Get it here

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1595

For 8800's but this DL comes with a modded INF.

EDIT just tried to install them and get a missing file error. I'm not the only one either, though some seem to be running it ok.

Just trying another DL location.

OK no go with those either :( ...if anyone finds a fix please post it.

You tried this thats on there :-

Attention read this : the setup.exe is broken, you need to install these drivers the old-school way; thus:

> Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Display Adapters > your graphics card > Driver > and hit Update

Then point to to directory where you extracted the files.
 
Yes there was also an incorrectly name file, which has now been fixed on the Guru download.

I manually installed them on a 7600gt and they seem to work ok. Rivatuner won't work with them, so if you use that to oc, you'll need to find something else, like ATI tool.

BUT these do seem a bit of a mess and will go back to the 97.92's.

Drivers work fine for me, had to remove the ones I had installed first however.

Anwyays 3D Mark score increased slightly but is negligible really! (8693) I think some of the issues with games are now gone like in RotWK where I was seeing random textures in game. They are now disappeared.

Drivers seem solid enough so I will keep them on.

And the NVidia control panel works fine for me.

One critisism is that Riva Tuner doesnt work with them. However Ati Tool 0.26 works perfectly fine with them! :D
 
Okay, a mixed bag for me.

They seem faster (5 - 10% in most things), and they remove some graphical issues. However, the overclocking seems 'broken'.

Before, I used to run at clocks of 650/2100 without issue. I could pass the test in the nvidia control panel, and run 24/7 without artifacts. Now, I can't even pass the test at stcok, and when I autodetect it gives me a GPU clock of 520mhz (which actually fails when I do 'test').

Rivatuner doesn't have the clocking utility, so any suggestions as to what I can use to bring the beat back to what it was?


EDIT - nevermind, ATI tool seems to work okay. This is the first time I've tried using ATI tool with a nvidia card... much better and more precise than ntune anyway, even if it worked properly.

Sure you're not running dx_level 81 still?
 
How do you make your oc stick with ATI Tool ver 0.27?...I assume you need to update the profile, but it won't let me...the default profile cannot be overwritten...is the message I get.

Help please.
