I would'nt doubt it for a second. They rush out to rewrite the same files on older drivers

 

[UglyChild]

Hmm.. i got a bit of performance hit in CSS.

 

[nd4spdbh2]

hmm... i have to reformat this weekend (bad virus ) and if ppl are gettin performance hits with this driver iono if i should install.

How is the performance of these drivers compared to previous? General thoughts work, not necessary to post 3DMarks if you haven't done them.


Also, and more important to my dorky life, any chance it fixed the cluster**** of crashes in Vanguard? If it fixed the crashes, I will take some performance degradation.

 

[Tyranos]

No one else has tried these?

I'm still waiting for exciting words of praise on this driver. Currently I'm running 97.92 on XP with no issues other than one that annoys me: no fixed aspect ratio option for 8800's. This is the most rediculous bug I've yet to see on a video driver. I even tried powerstrip and it's not even compatible with the 8800 cards, and offer nothing by way of custom timings.

Can someone please save me the heartburn and try the fixes aspect ratio of these new drivers? I don't want to go through the pain if it's not going to do any good.

Man...... so much time for a new driver, and they don't even list this as a "known issue" for single cards. Yet, the do for SLI mode. Humph......Obviously they're not reading any forums, nor do they even attempt to own up to this serious POS bug.

 

[xenocross]

im using it, gaved me a little performence in cod2..

 

[Hardin]

I'm just glad they have a new driver on their website. I am very disappointed in Nvidia's drivers these days.

 

[Maviryk]

I'm using it... don't really notice a difference.

But newer is always better right?

 

[Hardin]

New Coke wasn't better or so I've been told.

 

[lekyiscool]
