Vista - Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers

oh i c.. so you do think like that.. and ur slammin me.. @$$

ya thats probably why we do get along. lol ur right.. devils Advocate huh.. evil...

ya some prefer eVGA Precision, some lik Riva.. just preference in that area then I guess.. either way it's a good thing to have.. but if Precision does everything it does.. then might as well only have one

My point with Riva Tuner was to see if there is a way to edit the nVidia BIOS *directly* so that I can adjust the temp ranges for fan speeds, and then never have to worry about it in software.

Currently, eVGA Precision works better because it can run at startup without being sidetracked by Defender because it is not a signed app and requires elevated privileges - eVGA Precision starts up normally with all my other startups and gives me the 2 UAC prompts (the other is for the RTSS file, which is used to continually display GA Specs in games...)

In retrospect, I geuss I should be looking at the niBitor software, huh

New nVidia GeForce 200 series driver 177.35 released 6-17-08.

Shawn

Note- Read the first post carefully, everyone - the 177.35 are for the GeForce 200 series only.

Yes the 177.35 are only for the 200 series.. and if anyone has been following the GTX 200's release.. They have not been performing all that amazing. and only slightly beating a 9800GX2.. but this new driver from 177.16 to 177.35 is great.

the .35 version is making these card run MUCH more affective, people getting around 60 FPS on High in Crysis... Sounds pretty good.

they now are running much much better on these drivers. GL
