15% increase in cod4? thats massive?

 

[Snakedoctor]

Nice thanks, will give these a whirl tonight, hope it improves Stalker cs as well.

Well I installed these and the control panel would not show
what games i had installed.

So I tried to ADD a game and the control panel crashed on me

Will reinstall and see what happens

I wondered why no release for Warhead.

 

[RaV]

thanks for the link, will install when i get home. nice to see performance boosts but i wonder if ill actually notice any of them

The key words to note are "..up to.."

 

[sir-les-mp]

just installed it and the only difference ive noticed is i can no longer control the fan on my 7900gtx which i could do before hand with the previous set of drivers

If it did I'll give this release a miss & wait for the next one, the .92 beta was nothing but trouble.

 

[Leebone]

Been fine for me so far i installed them last night(177.92)

They share the same release notes so they could be the same not 100% sure

 

[Happy]

Cheers

installed, but having problems
3dmark vantage is fine, but it keeps crashing in 3dmark06. never had a problem with 177.98.

Not ideal but there is no need to ever use 2006 as your obv on Vista with a DX10 card.

2006 never was a good guide to anything anyhow.

admittedly, but it still a decent way to check stabilty of my overclock to an extent.

Always amuses me when new video card drivers are released and the notes basically say, FPS increases in commonly used benchmarking software.

Amazes me peeps comment who don't need these either.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Oh great, I'm ecstatic. Thanks for the heads up though.

Am I right in saying that in the Manage 3D settings the Global
are for single cards and Program settings are for SLI?

Because when I click on ADD a program and try to Add one it crashes.
and I cant find away to fix it.
