Just waiting on the inf's to use them on other cards and yes that does work for most

Any point in using these on Geforce cards.

Any point in using these on Geforce cards.

not a case of any point. they just won't work.

Newer than the beta's , to be honest you may get better frame rates and games work that didn't before. But as these are inf modified i don't know

not a case of any point. they just won't work.

What a load of rubbish , inf modified quadro drivers always work

 

[Rroff]

It may mess up (only while using these drivers) SLI configuration for some users (minority).

If your having issues worth giving it a try - otherwise I'd wait for the GeForce WHQLs.

 

[Neil79]

I'm going to try them now , will report back shortly!

quadro drivers are for quadro cards. they will be optimised to work with quadro cards.

why would you use a quadro driver for a geforce card? no point at all. and the chance that something won't work is higher.

 

[Neil79]

Not going to argue with you , don't want to use them then don't!

Some of the best drivers have been quadro's

 

[RavenXXX2]

With Nvidia using a unified driver, will Geforce optimization in current WHQL or betas drivers be in the quadro drivers.

 

[Rroff]

There isn't a straight forward answer to that - depends on too many features, etc.

 

[Neil79]

Furmark , Heaven , Vantage i've lost a frame here or there , nothing to worry about
Games all working fine

You need to say quadro one more time.

Do you have Mass Effect?

If so, do these drivers cure the graphical glitches that the 260.63 beta's cause?

 

[Neil79]

Sorry no i don't have it

 

[Kelt]

Sorry no i don't have it

No worries, I'm sure it'll be fixed in the WHQL's.
