I dont see much fo a difference between these and the old ones, everything works pretty mucht he same to me. The main thing about these drivers that I like is that they finally decided to rearrange the control panel. You can select things from the side, like the old one. I still prefer the old panel but them getting rid of those stupid menus makes this new one a whole lot more manageable for me.

I actually felt the opposite from you, but after playing around with it I agree. Its way easier to get around instead of clicking on an icon and having to go back and forth.

Ya...these drivers will not allow 100hz... :angry: Although the jump in performance from previous drivers is on track but still not there. I tested three games and compared them between XP and new Vista drivers. The following numbers are avg fps with FRAPS with all settings maxed on a SLI machine(Madden07 Vista 58.984 - Madden07 XP 59.538) (Battlefield2142 Vista 34.620 - Battlefield2142 XP 47.268) (Shadowbane Vista 70.797 - Shadowbane XP 57.117). As you can see the only game that shows an improvement in fps on Vista with new drivers is Shadowbane. Madden is the same and Battlefield2142 was a downgrade. Yes, I'm impressed with the jump for Shadowbane although BF2142 means more to me. I have a feeling that the next release will be just right. And hopefully I get my 100HZ back!

Running on a 6600GT AGP here. I didn't measure exact results, But both Aero and games I've tried seem to run at least 10% quicker and smoother. I've tried Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and Guild Wars, As well as some smaller, older games. The new control panel is better in the sense it actually listens to most of your choices :p

So if I already have this installed, don't need to reinstall with the WHQL?

I doubt it.. They both appear to have the same build number.. The WHQL would just mean that under Vista X64 you would not have the unsigned driver prompt.

(please note: I could be wrong.. there may be slight differences, but you'd think they would upgrade the build number if they changed it for the WHQL drivers)

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
