drivers are downloaded just waiting on the patch like everyone else is. I will monitor my fps closely with the driver I am using now 169.09 drivers and the newest beta one 169.13. I'll give full report. I am in a process of updating my mobo bios so I'll give heads up later. and settings will be:

1920X1200 resolution, 8XAA with supersampling,16XAF,all high settings in game,and shadow resolution changed from 1024 to 1536 in one of the shadow config files. Tilll then.

 

Dowloading and testing right now sure i hope crysis will run better

 

what, shouldn't your rig run this game just fine ?? do you have some strange stutters? try disableing vertex size optimization, it worked a bit for me, not eliminated but was much better, i also read an article, they where testing this game on newer sistems c2d and gf8, and there was strange stutter with all c2d up to e6600 2.4ghz, they where gone with everything above that, same with amd.


As for drivers finally Nvidia, i've been waiting for new drivers!!!

 

I suppose it driver supports openGl 2.1
its not in the release notes T_T

 

lol u need a gpu to support 2.1, and all drivers are supporting it anyway, for example 6series only support 2.0.

but why would you need it anyway, because none game uses it yet.

 

Hey guys any improvements for 7900gt's both in xp or vista?

 

this is more like it. i have installed both the new ms hotfix and these drivers and before on the crysis gpu benchmark is was getting 20fps (tweak cvars to ultra high) and am now getting 29 fps.
i can even play with 2x aa and still feels smooth.

its getting there slowly but surely

 

Just i use drivers with support opengl 2.1 because i play to a mmo based in openGL.
And when i use some driver 2.0 there is a big diference between shadows and lights that i get with driver openGl 2.1 support: D


PS: settings ingame says : openGL version: 2.1.1 with last whql driver i use

 

anyone tried crysis with these drivers with a gx2 on vista 64?

 

Going to download this driver and try on my 8500GT card. See if there is any improvement.

 

Crysis medium 1680x1050 DX10 Vista x64

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 3.2GHz
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
4x1Gb DDRAM II A-Data 800MHz 5-5-5-18
MSI 8600GTS 256MB 740/1600/1120

 

Where did these files come from?, as they don't show up on Nvidia's beta driver page, they only show 169.12 Vista and 169.09 XP still. (Edit) the UK, Never mind.

 

LOL!

Chuck Norris does not have jokes about him, he has him about jokes! :3eyes:...

Hmmm, I hope there's an improvement on Crysis.

 

wow i have just installed them and even though i do not own SLi i have gained 120 points in 3dmark06 and around 2-3fps more in Crysis which is a healthy increase for sure, i will be trying a few other games and report if any problem arise, so far keepers! :thumbup:

edit : windowsxp sp2 32bit not vista.
