| Windows Vista Business 64bit SP2 | Re: New Forceware 180.48 Drivers, Claims up to 80% Improvement Quote: We would like to have seen the performance gains NVIDIA talked about. While we don't doubt that they are in there, it is likely we just didn't look at the right settings or hardware. Across the board performance gains are hard to come by any more, but improving performance in the corner cases and on underperforming hardware is still a good thing to do. |

| Vista Basic 32bit | Re: New Forceware 180.48 Drivers, Claims up to 80% Improvement I am new to this forum. I tried to download the new NVIDIA 180.48 driver. It won't download saying my system isn't Windows 32bit. I have the Dell, Inc. Inspiron 531s, Windows Vista 32bit with 957 Physical memory, AMD Sempron (tm) processor 3600+. Any suggestions |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: New Forceware 180.48 Drivers, Claims up to 80% Improvement Hello Bughaters, Just to double check, right click on Computer in the Start menu and click on Properties, then check under System Type to verify if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit Vista. Sometimes a OEM may change something at not update the package list. Did you download the 180.48 driver from here for only the series 8800, 9 , and 200 cards: GeForce Release 180 or the 178.24 driver version for the 6, 7, and below 8800 cards: GeForce Release 178 Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Basic 32bit | Re: New Forceware 180.48 Drivers, Claims up to 80% Improvement My system type is Windows Vista 32 bit . Also, I went to NVIDIA Corporation Drivers and Downloads and it stated my driver 178.24 is the most current for my GPU. Whatever the GPU is on my computer I guess I have the current driver for it. Thanks for your advice Shawn |
