Nice spot but think I'll stick with the official 163.11 BETA's for now.

Datamonkey · 6 Aug 2007 at 14:47

The 32bit XP version is working fine for me, no noticable differance over the official set, but I don't have much to test with installed right now.

No disasters anyway..

Datamonkey: it took me four attempts to get the 32bit version.. no doubt Guru3d will have them up soon and give a reliable download.

Nvidia's driver releases are like Haleys comet coming round, as it takes em about that long.

There seems to have been quite a few just lately - I never notice much differance anyway, but then I only have a 7600gt

Just reinstalled Rainbow Six Vegas to try out the map pack and the latest patch..not sure wheather it's the patch or the drivers but it does run quite well now, even on my old thing. Anyway some of the new maps look good, so off to have a play.

These seem better than the 163.11's. In Dirt it used to lag for a second or so at the start of races with other cars in front. Doesn't do this now

cool downloading now
