Forceware 177.79 WHQL Candidate

Windows Vista 32-bit WHQL candidate
Windows Vista 64-bit WHQL candidate
Windows XP 32-bit WHQL candidate
Windows XP 64-bit WHQL candidate

Found these drivers on another website, dont know if they are exactly the same as the 177.79 beta drivers, thought id share :infinity::infinity::infinity::infinity:

Peace!:nerd:

 

well acording to Nvidia in the UK they are WHQL, although I did have to do a search for them to find them. But on the download box its saying it is a beta

 

Weird, just downloaded both

07/26/2008, 7.15.11.7779 on the 177.79 whql can
07/26/2008, 7.15.11.7779 on the 177.79 beta

But there are different links ... Ftw :biggun:

 

on vista x64 sp1 it show as beta ... not whql ... this is exakt the same driver

 

Candidate my friend uke2:, dont worry whql 5aug right?

 

yes whql driver cam on 5th aug. (with cuda/physx)
on nvidas page the driver is not up-to-date but it show as whql ...

 

Here's the link to Vista x64 (your points to XP64)

Windows Vista 64-bit WHQL Candidate

 

I wonder if the 5th of Aug. is really going to be a release date or just speculation?

 

I'm kinda hoping not. Or, if they do release, they release 177.80 drivers. The 177.79 drivers completely mangle City of Heroes under Vista and the tech forums there are already getting a few threads about it. If the drivers are made official then there will be a lot more threads.

 

Thnx, fixed it ofc, im not @ home atm.

Can anyone check if PhysX is enabled? :infinity:

 

no physx for g80 but all newer card ...

physx have nothing to do with the driver it self .. its from the physx driver ... all driver after 177.39 support physx for g80 but the physx driver does not support older card, so if a new physx driver is out .. maybe 5.th aug. physx work with older cards .. or nvidia will the cuda/physx driver integrate in the forceware .. thats it ...

 

Dunno could be intergrated to the gpu driver, but then again also to the physX, first one seem more logic cause it has to "run, the physx"

Anyways i think this is the driver that is sitting @ MS office now waiting to get WHQL signed

 

Getting whql or not have nothing to do with performance. It is still the same driver but with a certificate. Not more. If you have the beta driver you dont need to update it. Waiting for 180 driver on sept. with Opengl 3.0, gpu h264 decoding support and many more .... (maybe big bang II ?) i hope

 

physx driver =! gpu driver, for those ones which say , they may release a physx driver 5th august, not necesarily gpu one

 

Aug 5th tomorrow, yayyy

 

Wonder if we will get a physX driver

 

I dont care about the physx "driver"

Nvidia Must realease an updated Physx Software install.

As the current only supports 2 Apps....

 

thats what i call physx driver, ok, its physx software =), but i meant that we aint prolly getting a driver (since they already include physx).

 

The 177.79's are their WHQL drivers they are going to release on the 5th, your already running them now if your on the candidates, as the candidates are the drivers microsoft have, the only change from WHQL candidates and full WHQL is, when you go to install the drivers, they will not say they are unsigned, that is all.
