New Nvidia beta drivers 169.1

JAMerica · 10-27-2007, 09:35 AM

Solved many problems for me in Vista64 with an 8800 GTS

I can even crank the view distance up without much penalty in fps

Thanks for the heads up. Im still on XP but my 8800GTS has benefited from every new release so far.

I had installed that a day or two before the new nvidia drivers came out and didn't notice any change...it's definitely the new drivers that have improved performance in my case:

It's always good to keep up to date though

I have tried out 169.04 beta and it causes graphical problems at night. Once the sun is up it seemed fine. There is a new driver out 169.09 but it is pretty much geared towards fixing Crysis issues so it may have the same problem as .04. I have reinstalled 163.75 to see how things work.

yes I also had problems with mine, when I would boot up after the install my screen would go blurry and lock up and when I tried to reboot in safe mode it would not allow me to so I reverted back also to the 163.75

One step forward two steps back it seems with these 88 series cards and Arma for me at least. I have about a 95% chance of crashing, freezing or graphical problems with Arma currently.

I also went back to the 163.75, I had too many issues with SLI and ArmA on the new ones.
