Rubbish thread title though :thumbdwn:

No change in World In Conflict demo
Dirt still guff, SLI bars barely off the middle and dont move much
more games to follow

remember that this updates DX10 only

World in conflict was in dx10 mode

AVG 28fps before and after patch

Bugger, I was hoping to update my directx7 in vista :(

KB sounds rather black and white, like it should either work or won't, so I would guess that if SLI works for you then you won't need this hotfix?

Vista detects I have two 7800s no problem.

edit: This video card uses multiple graphics processing units (GPUs).
So maybe only cards such as the 7950 were affected?

I have stopped having "driver stopped responding" errors with the 163.11s since installing this patch

Lol..the other topic is a bit not clear, but i thought this patch was global fix.

I will definitely have to give this a try when I get home to see if it stops for me as well.

If this fixes the nvlddmkm issues I'm gonna name my next kid 'Article 936710'.

I have a feeling your next child will be named BSOD or nvlddmkm. :captnkill:

Just downloaded x86 and x86-64 versions from Microsoft website (Premier Offerings): this one definitively does not affect DX9 performances.

Had no effect for me on BF2. While BF2 FPS was 30-40, the frames were very laggy, unlike on XP which is smooth. SLI Bars are showing, but they seem very weak.

;) I'm guessing thats more likely.

Installed the hotfix--no errors yet (but I've been w/o errors since going back to 158.45) and 3dMark06 score was about 100pts lower than before. No big deal, but no SLI improvements at all. I did try changing the SLI rendering mode to AFR1 as well as single.

It doesn't. I wish it did. I have had it on my SLI rig for about a month now.

But then the only SLI system I see in your sig has cards with single gpus ?
