i just formatted about 4 days ago

and i installed v169.25 cause when i selected nvidia 7 Series on the nvidia site thats wat version it told me to download

should i download this update version for my Gigabyte 7600GT?

Try it, it may work for you. It has worked for others but some are getting the same error as me. You can always revert back to 169.25.

What ever happened to the days when they'd review new driver releases so we could get an idea if it was worth updating or not?

I'd like to see if they have any performance boosts or if they're just fixing bugs that I may or may not suffer from.

Plenty of forums will carry conversations comparing benchmarks and the like for even minor beta releases. maybe neowin just isnt the right forum for it but. For those sort of things I personally look at hardforums.com or something where it seems to me that a higher percentage of the users are hardware enthusiast.

It's interesting to me to see how many people are having issues with these. I reinstalled Vista yesterday and updated to these drivers, and I have to say I'm impressed. I usually avoid "stock" drivers, but these actually run fairly well for me. Nvidia just might be on to something...

A % of people will always have some problems. It's just the nature of the PC industry with all it's different hardware setups. If we had a smaller list of hardware to pick from in the different categories I'm sure we wouldn't come up against all these weird/odd errors.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
