I actually went from 16990 to 15331 in 3d Mark. Nothing changed other than the driver so i have to disagree with the performance gain.

I saw a drop as well, though not as dramatic as that. Only about 100-150 points in 06 on my 9600gt. Not quite sure about about actual games yet, though.

I guess it's all false advertising from nVidia to shout that those Big Bang drivers increase the performance THAT much. From the numbers on Anandtech, seems clear that we are nowhere close to "much better" performance.

AMD can rest, the 4870 / 4870X2 are still the best for the money.

Still no output from the HDMI port on my laptop with these drivers (been a problem since 176x series of drivers) and since installing these I've had my first Vista BSOD ever.

It could be because these drivers are not meant for your laptop, by hacking the inf file your installing them at your own risk. You tried checking the website for your laptop's manufacturer, to see if newer drivers are released? the 9500M GS in my Asus laptop is still running on 2007 drivers, Asus can't be stuffed updating them :p

Hey, I'm having a problem installing these drivers to my 8600 GT.

I used the Modded INF from here and while installing the drivers this error comes up:

"Setup cannot copy the file nvdispsr.dll "

How can I reslove this ?, thank you :)

I'm absoloutly sure that's the problem but I'm still going to complain about it. I'm fairly used to these types of issues having used hacked drivers for notebooks for about 8 years.

I have my doubts but are these claims true that the 260 GTX beats the 4870?

the new GTX 260 though (the 216 or whatever it's called?) the original one (the one I have personally) *might* be a touch faster* with these drivers but still be lagging behind the 4870.

* = this depends on your system config, on mine the CPU is holding it back (plus it's only using a PCI-e 1.0 connection, not 2.0), so the increase is maybe an extra 1 or 2 fps in some games if I'm lucky :p.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
