Wow, it's raining drivers! Thanks. :)

[EverGreen]

That's a good mother gift for my mom on Sunday... thanks for the share (nana2)

[jaws]

Does that mean good or bad??

Some folks over @tweaksrus are reporting a good FPS boost with these. Check it out here:http://www.tweaksrus.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5521

Crap! Just installed the other ones last night. *sigh* I'll probably give these a go. I've always been one to have the latest version, not the latest by date. *shrugs*

Thx RejZor,
Right off the bat the IQ in FEAR is better for me than the 8708's. Haven't played much but they seem as smooth too.

In FEAR with fresh installs and default settings on-

8708 35/50/115 0/23/77

8725 34/50/115 0/21/79

Overall smooth, thx!

[saturnotaku]

Custom resolutions work, OpenGL performance and IQ are both good, and SiN Episodes seems to run fine as well. I think I'll be keeping these.

[nVidiaGuru]

the're fast and good IQ but i cant get the profiles to work correctly. AA and AF default back to application control and color correction wont stay applied either

back to 84.26

[kam03]

OMG these drivers are AWESOME!!!.

A scene on oblivion i use to get 15 FPS, now i get 33 FPS with these drivers.

[Banko]

I have never seen so many profiles in a driver. Which is a good thing because I'm lazy to make them :)

Whats the word on episodes and the built in profile?

thx.
The built-in profile still points to sin.exe.

[Greasy]

The built-in profile still points to sin.exe.

So if I don't create a new one it's not using SLI correctly? Sorry for the newb question, but I just got around to going SLI.

[OWA]

Correct, it'll default to SFR mode if you don't do anything and it should be using a form of AFR. Just modify the profile and make it point to SinEpisodes.exe. It currently is looking for Sin.exe.

Edit: Or, you can just create a new profile like you suggested and make it point to SinEpisodes.exe. BTW, in case you want to modify the profiles manually at some point or override some of the predefined SLI modes, all the settings are stored in this file: c:\windows\system32\nvapps.xml. The utility nHancer allows you to override predefined modes as well and is probably a little more user friendly.

[Greasy]

Thanks for the help OWA. (urock)

[OWA]

No problem. :)

[sniggle]

These drivers have been fine for me. 87.08 caused a crash with nwiz.exe for me, these do not. GRAW seems to be running the smoothest it ever has.

[iamhurtin]

can any1 test the tv-out for me and tell me if half the screen is still missing?

[OWA]

the're fast and good IQ but i cant get the profiles to work correctly. AA and AF default back to application control and color correction wont stay applied either

Try clicking apply just after you set them. I've seen some of this as well if I change all the options and just apply at the end. If I click apply just after setting AA or AF, it seems to stick. I still get a warning about the profile needing to be saved when I changed to another profile though even though I have already saved the previous one.

[nekrosoft13]

these drivers are missing something

[Salamandar]

No windows XP 64bit ??!!?!?!?

Nvidia seems to turn it's head away from us :( :thumbdwn:
