As its a bad console port dont cry too much is you get crap FPS on a high end card, look at Rainbow 6 Vegas before many patches.

With the rig in sig, stock CPU (I know, i'll get round to it sooner or later ) 8800GTS 640 at 615/960 (1920) running at 1280x1024, maxed out, FPS is never less than 55. (Am in Pripyat atm) Oh and i am running the Float32 mod too.

Does that sound right? I am very please with how it runs, better than i thought it would.

The Float32 mod helps, i noticed quite a difference with it.

Screeny below i know i am looking slightly upwards but its the only shot i got atm.

Any good stuff for a 6800gs (&vista x64) user like me with these drivers, btw they seem to have been taken down by nvidia and guru3d, anywhere I can get em still?

" Due to a problem with the v162.15 Windows XP and Windows XP 64-bit Beta drivers, they have been removed for download. We will be replacing these drivers with new fixed drivers shortly."

The Vista ones were pulled the day before the XP ones BTW.

These Beta 162.15 (vista 64bit) has been working fine here so far....

LoadsaMoney · 4 Jul 2007 at 21:53

Even Guru3D has pulled em now as well, wish they would hurry up and get em sorted, i thought they would have by now, i fancy giving em a try.

wellibob · 4 Jul 2007 at 21:56

162.15 has worked perfect here since installing them !, dunno what the fuss was about. No issues at all on vista 32 thankgod !

Noxis · 4 Jul 2007 at 21:57

Is the only problem with DX10 games?

Jokester · 4 Jul 2007 at 21:58

As far as I could tell DX9 worked better, seemed it just borked DX10 stuff.

Every DX10 game or demo works on my 8800GTS , must be a hardware conflict with some other components is all i can think of, or they got bored of the numbering system

Seems allot of people are getting better performance in LP DX10 with these, but did they not have a date from 2006 on them??
