Forceware 196.75

Setup starting: 2PM
Setup STILL installing driver components: 4:20PM..

ill try to reinstall.

well, now it installed fine (<5min) but uh.. it totaly screwed my desktop iconS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have so much crap on my desktop im so pisst right now

 

Thnx gonna try this out. Newer driver always seems to perform worse with Aion.

 

This driver is great All running good.

 

Whats missing from these,only 89 mbs?

 

Damn DF-1, i give up on install after 2and a half minutes, nevermind hours.

Just tested this will all my Cuda app's, no issues at all, and im guessing the new PhysX drivers are probably for Metro2033.

 

good!

what about COD4 mw and COD5 waw do they stutter like with 196.34?

looks like nv servers are hammered or down..


edit: its working again lol

Looks like PhysX drivers are smaller. And also some other setup are used for PhysX drivers...

 

modern warfare 2 running fine here, no black spots or flicker.

 

^
that is Ambient Occlusion, guess he forced it and didnt know about it..

 

CoD4 is still stuttering for me. Didn't test WaW.

 

is the image quality of 196.75 better than 196.34?

 

OOPS,Im an idiot,downloaded 32bit by mistake.:nerd:

 

I had a gamma problem with 196.34 when using 1920x1080 which is gone now. Great work!

Performance seems to be on a new level also. Batman:AA jumped up almost 10fps with the new Physx package, NFS:Shift looks great with AO and still works performance-wise (nailed at 60fps vsync).
Definitely a great driver from what I've seen so far.

 

good point.
downloading now.

 

hm crap, im gonna test them anyway..


is it first 1-2 min (because of punkbuster) or all the time?

 

this dropped alot of fps on bioshock2 and crysis warhead benchmark lost a cpl fps for min and avg fps..
quadro 191.66 the best for me still..:biggun:

 

Anyone else having issues downloading these? Seems Nvidia's getting hammered at the moment.

 

Aliens vs. Predator with the latest patch seems to run a lot better now under DX10 mode with these new drivers albeit there is still some initially stuttering post-load. It seems to smooth itself out though but if you disable motion-blurring then the game seems to run better anyway so it seems to me that the stuttering issues are related to that. Shame the game is still a bit crap though...

 

Just got these installed and normally the first thing I do is run a benchmark with Batman Arkham Asylum because it's a quick test for comparison and also uses my 8800 GTS for PhysX showing a nice real world result as opposed to 3DMark Vantage's non real world dedicated PPU numbers (shows lower overall score due to poor implementation). Well I scored my highest benchmark results ever though only by a couple frames, which is pretty significant in itself considering I run this test upon every driver install and never hit an increase like this. With previous drivers I always scored a low/high/average of 29/61/51 and now I'm hitting 32/62/54. While 3 fps might not seem like much it's actually quite significant because I always run v-sync and that 3 fps bump on the low end of the spectrum is a huge deal (at least for me especially when using one board as a dedicated PPU).

 

hmm, these drivers seem iffy according to some of you. but of course i'll have to try them for myself.
