this driver sucks nutzzzzzz and the game crashes before it even goes up with those or without and benchmarked crappier then the previous ones so even if you say they are Bioshock oriented they dont even run that for alof of nvidia cards owners G7 and G8

or maybe something sucks in your system, or maybe you didn't remve drivers properly.. or maybe alot of things..

all i know is i run the drivers without an issue at all and only punks have problems

Update! Important!

This driver apparently fixes the Texture Eviction bug that many sites have reported

this one is working just fine here
i like it

My system works fine with v158 drivers running, but if I install 162.22 I get all sorts of problems. mainly with the nvlddmkm driver failing to respond then the screen goes blank, then comes back for 20 seconds then goes blank, etc....

The same happened with the beta 163.34 drivers, although not as bad. I am going to give newer 163.44 drivers a try and see if this is the cure I have been waiting for. In the meantime I wish Nvidia would get a move on.

Ok, break it up you two. Flaming is not allowed here, squall - you should know it already.

nvlddmkm is a known ForceWare Vista issue.

i wasn't flaming him, i was letting him know that only noobs or antinvidia propagandists are having issues with the drivers.

the general experts have worked out how now to get such issues.

refering to people as "noobs or antinvidia propagandists" is not needed, we dont all have the same skill levels so you are in fact insulting users with your terms

meh, anyone who isn't a member of ngohq is a noob. period.

chaos i dont protect squall but i can say that he dident say anything wrong this time (only a punk and that is not big insult and he dident say that directly to anyone)

Any plans to bring up a modified version of these with the old control panel? That stupid new cp is giving me quite a headache...

After a lot of hair pulling, screaming, shouting and generally throwing toys out of pram, I stumbled on the problem. It was nothing to do with the video drivers, as such. The problem was caused by my motherboard choosing a safe speed for my memory, instead of running it at 4-4-4-12 the correct speed, it was running it at 5-5-5-15. Having manually set the memory timings, I have had no further problems. Give it a try what have you got to lose, I am sure your sanity is hiding in the corner somewhat like mine, lol.

Maybe use nHancer
