The Best Nvidia Drivers Ever!

Scoobie Dave · 14 Mar 2006 at 21:12

Have been using these drivers since yesturday and I have gotta say that these are the best drivers i've had for ages. I mainly play BF2, NFSMW, FEAR and a few others and the framerates are amazing! Everything is so smooth. I urge all people with an Nvidia card to give em a go. . .

Has anyone else had a good experience with these drivers? Or is it just me

Forgot to say, the IQ is really good with these too.

Yeah I'm using 84.20's and got a far better score in 3D mark 05.
They seem a lot better than the ones on the 7900 CD

I tried the Forceware 84.20 from guru3d when they first came out, but they did not work as good as the ones from tweaksrus. Im not sure what they modify but their drivers always seem to work better than the unmodified versions. Its only recently that I have started to use use the Xtreme-G versions - im sticking with them from now on!

Well,

I tried the 84.20's from guru3d and fear was crashing all over the place. thought it was my overclock so slackened everying off....still crashed. Switched back to an older driver and no crashing even when overclocked

These drivers dont seem to like my 7800GT!

Cheers,

Why dont you try the 84.20 Xtreme-G version?

I did not like the unmodified version.

So are these a lot better with Bf2 ? what kind of FPS increase are you getting ?

Hugest_UK · 15 Mar 2006 at 15:56

Hi guys,

Im not sure on the FPS increase, but BF2 is my primary game and this is the best set I have ever had.

Kinetic · 15 Mar 2006 at 16:45

I got a 35 point increase in 3dmark06 lol

35 point increase - better than a kick in the knackers!

Im more interested in game performace these days, and I can tell you that BF2 runs as sweet as ever

Is Euro Forces worth the download?

Kinetic · 15 Mar 2006 at 17:48

yeah its worth the download but not really worth 6 quid imo ,it should have been free content

KizZ · 15 Mar 2006 at 22:44

I should try them out later.

These are great drivers, having a mare trying to find some decent drivers for my 79gt, I gave these a bash, definite IQ improvement.
