NVIDIA Geforce 180.48 WHQL (BIG BANG II) RELEASED!


Recommended Posts

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.

bad download mybe ? check the size of the file

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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
