New NVidia Drivers

I wonder if this fixes the laggy crap in Civ3. One way to find out!

This is funny. The leaked drivers of yore (remember 12.90? I'm running those) are more stable than what NVidia officially releases. I'm at a loss to explain why.

Cool...these fixed one of my peeve bugs....before I would have to manually reset my "color correction" settings every time I came out of suspend or hibernate mode...now it works perfectly.....

anyone have a link that works to the new sb drivers talked about here, there server must only have room for 2 users/

fucking son of a bitch, I went back to the 23.10's and reinstalled coolbits and it still fucking doesn't work. Goddamn Nvidia, these aren't WHQL drivers so why the fuck did they kill coolbits? If I want to overclock my fucking card what do they fucking care? They don't sell cards, they sell chips.

YAY! XP might actually be stable for me now (although I sincerely doubt it)

hahah ahh sweet revenge is here....
turnabout is fair play i say.... so here goes nothing

"OMFG NVIDIA DRIVERS FUCKING SUCK SHIT!!! ATI OWNZ J00!!!"



hehehhe =P

\\HAWKEYE has been up for: 10 day(s), 11 hour(s), 20 minute(s), 54 second(s)

every fucking time >:(

I installed these drivers, and when i tried quakeworld, it would automatically reboot my comp, so i rolled back to the old drivers ;(

are these worth installing if you have a gf2?

coolbits doesn't work with these so back to the 23.10's

My Computer seems to run faster with the new drivers

anyone know if theres a way to disable hardware T&L in opengl? or does that need to be supported by the app/game?

Should I install the drivers or not

6.44MB? Nigga, please.

Ok This is really starting to piss me off, Every driver 22.xx and up totaly hoses D3D on my
system unless I turn off V-SYNC. Anybody else have a system like mine?

T-Bird 1.2
Abit-kt7a-r
256mb cas 2
Sb audigy x-gamer
Win98se
latest drivers for sound and video.
DirectX 8.1 (tried 8.0 as well and same problem)

Good game to test if you have it is AVP2, to test try turning V-SYNC on
in d3d and watch the opening videos, the fox interactive logo totally freezes
up and get all stuttery. Also the fog rolling by in the options menu is very
jerky. Doesn't happen with the 21.xx or lower drivers and the only way I've found
to fix it is to run Det destroyer before i switch back to older drivers or the older
ones will do the same thing. Could it be a reg key somewhere thats not getting changed
when i downgrade the drivers but Det destroyer wipes out? I've tried all the diffrant
things i can find and i've got riva tuner and NVmax and nothing seems to fix it except
using older drivers.

3 or 4 more frames per second in IL-2 Sturmovik. That's pretty substantial to me.

+2 fps in Q3 woohoo !

W2K - P3800@896 - GF3 Ti200@215/485 - Q3 1.30 @ 1024 and UGLY MODE SETTINGS:
2183 drivers = 153.2
2311 drivers = 151.8

I'll have to try them in purdy mode and see if they shine then...

My system dies after about a minute with these ones, other people get it too. Turning off fast writes was suggested too, but I had loaded up some other betas anyway :)

These drivers came out for Linux last week. OMG. A Linux release BEFORE the windows release. HeHaw!

Anyway, many Linux users are reporting substantial speed increases at higher resolutions.

Good luck, Windows gamers!

Off to do some testing :-)

What's the WDM driver?

No benchmarks yet?

Slackers.

Do they fix the Civ3 map-scrolling bug?

'leaked' heh.
