Reflexion Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Am I the only one getting problems with lots of artifacts showing up on 163.xx? If I reboot and start games they run fine but after the computer starts to accumulate some uptime they come right back. :( Looks like I'll have to stick with 162.22 until that can get resolved. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argi Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Make sure you also download the hotfixes for Vista at http://www.nvidia.com/object/windows_vista_hotfixes.html to go with these drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEvan Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 weird...when i installed these, my system kinda hung, so i hit the reset button, and now all is good....just played some MOH:Airborne, and so far so good, awesome frame rates, and i didn't need to download those hotfixes...i wonder if WU already got them for me. in other news, World in Conflict is on sale today so time to go buy it! Cryis is next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started playing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory right after uninstalling 163.67 and installing these. I wasn't playing for a half hour before I started seeing them. I'm going to uninstall them and reinstall 163.67. I'm using the beta drivers since I've got BioShock, and everything was fine with 163.67. I thought it could be a heat issue, but over 200? F while playing a game is apparently normal for my card (see sig). It's at 149? F right now idle. Crazyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol wow, I have a 7600GS with practically no Cooling (Tiny, Tiny fan and in constricted hot ass dell case) and OC'd the hell out of it and it barely ever goes above 80.
