Seems to have made a small impact for me playing Crysis Warhead (1280x1024) with 8xAA and everything set to Enthusiast. Averaging at least 5+ FPS. I never tested Fallout 3 extensively before the update but I just used Fraps while playing with everything set to full (AA and AF) and my FPS stays at a constant 60. Definitely need to hook it back up to the TV to check the 1080p performance (1900x1080).

I don't understand that, so nothing new for my 8600 GT ? ..It's only been a year or something since I got it :(

download the driver and extract it

then download moded inf

and put it in the same location as the driver files

overwrite if asked

then install , it should work

Meh, probably waste of time for me to update. I'm guessing the performance increase is only for SLI setups? since this update seems primarily focused on that. Doesn't matter, my single GTX 260 is doing quite well despite my weak CPU holding it back :happy:

Oh ok, that's alright. Perhaps I will install them then (since the only reason I was going to skip them was cause I thought the performance increase for was SLI only), since I have a few games on that list. Hopefully it will fix FarCry 2, it runs well just the frame rate drops really low for no apparent reason sometimes :/ maybe these drivers will fix it...

Extract? It's an executable...
The main setup is nothing more than an extraction program.

If you pay attention, you'll see it extracts files to C:/NVIDIA/<version>.

Therefore, if you have WinRAR, you can right click to extract files.

Any reviews yet? I am interesting in seeing some performance results.

BTW I uninstalled the Phyx before I installed this driver last night. Everyone else do that also? Or was I suppose to leave it installed?

Updated drivers. Working flawlessly. Far Cry 2 is discernibly faster.

which version were you using previously?

yeah im not sure about that either. my guess is that it's ok to leave the drivers.

I remove the Physx because i noticed, when i removed the Physx from the old 178 or something drivers and whent to the 180.43 beta ones the Physx drivers 'upgrade' from 8.09 to 8.10 version, so i always remove the Physx to get in any Physx upgrades to the software there might of been otherwise i guess it just skips it.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
