Official Nvidia 162.18's released XP/2000

[Greenboi]

Wonder if these have that memory flush problem fix that was said to be this month, nah come on its Nvidia, should know by now.

I read the notes and it didnt say anything about it.. im sticking with the betas for now (since my pc is a bit buggerd anyways)

The release notes state they are XP x64 as well...

Wow, good spot! I was wondering why they hadn't updated the x64 pages for ages... maybe the new XP releases are unified for x32 and x64? Cool

Cheers,

Suman

No wonder my DivX videos use so much CPU - theres no hardware acceleration! I'm going back to the 93s...

You should have no issues with mpeg4, what did you do before 6800's with no purevideo ?.

No Nvidia driver has ever had mpeg4 accelleration... i think

It wasn't mpeg4...a regular divx video shouldn't be using 40% CPU, and it wasn't with older drivers.

forgive the question

but have the troubles with Vista drivers and Nvidia cleared up now ?

ive got an X1900 XT, and one of the reasons ive put off upgrading to an 8800 (or 9800, not sure if ill wait or not) is that the vista driver support for nvidia seemed to be quite poor on vista release. Pages of complaints

take it thats all sorted now then ?

mostly, still a decrease in performance if you ask me.

I would have to agree with you I am on a 8800 and 6800 SLI in my other system they both run a bit crap on vista but run very nice on XP X64

If you're using Vista I wouldn't bother.

The nVidia driver packages seem to work differently on different computers with the same cards, if you post a thread asking what the best Vista nVidia drivers are, you'll probably get about half a dozen different responses.

nVidia are level with ATi for XP drivers, but in Vista, not so much.
