Nvidia Forceware Quadro Driver 265.90 WHQL

[bee]

tried them and they broke 3D completely, it went through the usual 3D setup process then switched to 3D vision discover halfway through and always started up using discover on every game, no matter what i tried. went back to 263.00

I assume these are different to the normal drivers, but how? Is it worth installing them instead?

Geforce drivers are optimised for games

Quadro are professional cards.....a tool for a job, which usually means they are heavily optimised for packages like SolidWorks, AutoCAD and Adobe CS products.

Quadro cards are built solely by Nvidia to ensure quality.

The GPU's are usually cherry picked and tested to run under heavy load 24/7 365. The PCB, memory (sometimes buffered) etc are all usually enterprise grade (server) components.

Your the first to report that , oh well

Just a headsup, had a lot of trouble with these on GTX280 W7 64bit. Kept locking up in Mafia2 with garbled display every few mins so rolled back to 263.09.

Seems issues are sporadic , ah well if it works use em if they don't roll back

These drivers really are the dogs ******, been playing so many games since they first came out and never skipped a beat. It's so nice to have high quality mkv movies completely smooth and smooth gameplay.

Also nvidia tech guru just posted this on the nvidia forums

If you want to use a modded 265.90 driver, that should be ok. The upcoming driver won't be much different from that one.

So there you have it , the upcoming desktop drivers wont be much different to these modified ones . Oh and apart from a few issues just like here, most on guru3D highly rate this driver and have no problems!

The Quadro drivers are not that much older than the drivers which will be released so the performance people are seeing with the modified Quadro 265.90 drivers are what you will see with the official Geforce drivers. There were some optimizations that were made when tweaking Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that should improve performance of other CPU heavy games on older CPUs.

These have fixed my 1080/24 issue.

Best. Drivers. Ever!

 

[CaptainFail!]

These drivers have given me a nice boost in BC2, can't complain for free!

 

[Neil79]

These drivers are very hit and miss for 460GTX owners, just a warning

Hi, new here and to all this modding stuff - has anyone had any luck getting this driver to work with the GTX 570? I've tried both International and EnglishUS files, as well as inf files from other sources all with no luck. When I launch the installer I'm told each time that I don't have compatible hardware. Do I need to uninstall the old driver first?

Thanks in advance for your help.
