nVidia_64 beat you by a small revision

Sudden_SD · 2 May 2007 at 18:09

Thanks for the heads up, although i am just going to wait untill people have used them and see what they say.

Not WHQL, got a warning during setup.

Got tons of file copy errors during setup.

No corruption in Windows like with the last ones, finally some good news.

1:1 pixel mapping is still utterly broken.

Nvidia are absolutely ******* tripe at drivers.

LoadsaMoney · 2 May 2007 at 18:16

Yeah well done Nvidia, apparently these are screwed for 32bit XP, ppl are reporting errors during install asking for XP 64, keeps asking for XP 64 driver library install disc WTF!!!! another quality Nvidia release it seems, you can always trust Nvidia to do decent drivers.

Indeed....thanks for the info Loadsa. I will stick with the 158.19 which took me an age to get working in sli with ntune and rivatuner. (need ntune to overclock my cpu).

n3x · 2 May 2007 at 18:23

not worth the download then?

Firegod · 2 May 2007 at 18:23

Yeah cheers, I was going to grab these but think I'll stick with the 158.19 one's.

LoadsaMoney · 2 May 2007 at 18:26

Apparently the 67 odd mb international download set work, i may as well try em out.

Darkwave · 2 May 2007 at 18:28

They can't even get the ******* supported list right.

Nvidia said:
Product Support List Windows XP 32-bit – 158.22

GeForce 8300 GS
GeForce 8400 GS
GeForce 8500 GT
GeForce 8600 GT
GeForce 8600 GTS
GeForce 8800 GTS
GeForce 8800 GTS
GeForce 8800 Ultra

So 8800GTS is supported twice as much and the GTX isn't supported t all I guess. :rolleyes:

NVIDIA_x64 · 2 May 2007 at 18:29

I have vista x64 and XP x64 in dual boot and I have just upgraded from 6800 GS in SLI to a 8800 GTS 320mb and I am also Getting file copy errors Nvidia are **** for drivers and great for hardware That no ******* good at the moment I am wising I did not make the move to a 8800 coz of the drivers.

LoadsaMoney · 2 May 2007 at 18:30

Did you grab the English US ones from the Primary Download.

lay-z-boy · 2 May 2007 at 18:44

These drivers are crap, my card isn't even supported ffs! :mad:

sunlitsix · 2 May 2007 at 18:56

i dont think there is any support for the 8800BBQ

LoadsaMoney · 2 May 2007 at 19:25

UPDATE:

Downloaded and installed the International Driver set which is 67.6mb, and they went in fine, no errors at all.

LoadsaMoney · 2 May 2007 at 19:41

Just tried a few games, all run great still , Fear went up from a maximum of 234fps to 241, also tried Stalker, CoD2, Oblivion, all ran great with no issues at all, looks like another decent set so they'll do me.

Oops, should have edited post above, nvm.

james.miller · 2 May 2007 at 19:42

ill be happen when they release drivers that support both my 8800gtx AND my 7300gt lol.

Heck even im chuckling

Gonna see if they have bothered to enable Dual view properly so I can finaly enjoy my TV output properly... doubt it though.

Vogon · 2 May 2007 at 19:53

Best ones yet Loadsa ?
If nvidia are getting on top of their drivers, I may have to re-consider

IQ still as good as 94.xx ? speeds good ? no game issues ?
