|
 |
I have a new PC coming tomorrow, and its got a 8800 GTX on it. Since I have been reading a lot of crap about Nvidia drivers lately, I was wonderin if anyone could link me to the newest stable drivers for Vista 32 bit, or any place that regularly posts 'em.
Thanks.

Yeah, but will installing this:
ForceWare 162.22 Vista 32-bit WHQL
cause any problems? Thats my question. How to tell which drivers cause probs, and which don't.

Never really had any issues with any drivers for the last 1-2 months.
But I play mainly SH4 
tested some other games like Ghost Recon 2 etc and no issues there.
Vista Ultimate, EVGA 8800GTX

Good question. Unfortunately one that you wont get answered except by trying em out, differs by mileage and all that. Nvidia is really spotty with drivers. The latest beta ones I dl'd seem to work pretty well tho.
Core i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz | 6GB OCZ DDR3 8-8-8-24 @ 1600mhz | eVga x58 Mobo | 2 x eVga GTX 460 SLI | Intel X25-M + 3x Seagate + WD Black = 2.75TB | X-Fi Titanium | PCP&C Silencer 750 | G15 KB | G5 Mouse | G35 Headset | Z-5500 Digital | Samsung T260HD

I'm using the 163.11 for Vista and 162.18 for XP. Both are fine.

163.11 are known to produce artifacts in games like: "Tes IV Oblivion, Rainbow Six: Vegas" Also they have a memory leak causing some games to crash after a while 1 hour +
162.22 are the most stable right now, they don't produce artifacts but they can cause crashing, nvd3dl error being the most common. |
