Forceware 84.25 Beta

7900GT 550/1630 shows as 550/815 in driver.. both on 84.20/25, this is normal. So confirmed that you have to multiply by 2. Now stop talking about it!

 

Can't complain, they work very well on my 6600GT AGP. Frequencies are also displayed in DDR values (500/900).
Though i'm still waiting for Oblivion heh...

 

Guys, RivaTuner should show the proper (DDR) clocks, but it doesnt yet support the 7900 & 7600 cards fully. You'll have to wait for a newer release.

 

Can you post screenshots to show this texture quality drop?

 

Besides Oblivion, has anyone run it on an eVGA 6800 GS CO? Games like Battlefield 2, HL2, etc... Worth the bump from the 84.20's?

 

I have a 7800 Gs agp 8x and 8425 really sukcs big time.....i think is an issue with 7800 gards because the performance is very poor in comparation with 8421 ..and it shouldnt be that way... i hope there will be another release that will make us happy......now playing with 8421 and works fine...
aniway Oblivion has many graphic problems...there will bea patch release...soon...I'm a little bit dissapointed.......

 

* sigh *

Yet another driver that gives me BSOD. Back to old faithfull 82.12

 

Why stop talking about, it's a legitimate discussion about a driver issue that the original poster is having.
Now start talking about it!

 

i guess that answered my question, i was going to ask are the 84.25's any good for other games besides Oblivion, ill stick with the 84.21's for now.

 

Yeah! I don't have Oblivion so there's any performance increase for 6600GT PCIe users?? I've seen someone with an 6600GT AGP having a big boost and other that says only that is stable! Don't know what to think for 6600GT?? And for 6800 Series answers are randomly positive and negative! Maybe I'll wait for a new driver since the last Official is still recent! Give FEEDBACK please

 

Oblivion seems to crash for me unexpectedly, anyone else on the same boat as me?:hit:

 

I'm scared with this Drivers they look like they are excellent for some systems and just really bad for others! And since I don't make benchies (and don't really believe much on them - I used 3DMark 2001SE but running a test would never give the same result so I use nothing right now) so it's difficult to say how they're performing unless they are really bad! I think that for a player like me sticking with the latest Official or some BETA from nZone that relly prove to be stable (like the 84.20) it's enough

Keeping 84.21 till more info

 

When i first installed my card i also noticed it would freeze for like 2secs, then the screen would go black and come back on again sort of like a long blink. Does anybody know what this issue is about. Maybe a more powerful PSU.

 

These 84.25 drivers FINALLY fixed the bug where the secondary display would reset when you right clicked the desktop.

 

I obviously lost iq,the AA is really a crap.Yeah some little points at 3dmark,but (I couldn't believe) mouse and keyboard lag!

 

Did you get mouse and keyboard lag in games other than oblivion? I thought it was just glitches in the game. Ill test it in a minute.

 

so far so good

so far theses drivers havent crashed on me once in ES IV oblivion. but the fps(frame per second) performance is roughly same as the 84.21 drivers. So far nice drivers for oblivion. speaking about oblivion, how does people like the game so far?

 

Yeah your right about that textures being scaled back, totaly agree with you about the shortchange. crapy look faster speed.

 

I was getting some mouse lag with 84.21

Yeah I was getting some sort of mouse lag with drivers 84.21 however I am using an wireless mouse, so I think the battery is dead. so I changed to a new one, I had one lag, after that walla. if the batter is soon to be dead in the wireless mouse it can cause a great deal of lag and sometimes if ur clocking on something it wont start at all. I am certain in my situtation its the battery. hasnt been changed in long time.
