StealthMode Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Well, all I can say is, in XP I couldn't play TDU very well, 800x600 was my max.....Vista of course has been awfulfor gaming, but now, I can actually play TDU perfectly fine with HDR and high settings @ 1024x768! I can actually read the guages now. I'm blown away! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 ^ Are you saying that for you the Vista drivers are better than the XP ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantawi Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 ^ Are you saying that for you the Vista drivers are better than the XP ones? No, XP still the OS for the pure gamer, but what I'm saying is that NVIDIA have certainly fixed TDU related issues in version 100.65+ and up, since the game runs very smooth now all high settings on my 7800GS, it ran very slow on XP with weird graphics using 97.xx something, the slow down of a driver issue... you know the feeling :D Every other game still have lower frame/issues compared to XP.

qbie Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Installed these earlier, Not done much playing but on my 7600 WoW seems to run noticeably better. So far, so good :cool: q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGSPro Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 How does this improve the frame rate on the new awesome Bug Splat game? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Battlefield 2142 plays very choppy with these drivers. I will have to return to the 100.65 release. I own the EVGA 7950GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_st Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Well tried out the new drivers on BF2142 and the same problem occurs. Gameplay is good but starting the game the same problem is always occuring. When starting you have orange and white lines across the screen. The sound is Ok in the background. I press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to get to task manager. Then I hit ESCAPE then have Green and white lines across the screen . I then press ESCAPE again and enter the game. Works fine after that. who knows.... Any ideas,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 This driver has increased performance in WoW for me :) Best I've used by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Just thought I would report back after using them a day. I would once get "NVIDIA drivers failed but recovered" error jumping from the Task Bar every so often when gaming or some other 3D utilizing task with the 101.64(?) Drivers. But with the new ones I no longer get that error. Much more stable and my boot time has decreased by at-least half. Great drivers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chosen One Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Drivers are working very nicely, the previous ones ran good too but i get a bit more fps and better performance in these drivers, now for some proper nForce4 drivers lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I just downloaded and installed them, my card's [6800GS] performance in still very poor in games :( I get the feeling Nvidia will be dropping support for the 6 series [in Vista] soon too (if you remember the FX series was also (suppose to be) supported in Vista and was up to RC-2, then was dropped when Vista went RTM) Looks like I'll be keeping XP as my gaming OS for some time I think.
