Wow! I ran 3D05 with the 71.90's and a 600/1215 OC. I got a 3977. Then I rolled back to these 71.84 official release drivers and ran it at 605/1220 and got a 4237!
 
the grass bug in Aztec: CSS map is gone. Temp bug still there. Idles at 58 degrees.

Was at 52 degress with 66.93. IQ looks pretty good. Don't see the choppy problems i had with 75.90. Benching mark03 and mark 03 now.
 
okay temp prob is there. but people were saying that it doesnt actually raise the temps right? and it shows 8-10deg more then the 66.93's do. well i hope so anyhow, cause my idle is at 63, which is not cool :(. anyway testing 3DMark05
 
Temperature rise is real. The temp bug is the temperature rise itself. That's why it affects the highest o/c of your vid card.

Just completed 3dmark03. I got 200pts more. So far so good.
 
Huh, I had noticed my temps drop a bit with the 71.90 driver, used to max about 90-91C on the 66.93's, then fell to about 84-86C with the 71.90's. Then I changed the cooling, but the 71.84's seem to have the same temps as the 71.90's with my new cooling. Peaks of about 72C, usually at about 68C under load.
 
I'm going to stick with the newer 71.90WHQL Drivers...on sense taking a step back as I have not had any issues with the newer drivers (aside from higher FPS!) :D
 
I will play with it a little while first. So far, I think this is better than 66.93. Hopes this keeps up.
 
I just install the new driver, the temp now is up tp 50C idle.before it was 43C..
It will fix in next driver,, but dont know when will the next driver be released...
6 month?? lol
 
NVTweak doesnt work with these drivers does it? Is there a new version of it you have to download too? Or is there something else I can use to OC. I dont even know what speeds my card is at right now. =\
 
being Fairly new to nvidia again, Can you install these drivers over the old driver? I Know you can do this with DNA and Omegas. I Know you have to completely remove ATI drivers when upgradeing, But what about nvidia? I Just got my duel displays working right LOL. dont wanna mess it up.

Showed more improvement with this driver than the 71.90WHQL. about 300 points in 01, 03 3dmarks. only 2 hundred in 05.
 
I'm new to nVidia drivers as well. Can anyone tell me where the refresh lock is? I just had to install some software (RefreshLock) to fix the stupid 60hz bug but I'd rather just have it fixed by the driver if possible.
 
Why are you complaining about the temps being 60°C or so. I believe the Cores are rated to 125°C so there is no problem with 60°C.
