Heads-up.

Supposed to be for the G80 but has a modded .inf for other cards. I'm downloading now.

Give us a shout and tell us what you notice

Anyone else willing to be test subjects?

Will do, just installed them now, no problems with that. (Running on a 7800GTX) Control Panel working fine (new version).

I'll try some movie playbacks and some 3DMark, see if I notice any problems.

WesleyBurns · 27 Nov 2006 at 12:51

Vista release?

If you get it working and change the INF, please post.

cheers

I think it's just Windows XP. I don't have Vista to test them on, sorry.

3DMark05 - 8,461
3DMark06 - 4,318

No graphical problems at all. Looked nice.

Played back some DivX films and AVi/MPEG movies in DivX Player and WMP11. No funny colours or image problems either. :cool:

I haven't tried any games yet, but so far so good.

Anyone tried SCDA with these?

dazsly · 27 Nov 2006 at 14:16

3dmark 06 - 8871 with out any oc to gpu

Just downloaded new riva tuner I checked to what the fan spin up rpm on 3d mark with the defaut auto and noticed it stays at 1500rpm @ 57-70c

Now I switched to manual fan speed @ 90% 2500 and temps go down to 52-60 although its abit noiser, the stock fan speeds are not good so I would maually set them.

Firegod · 27 Nov 2006 at 15:08

Another thing to note, the speed of the memory being report was back to "normal". i.e. it's not like reported as double and what have you. So I was able to easily clock the card back to what I run it at.

Everything seems ok so far.

3DMk06 (everything at stock):
97.02: 10,033
97.28: 10,030

No sign of any performance boost, so they're probably just ironing out any bugs in the 97.02s.
The guys who are getting random slowdowns etc, with the 97.02's should try these, to see if they cure any glitches.

Anyone able to test for the "mist" problem in Counterstrike Source? Such as the Dust levels? On an 8800.

Vogon · 27 Nov 2006 at 18:52

Initial indications are the bug changing in/out of qaa seems to have been cleared up, although leaving CP open after changing does kill performance, closing it resumes normal levels ... BTW why have NV gone with this CP stuff like ATI ... I prefer ATI and NV's old CP's a lot more

Yeah I know, some people call that "progress", same people that call in "consultants" to plan their day and carry pagers...

all fluff and no substance

Anyone else trying these?

I tried the spinter cell double agent and I get texture corruption using these drivers.

Also played ms fs x last night and seem to be getting less fps so gonna go back to old drivers.
