New nVidia Drivers for RC1 - 96.33

[XxDeadlyxX]

On nVidia's FTP, there are new Vista drivers for both x86 and x64. I have been waiting ages for these, now to test them out.

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/96.33/

The drivers are of a decent size (38mb for x86, 46mb for x64), I will report back soon.

Going to test on Vista 5536.

Even though I don't have a nVidia card YET, please tell me how games like CS:S and the like run? :]

Does anyone know if this driver will work with the nvidia go 7xxx gtx series cards? Thanks

[FusionXN1]

Err... ya, i guess so :) Its the same version as the XP one... near enough :)

[cropcircles]

Thanks for the link.

[RGSPro]

any word from ATi?

[FusionXN1]

TBH I'm shocked at ATI - I thought they would be better then this I used to have ATI cards until they become more expensive then nvidia ;)

i just tried them and they seem to be working

The Control Panel is almost the same was 88.61 except the things there that previously did not work now appear to work without producing errors (AA/AF control, program-specific settings). XP sections such as colour control etc are non-existant. From what I can tell, performance is still very unstable. This is most notable in CSS.... many fps dips.

The drivers install without problem. They also run Glass quite well.

No Digital Vibrance control either, so things look as bland as ever on my screen. Also as the release notes say, DirectX AA doesnt work via control panel. It did, however, work from in-game settings in CSS.

Vsync does work in this release, whereas it did not in Beta 2.

I have a feeling the first driver to rival XP's will be at Vista RTM Oh well... cant expect too much i guess

Even so, it's recommended you only use them on the stated build, as at the moment they are build-specific.

Cheers for the update (Y)

Will upgrade to these in a min then :)

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Triffic.. proper drivers for the video were all that was stopping me from trying RC1 when it gets made public :)

[Ran Sagy]

Any word on performance yet? Even though these are obviously just stop-gap measures from nVidia ;)

[JakeSWE]

Thanks for the update :punk:
