New nVidea Drivers

[Kevin Farnell]

nVidea have launched new drivers (178.13) and are claiming some significant speed increases.
I've downloaded them but not tried them yet.

Downloading and trying now. I'll report back (Vista x64 - G8800 GTX)

Latest nHancer version is 2.4.2 available from www.nHancer.com

Difficult to say. We'll it hasn't broken anything, I I think the HJG/JM 146 which I'm in at the minute is getting slightly better frame rates, so looks like it was worth a go; for me anyway.

Thanks Kevin.

Me too on an old 7600 GT AGP card on WinXP.

So for me it's also worth the download. (And the newest version of nHancer as well)

Good HU!

Thanks for the heads up Kevin will try them, wont bother with nHnacer though found it fiddly and pretty much useless but it could be me...

Ummmm having read a bit on the nVidia forum this driver seems to cause problems in many software applications...think I will give this one a miss...

No problems here and nice smooth frame rates all round. When using bloom in FSX performance is better and I've noticed quite a nice fps boost in various other games as well.

Hmmm!! Not sure whether to try or not, remember the last time I went for an update

Bit wary, will have to make sure that I still have my present driver backed up.

You've got nothing to loose as long as you do a proper uninstall and install of the new drivers. Just download a copy of your current revision just in case and its the work of five minutes to install those again if the new ones prove to be a let down for you.
