Vista Forceware 97.27 out

[Trebuin]

Performance dropped about 50 3dmark05 points from 97.19 drivers, which had an increase of about 200 points on vista x64. I'm 300 points short of xp's performance. I'm attaching the modded inf file. enjoy!

ha? so let me get this straight .. nvidia released 96.88 yesterday .. someone on guru3d released 97.19 also yesterday AND someone released 97.22 also yesterday and you happen to come across 97.27 today :/ .. umm and iam betting this also doesnt support 1440x900 .. iam also guessing this is a moded inf done by you or someone else and not an actualy 97 release? or is it?

Have you tried installing the driver for your monitor to get that resolution?

THX Trebuin! These seem to be leaked drivers with Control Panel, OpenGL and everything. File version is really 97.27, but these doesn't seem to support all the cards yet. And there is text "nightly build" inside one file so not final, but seem to be close :).

[X]-bYtE: yes i have i have a benq FP92W the driver installs fine .. the only problem is i can only get the 1440x900 resolution if i use the 96.33 drivers anything higher or lower will not work with that resolution

[Joni_78]

Wow, these are pretty fast :).

sorry for not being up to date with this, but what's so special about 1440x900 resolution with NVIDIA drivers?

Yeah I know that, but what makes it different from say... 1280x800... as far as driver support goes? What makes it different from 1234x789 or any other custom resolution - isn't it all the same to the GPU?

[Joni_78]

Hmmm... TV-out picture quality is still crap with PAL TVs, dunno if it's because there is only 29 and 30 Hz supported.

Nevermind, I should have rebooted like it told me to do :blush: .

The screen is much clearer when using the native resolution.

Wow, these drivers really speeds up now :) New drivers each day, me like!

[jbarcus81]

I can't wait to see what the final builds are gonna be like... Any new nForce drivers yet??

[NienorGT]

Man, I hate Rapidshare

[gregor]

okay.. here's the thing- i just installed these latest drivers and tried to compare it with latest WHQL from nVidia (for Vista ofc). i could see some improovements, which is good, but, when i do ALT+TAB in game to drop me in the desktop, screen starts to flicker as mad! i sure hope we're going to see the new version which would fix this soon :)

just my humble opinion :B

Well after finally being able to download them, they aren't that bad tbh, yea not as good as XP Drivers, but these will keep me in Vista till better ones come out :happy:

Only tested Doom3 and HalfLife2 so far though...

hello i have a geforce 8800 gtx and i was wondering if this driver also work with this card? i saw in this post someone modded the inf file so every card is supported but does this also work?
