Too bad we aren't seeing XP drivers. Sigh.

I'll wait and see, my performance in XP overall is quite abit faster than Vista anyways.

When using these with Vista 32, it appears that forcing v-sync through the cp for the application is actually working with Stalker (hopefully it works with all games just as well).

[spartn117]

hey. can u try battlefield2/2142 to see if the CP forces vsync in that game ?
also, is DV back ?

[toby77jo]

I can confirm so far that both stalker and company of heroes is working with force vsync on in the control panel. This is a keeper!!

[christos]

Sorry, don't have battlefield. I did just try Test Drive Unlimited however, and vsync works when forced. Fraps shows frames anywhere for me from 30 - 60, including all numbers in between...so I'm not sure if it's reporting the fps 100% correctly, but I can tell that vsync is definitely working because TDU had the most visible tearing for me out of all my games, and now it has none.

At this point, I'll assume it works with all games. Finally, no more tearing in Vista.

ntune works again!! gonna try these babies on some games :)

[nekrosoft13]

64bit mirrors please ;)

[Dragunov]

somebody can give feedback about crashes if they got any? :)

[RanCorX2]

i just got my first memory error crash in bf2142, will try that vista tweak again.

[DarkOneX]

OK I'm on lunch break so didn't get much time to play with them, but I will say that it fixed the problem I had where I couldn't run that Vista Peformance Index thingy, it'd crash on the first Direct3D test, now it completed for the first time ever and I got a 5.6 w00t!

Also, I fired up Fear Combat and played a round in Docks, and it ran smooth the whole time, but that map generally did for me. I couldn't find anybody playing in the Factory map which was the most troublesome for me but I joined one that had no peeps in it, and just ran around shooting stuff etc for about 10 minutes and it did NOT do the pause then stutter forever thing that's been plaguing me! I think it may be fixed, but need to play it when there are peeps playing to be sure.

w00t! So far, 2 thumbs up from me for having fixed one thing for sure and possibly Fear Combat!

Thanks for the links. Downloading the x64 version now...

[Uberpwnage]

my download has failed 3 times...

On Vista64 Stalker plays better, noticeably.

DoD:S is smoother also so maybe all Source games are.

TFC plays as good as it ever did, old game but plays great.

So far best drivers yet with the system in my sig.

[nekrosoft13]

DISPLAY SCALING HAS BEEN FIXED ;)

Hold'em game no more flashing text ;)

[badboy64]

How about working HDR+AA in Oblivion?

Actually, there is a way to force it on through a cfg file. I've used it in Vista with previous drivers.

[strang]

Overscan fix? I can only hope.

[AdamK47]

Now we need to see how well it deals with the TDR issues.
