Hey Gurus looking for specific info on my set up (see my rig stats) Im running 182.08 driver , very stable nice . I tried the 185.xx drivers and they just didnt like my set up as well as the 182.08 driver, i had several issues so i went back. my question is this do the 182.xx drivers work better in my 32 bit environment with the s 8800 gt in sli or ,cause the 182.08 driver is very nice to my stuff. im thinking of trying the latest 185.xx\182.xx drivers, can any one with similar rig as mine please give me some info on which driver may work better on my set up. I work 12 hour shifts, Elect. Engineer. (not daily, but when im working all i can do is go home and crash.
The 185.85 drivers caused quite a few problems for many people - especially with older cards. The new 186.08 seems to be a lot better. Besides that, the 182.50 was a very good driver, too.
I've been using both the 180.48 and the 182.50 drivers.. some games just worked better with the other.. Overall the 180.48 driver gave me lesser issues but the 182.50 gave me a little more performance is some games.. To me it seems the more recent drivers in XP give more problems then gains.. that's why I jumped to Windows 7
I've been using 182.50 for a while, very good drivers. Best overall visual quality and frame rate. Stable as rock. But I decided to move on and try the 186.08 because many ppl seemed to be happy with it, and this one has a Prototype profile included. So far so good, I didn't notice any real improvement over the 182.50 except the Control Panel which is running smoother. More SLI profiles are here so I'm happy. I'll stick with them until I get some really bad
