[Superfly]

sweet dude - thanks.

don't think these are whql, theres no cat file. these are probably just
whql candidates right?

[cfao]

Still no 84.xx for x64 :(

[SLippe]

don't think these are whql, theres no cat file. these are probably just
whql candidates right?
It says...

* This driver is WHQL certified for all GeForce 7 series and a limited number of GeForce 6 series GPUs.

yet there is no .cat file

I don't believe these are WHQL. WHQL non-certified during install.

[RanCorX2]

which is what i said above ^.

[Zandig]

Installed them.
Warned me that they were NOT whql for my 6800gts.
Probably identical to the 84.20 betas.

[PSYCHODAD]

And I was agreeing with you.

[Jimi]

And I was agreeing with you.

Yes i spoke to someone at nvidia pr. They are getting it fixed. Just a simply packaging problem.

[RejZoR]

I just hope they fixed the CS:S water shore rendering glitch...

I just hope they fixed the CS:S water shore rendering glitch...

I'd be happy with just a 64 bit version.
Come on nv you knobheads..........................:thumbdwn:

[Quick420]

I d/loaded the ones from nvidia.com and dxdiag says WHQL Logo'd:No

[billos]

wtf ?? Windows is insulting me about no-WHQL drivers during the
install of the 84.21 WHQL !

Nvidia is just becoming comic with its drivers releases... :thumbdwn:

[Vengeance]

Why is it such a big deal if they a WHQL or not?

[Q]

Those two extra little screens you have to actually click something are just TOO MUCH. Damn that dirty Nvidia for giving us broken drivers! BrokeN! I can't click an extra two times!

BROKEN!

;)

I like the WHQL. It makes them feel secure, even though I know there is going to be ZERO difference between these and 84.20....well...since it doesn't have the one change that makes it .21 I guess they really are .20 in reality, aren't they?

[Peoples-Agent]

WHQL is a pointless sucky exercise, and basically means the drivers adhere to a boring code most likely limiting their true potential.

Thus people tend to pull off better results with Beta drivers.

[billos]

I like WHQL drivers cuz it proves that Nvidia gives some more money to
Micro**** ! :p :p :p

[RaZ0r!]

Yep, I got the message they are non-WHQL on my machine as well.

Also creating new game profiles is broken. When you create a new profile and try to add a new .exe, like hl.exe, it fails to add the .exe to the profile. I tried re-installing them, same thing.

Went back to 81.98 and it works fine. I'll have to skip this release.

[Darkoz]

The driver has been updated to correctly show WHQL.
From nVidia's website........

"Updated March 17, 2:00 PM PST: Fixed drivers to correctly include the WHQL certification. "

So if you want WHQL, you'll need to download the driver again.

So, how are they? Are these the magic Oblivion drivers or can we expect another set around March 20-22?
