Tantawi, can I ask you for something? You and other people posting links to Nvidia drivers.

Can you please take this additional minute and also add links to the international versions? It's just a matter of changing "english" to "international" in link locations. Just like this:

Thanks in advance!

I'm aware of that, I was just commenting that it did lower the framerates...and since i ran the test multiple times and had it averaged, its not like it was just a fluke lower number on one test. they still worked regardless, so im not saying they're bad, just that my results went down. :)

jeez did you read my reply? i had it run each test 3 times with both drivers, and it averaged the results of the 3 tests together...so between 6 tests, 3 with the 163.71 drivers and 3 with the 163.75 drivers, there was a 100 pt difference....not just one run each....I'm sure I'd see the exact same results if i had run it 50 times for each test and then averaged the results. Either way as the guy before said, its not gonna make like a 5 fps difference, but still higher is always better AFTER averaging the results from multiple runs. If you ran a test 5, 10, whatever times, and averaged the results, and then ran it 10 times with new drivers and averaged the results and they were lower, that is still saying that they deliver worse performance, even if it equates to only 1/10th a frame per second in actual games.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
