    these drivers took off for me with the crysis demo. Every thing on high and very highexcept shadows medium and AA off.
    (VISTA)
    Ran like warm milk, I hope Nvidia improves on this.

    Nothing but problems with these drivers. Managed to get a 3dmark test off before all hell broke lose and it showed a 130 point increase.

    Crysis - won't run, 64-bit app I get as far as the 'intended for home use etc' screen, then system locks up, 32-bit app I get as far as the first company logo video then system lock up.

    World of Warcraft - Get as far as entering the main game, then about 10 seconds later another system lock up.

    Its a shame, as I was hoping after the last set of drivers which gave similar problems for me that it would of been fixed. Back to 163.71 again.

    How do you enable AA in this Crysis demo? I set it at 2x or 4x and it keeps disabling itself? Setup a profile for it and forced 4xAA and it still won't stick in the game?

    Using the 169.01's with XP 32Bit.

    I found this at nzone fourms.
    The 64bit version will work if vsync is forced (either on or off) from the nvidia control panel. Credit to Software_junkie for finding this.

    Hey Hey Hey Good news for QUAD SLI OWNERS HERE!!!
    I played around with the driver some more...Pulled out the lower 7950GX2 and booted up, set multi GPU. got it working. Shut down, replaced the lower card, booted up,, and i`ll be damned QUAD SLI IN VISTA>>>>RUNS CRYSYS AT MOST SETTINGS ON HEAVY 30+ FPS...YAHOOO!!!!!!!!
    I hope in future driver releases they can get some of the glitchs though.. In SFR i get the lil bit of blue texture here and there, but other then that works great...Not bad on live tv good quality on 1920 X 1440

    Yep. It works. Now that I've gotten to test it in 64bit mode, it's official...this driver sux. lol

    It's noticeably slower than 163.75 in Crysis...at least for me. Rollin' back from this garbage.

    Getting aroung 60 FPS average with everything in Crysis maxed (1280 x 1024)
    using the Demo Loop


    One thing I noticed is this driver fixed the High Detail Shader Bug in Bioshock (better late than never)

    Strangely, it appears that the Shader Quality is tied into the AA settings. I noticed that when I switched to Medium Quality for Shaders, it turned off AA. If I set AA back on it switched my shaders to high.

    Weird.

    I finally decided to go high on everything, with only 2X AA and forced 16X AF, at 1680x1050. Gets me around 21FPS average.

    This driver ****s me. I installed it because the plane was chugging along at something ridiculous like 5-10 fps on medium settings with my graphics card.

    But it causes unbearable stuttering in Vista Windows Media Center on my TV Tuner. :mad:

    So far, slightly faster in WoW, by like 5 fps. Getting 65 fps in Shatt, now instead of 60 fps. I am still I the process of reinstalling most of my games back into the computer, and will test the benchmarks later. Stupid key limit, refusing to let me reinstall Crysis MP. Wow, lol, running Single player at all high settings, no AA, barely above 30 fps, sometimes down to the teens.....

    By the way, how do the people get more then 60 fps in UT3 if the 60 fps is on? How you guys take it off? I'm using fraps by the way.

    In the nVidia settings force V-sync off.
