Nvidia 177.26 out :)

[Alexrose1uk]

Couldnt see these posted immediately so thought I'd mention it.

They were originally leaked by Asus and are intended for the new GTX260/280 cards however have been modified to work on all (simple display .inf mod) recent Nvidia cards.

I'm unsure of how much of an improvement they give in most games however I can confirm they gave me an approximately 10% fps boost in AoC with my 8800GTS 512 and seem to have made texture loading much snappier which is great

Link to download for drivers and modded .inf:

Hope these help others

Been using these for nearly a week now, a great set of drivers. Not encountered any real problems so far. Though DVC greys out when you enable sli on my m1730 but you can still set it before you enable sli.

i should get these later today then...

hopefully they'll install...

With the modded .inf they installed flawlessly for me on Vista 64 which is often the most awkward

After a couple of Black screens of death and BSODs I reverted back to 175.16 on Vista 64. This was while playing Grid though. It has been faultless on 175.16, almost.

So how do I got about installing this for my 8800GT?

 

[Defiance_co]

So far 177.35 modded vista x64 inf has been great

But may drop back to 177.34 if i find a problem

im confused im using 175.16 checked again and on the nvidia website drivers and there is no new ones so what the heck is 175.24 and 175.35 beta drivers that people mod them selfs ? what should i use

 

[Defiance_co]

Hiya,
OK easiest to do is this....

On desktop make a folder eg: vista x86 177.35

Then right mouse click on driver (the usual blue icon) and extract to the folder you made

Then copy modded .INF and paste into that folder, Allow overwrite

You now have modded .INF for driver in your chosen OS

I rar folder after and upload to online file storage
