LOL, thought I'd done something wrong.

easyrider · 13 Apr 2006 at 12:24

so are these getting performance gains over the previous sets?

Pretty got Oblivion working nicely you see.How you guinea pigs getting on with them?

Arcane · 13 Apr 2006 at 14:29

There's a proper set up now on nzone that work with the 7900 series, seems people are getting good gains in Tomb Raider and Oblivion, just in time for the Bank Holiday

easyrider · 13 Apr 2006 at 15:12

Just installed them and got a nice boost.
I'm now 64 points short of 12k in 05

Might give them a blast, see how they compare against the tweaked 84.20's I'm running atm.

NVIDIA announced the availability of the ForceWare 84.43 graphics driver for add-in graphics cards based on NVIDIA GeForce graphics processing units (GPUs). This new version includes next-gen performance improvements and a SLI profile for Tomb Raider: Legend and also improvements to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in what concernes the HDR performance.

But they also generally seem to be fast in CS:S and other games. Will get these me thinks!

Could somebody post the release notes? Havent got a .pdf reader at the mo

ultim · 13 Apr 2006 at 19:43

just installed them, dont really notice any difference. Guess you will only see the difference in new games.

metalmackey · 13 Apr 2006 at 20:24

Tomb Raider still runs crap on my system. Not much performance increase, if any.

Issues Resolved in Version 84.43
The following are changes made and issues resolved since driver version 84.25:
• Added SLI profile for Tomb Raider: Legend

Apart from that its just the changelog for previous version.

SiD the Turtle · 13 Apr 2006 at 22:23

Just gave the drivers a shot. A performance increase in Tomb Raider, but not much it has to be said.
