NVIDIA Geforce 180.48 WHQL (BIG BANG II) RELEASED!


Recommended Posts

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:

nah it is for non SLI too

nah it is for non SLI too

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.

physX get automatically upgraded when you install the a newer forceware with update physX bins

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
