    Same thing here, it's not working. Setting will stick but doesn't do anything. Luckily my monitor has fixed aspect ration scaling though.

    These are awful for me.

    Dropped my Vantage score by 3K among other things. Rolled back to 195.81 and all is well.

    Sorry guys I know this is a little off topic but you mention in your post about "with the ultra graphics patch installed". What are you referring to? Someone else asked you about this patch and you said "nope, I just installed these drivers nothing else", so I'm a little confused. Are you running an "Ultra graphics patch"? And if so where did you get it from because I'm interested.

    AWSOME! d/l now Thanks bro!:) Actually I got a little ahead of myself there heh. Anyway I went to the link you left a don't see a DX9 ultra patch. Closest thing is a "Enhanced effects mod". Where can I find it?

    that is the one your after, install it then you can select ultra from the graphics menu in game

    Expanded effects highest volume, particles, dust, smoke, water, dirt, mud etc, for the experience more extreme in this fantastic game.

    -New options settings, enhanced reflex and shadows, (note: this options with ultra, or veryultrahihg options, produces a strong impact on performance, recommended for extreme equipment)

    That's great, I've got 2 285's vmodded and watercooled running at 821core 1836 shader and 1404vmem, a Q9650 @4.2GHz and 4GB DDR3 @1866. Hopefully that will be enough! Just read the latest on GF100 yesterday and can't wait... I guess we won't need this mod then eh!:nerd:

    solve the problem, Dark Void demo install another nvidia system software 2.8.1, unistall this, unistall Physx drivers, re-install Physx drivers, and works ok.

    RivaTuner overclocking broken here, fan control is still working though

    strange freezes in Unigine Heaven seem to be alleviated somewhat too, not completely gone, but much less regular :)

    Is the stuttering problem cured in fallout 3 with this driver set? I've tried all the previous 190.xx series drivers, and every one of them stutters outdoors. Since I haven't installed the game yet due to stuttering problems, i'm eager to know whether the problem is solved or not. I do know that reverting back to 186.18 cures the problem, but unfortunately it creates problems for my other games so i'm stuck with 195.62 atm.
