If Vista and you game, then yes.

some1 on gta forum said they did this on xp and couldnt see any noticable gains - wats the difference that it should work with vista?

Shouldn't the title read Nvidia 180.84 hotfix drivers.

ppl on the gta froum are saying its improveing their framerates by 10

True I have just installed these on a friends comp
and the have gone up by 9fps :eek:

KEEPERS

Nice, hopefully Rockstar also bring out a patch for GTA IV to sort out it's issues. I really want to get it but it sounds like a bit of a crappy port

LoadsaMoney · 6 Dec 2008 at 00:50

Apparently you can force AA on through the Nv CP in these.

quantumfactor · 6 Dec 2008 at 01:03

wow huge performence increase - able to change render from medium to high with no glitches like before

Neil79 · 6 Dec 2008 at 01:07

They did sod all for me in game performance wise and stuttering...

Back to 180.60!

EDIT : Checked the GTA forums and most are getting a slight increase to none at all , a minority are getting 10fps. But all this is benchmark rubbish not in game

helmutcheese · 6 Dec 2008 at 03:33

Nvidia can't fix a bad port for you.

mmj_uk · 6 Dec 2008 at 09:36

I would imagine these just add SLI support, 180.48 didn't have any problems aside from the usual multi-GPU compatiblity problems.

Tried these with GTA and got a 2fps increase in the benchmark, and in-game they definetly gave a higher fps. Unfortunately they also gave a lower min fps over the 178.13's i was running, and have returned to. The 178.13's just give a much more consistant framerate for me (old drivers - go figure :confused:

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,...raphics_cards_cause_crashes_-_patch_en-route/

Don't worry ATi will get their hotfix out as well, its just swings and roundabouts, as ATi had the first FarCry 2 hotfix driver out before Nvidia.

Bit of a kick in the balls though, one of their own TWIMTBP games not supporting SLi upon release, only ATi's Xfire, so im not surprised they got their hotfix driver so out quick.

Still got to hand it to them, its excellent support that, you know you can't fault Nvidia, always coming up trumps, well done guys.
