Wow. The latest dets are around 20mg.

0.48 Dets from 11/17/98=685kb.

heh.

[Zup]

Hmmm... I don't see the "New bugs in 77.77" section...

Also, there is no mention to any issue related with Geforce 4 chipsets... are they dropping support or drivers are just perfect?

[eL_PuSHeR]

They probably forgot to add it. Lamers.

[Snover]

This release feels a bit rushed, despite the fact that it took so long to be released.

[avatar_58]

They work for me btw...I have a 6800 GT and all games I've tried, new and old, work great.

* Bumping thread *

[laxdragon]

None of the boogs really affect me. Since I'm running good ATM I will hold off until the next release. Not that upgrading should break anything though.

[franpa]

why did you unstickie my thread then sticky your own that says basically the same thing? oO

[dh4rm4]

93.71 seem the best drivers for 6 and 7 series cards at present. These new ones have a broken new CPL and no PureVideoHD support in XP - any variant thereof. I've tested many many drivers with my 7800GT and I seriously have found 93.71 to be the best performers all round, including VC-1, x.264 and WMV HD acceleration.

[SysGOD]

i agree with dh4rm4. the default 93.71 drivers are the best for geforce 6 and 7 cards under winxp when it comes to performance and image quality.
but i personally use modified XTREME-G drivers for a long time. currently using the XG 158.22 drivers under winxp with my 7900gs (agp) and there are very great.

ive heard that nvidia has problems with some winxp 9x.xx releases and the "new" control pannel but this is definitively fixed in all 1xx.xx releases...

EDIT:
btw, the thread title should be renamed to forceware not "nforce"...

Beta driver

Why the big jump in number?

[MiniMax]

Marketing guys kissed the VP's butt?

[eL_PuSHeR]

I think marketing guys believe bigger numbers are cooler.

[dh4rm4]

Marketing guys have little to do with version numbering at nV. It's more likely that the newer revisions are a 'step away' from the 150 dets. I can say that they have some major distinctions, the least of which are integrated PureVideoHD support for XP (even though nV say that it's only supported in Vista, my XP gets between 8-15% CPU usage when using WMP11 and DirectX video Acceleration, around 30% without DxVA) and complete lack of support of the old control panel (reg hacks won't even bring it back for 160.xx).

[franpa]

i never knew there was 15x.xx drivers for winXP, i only new of the 93.71 and 94.24 >.>

[dh4rm4]

93.81 aren't a proper revision for XP. 93.71 and 94.24 are though.

[franpa]

ya, i meant 93.71 >.>

[franpa]

with the 162.15 beta drivers i noticed that about every 30 minutes or so theres this weird video glitching, like the edges flicker into big fat square pixels for a few short seconds.

any idea at all at solving this? besides this which so far has not caused anything to crash yet, what can be done beside downgrading the driver?

i got a geforce 6600gt jetway 128mb pcie vid card.
