Thanks Piggy, I updated the list of changes in my post.

I tested them now on an 8800 Ultra and I can finally adjust my TV settings. It's been how long now since they broke that? a year?.. about time. :sleep:

Sticking to omega drivers for nVidia.. A bit cautious after the AGP incident with ATI.

Can anybody tell how these drivers compare against 169.32 Vista x64 drivers? How much fps do you gain in games?

Thanks a lot ;)

How do I use the modified .inf file?

EDIT: Figured it out. For others that still don't know, save the .inf and after extracting the installer, go to x:\NVIDIA\x\174.16\x and overwrite the .inf with the one you downloaded.

Do these new betas fix the stutter issue in ut2004 on XP on geforce 8 cards? Or will i still be waiting a while longer for nvidia to get in gear and fix it?

[Jaydeeke]

I installed these on my vista32 computer with the modded inf.

I have 2 8800GT's in SLI but when I enable SLI in the nvidia control panel and go ingame it gives me a flickering screen and finally a BSOD with the file nvlddmkm.sys. Disabling SLI seems to solve this problem but maybe there is something else I overlooked?

I downloaded the English UK international version, maybe it doesn't work with the modded inf?

Great, thanks very much!

i have just bought a Media Center for my living room, but there is a CRT television, and the MediaCenter uses a 8400GS, and i could not change the sceen position, even the format of the screen(for normal TVs or flat screen TVs). And i saw that many people were searching for a fix for it.

It is great, but i hope that this driver include some configuration that able you change the format of the screen from normal tvs to flat screen TVs.

if someones know how can i change it(from normal to flat screen), or if this driver includes this option, i would thank you if you post

and, whats the difference between the normal driver / the modded inf.?

and, whats the difference between the normal driver / the modded inf.?

Nothing, the original driver only allows you to install it on a computer with a certain graphics card only. The Modded inf allows you to install it on a computer with any nvidia card. Otherwise, the driver is exactly the same.
