Xross Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) nVidia released a BETA GPU load on August 26th that I thought may be of interest as it claims to perform well on Call of Duty (15% performance increase) plus has the PhysX functionality among other goodies. nVidia 177.92 BETA GPU Driver Enjoy Edit:Stress Beta status Edited September 7, 2008 by X-Wind~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Ok thats cool But. I do the slection of the operating system and the series of card it comes up the same driver I have allready 175.19 not the 177.92. So eather they optmised the 175.19 Or you can't get it for the 8 series card and vista. I don't mean to be diffacult but as I said Its only for xp and the 7 8 9 or 200 series of cards, unless you got a direct link to the driver down load page that shows its compatible for the 8 series and vista 32 bitt. I can't use it becouse for the 8 series, its only for xp. It does not show vista compatible. Edited September 10, 2008 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNo~SPARTA~ Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Did you use the lower menu with the "beta and Archived drivers" I used that one and there was a version for 8 series cards and vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Well thats a bitt clearer. There it is hidden in deep down in the bottom of plain sight in the archive. Thanks. A little hinter= select 200 series of cards or you will never find it. It will allways take you to the 175.19 if you select the 8 series drivers when doing the archive search. My machine likes the new driver. Thanks again. Edited September 10, 2008 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yea, been running this one for about a week I have had no problems so far, As I reverted back to 169.?? drivers before as I had loads of issues with the 170 Onwards drivers. But that's a SLI thing I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halli~SPARTA~ Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 My only issue is it uses more mem to control PhysX via the card rather than a dedicated PhysX card and I found that when playing Graw2 with the hell map I would crash with a script error saying I3d not having enough mem so after testing I entered Ageia Properties and disabled the option and Bobs your uncle it now works so the drivers are fine just watch out for certain cards not able to handle games running or utilizing PhysX.
