possible 158.16 soon?

WTF? it was real!?!?! why the jump in name from 101ish to 158?

 

Tarkan, nice to see another neo plat with a 6800gt. I'm surprised you had any improvement at all. I might try on mine, but I had bad luck with anything over the 8x.xx series (very slow).

 

If this is true shouldn't these drivers be more widespread by now? It also seems to me that if they come with the GFX cards, they should possibly be on one of the manufacturers sites?

But that said.... Please let there be Vista x64 drivers!!!

And big ups to all you guys who uploaded and are hosting!
:thumbup:

 

Just tried Stalker and it crashed with rainbow graphics corruption. I'll try again to see if it was just a fluke.

 

**sigh** ..... Vista..... sweet Vista.... when will we see these drivers?... **deeper sigh**

Aw, well, for Vista Ultimate x86, 101.70 (Guru3d's and not Microsoft's) works great for me, with a few major annoyances (can't resize HDTV to compensate for overscan? Settings not loading up properly from Nvidia profile files? hello?)

Patience is a virtue, but I wish they'd hurry. :help:

 

Thanks for hosting these folks.

Not magic, but not bad results either.



Cheers

any more feedbacks? 3dmark06 anyone?

 

Stalker now crashes on boot.

get the following error XRay Engine

XR_3DA.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION in module "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CTDPROXY.DLL" at 001B:02D1AB04

Edit: Not looking good. Ghost Recon AW won't boot either.

Look above.

Do these support SLI?

 

what are these cards supposed to be?

 

Current 8800 system I have in my posession.

Intel core 2 duo E6320 @ 2.8ghz
8800GTS 320mb @ stock

97.94
3dmark05 - 14843
3dmark06 - 8611
sm2.0 - 3705
sm3.0 - 3700
cpu - 2468

158.16
3dmark05 - 14829
3dmark06 - 8610
sm2.0 - 3695
sm3.0 - 3699
cpu - 2480

 

um of course its true!

the dang 8600 is supposed to be released the 17th a store in australia was selling em early (started yesterday) google it you will see.

so this driver came with the 8600 video card and i dont know about you all but when i got my 8800 all the drivers were on the cd (minus vista of course cause it wasnt rtm till late january)

so i know that 8600s cd has all the drivers

no one cares about us x64 people that is why they didnt up it

 

what were your scores with the previous drivers?

 

Can we get some confirmation from the original uploader on this? Or do we not know who that is? If not than I will cry. :cry:

 

An update, been running Stalker for over 30 minutes now with no crashes. Performance is up a bit too, but nothing amazing. I'm assuming it was nhancer that caused the crash, maybe a clash with the driver settings or something.

 

My previous drivers were XtremeG 101.02

3DMark06

SM2.0 5333
HDR/SM3.0 5273
CPU Score 5116

Total 13185.

Thought the XG were pretty good drivers, but these latest are an improvement.

Regards Games crashing at boot, I believe this is to do with X-FI drivers. Will uninstall, driveclean and install the bare minimum. Should fix it fingers crossed.

wow, 500 point improvement over the "banned" drivers to think they already give a performance boost! this is a must try then

That article should clear up your question. Its pretty much the "class" of video card, or what core it is.

 

Yeah, I was kind of surprised too, but whatever
