Be strange to not support there main card ;)
 
Couldn't say if they are the best ones yet, certainly as good as the 158.19's though, but these may have a few extra fixes over those seen as they've just been released.

Iq is spot on, as is the speed, only tried a few games so far but all running great with no issues at all. :)

Even i can't believe i said that above. :eek: :D

2x decent sets of drivers from Nvidia, what are the chances of that. :eek:

You are having a dream ?? any minute now Christina Milian will knock on the door with a sparkle in her eyes and sing dip it low ... then you know it can't be true :D

Ill check back on this thread on the 14th and see if it helps any desicions :p
 
Be much better if ATi would release a new card around the same time as they do, then they'll sling drivers out straight away, instead of making us wait 6 months down the line for ATi to release a card then start slinging new drivers out every hr. :p

Lets hear it for ATi, getting Nvidia to start releasing drivers by having a new card iminent, thanks ATi, if it wasn't for you's about to release a new card we would still be sitting here with no driver support. *CHEERS*

Ok they have finaly fixed the dualview/TV out Overlay bug!

I can now watch my movies/dvds onto the TV/second display....

Correction, had codec issue videos playback is fine, good job Nvidia, just keep doing it/ still it required the use of hacked original old control panel since the new one forgets my TVoutput is enabeled.... vista drivers still to check !

Trying now!

All 100 sseries appear to have broken quicktime direct draw acceleration for me, quicktime embedded content crash all *** time unless I disable DD accel in quicktime options - all other videos work fine however and quicktime HD files work fine too.
 
using 158.19 here cant even load ntune, just get a message to visit nvidia site hence i use riva tuner for my overclocking, 8800gts@620/980 good for most games i play @1680x1050 on medium to high settings
 
Just used on HL2 an a bug i posted was fixed when V-sync was enabled,

Im Glad they have finally put in an automated uninstaller too, should lead to less problems when new drivers are released,

IMO nvidia have turned the corner driver wise, most of the issues were down to the new vista structure anyway. Well done NV :D

What excactly is the problem?

I ask because I want to connect my computer to my new 40" 1080p LCD and was wondering if I will get problems as well? (my LCD does have a Full Pixel option for excact 1:1 pixel mapping)

Yes thats right as nTune isn't part of the drivers, it tells you to go to the Nvidia site to download it. :)

Does the control panel still crash when editing profiles like the 158.19 drivers?
Click to expand...

That only happened to me because there were still remnants of the previous driver in my system. Once I cleaned those out and reinstalled 158.19 ran with no issues regarding the control panel.
