175.19 vs 177.83
3dmark06(1280) : 16850 - 16950
Crysis(1280 high) : 54,5 - 57,7 FPS
UT3(1280 MAX) : 132 - 166(hardware physx ON) FPS | | | | What about image quality? 175.19's image quality is pretty awesome. | | | | looks fine for me, didnt notice any "cuts" or artifacts etc... Looks like some free juice  | | | | Did/could you try it in single gpu mode as well so see if the boost is limited to SLI performance or not? | | | | Overall performance boost % is quite same on single/SLI Not only in games that support physx! Also in Call of Duty 4 few FPS more. | | | | Interestingly nvidia's download page still points Geforce 8 on winxp to 175.19. Give the disaster that happened last time, I think I'll wait just a little longer. | | | | Well nvidia's website is always giving problems... Do not worry I was using them whole day in different games, movies etc - not a single problem. Since they are not default for 8800GT on the website I also was alerted but after checking both cards clocks temps etc I can now asure You that drivers work well with 8*** series | | | | Oh..."very nice", that you delete my Thread from yesterday with this information...LOL.
I think it's why I posted it with a Link to tweakforce...not my thing, if an other Site is faster with the Download and the Information.
Deleting my Tipp? Nahh, is not ok...sorry.
Bye. | | | | huh i have 8800gt so download these ore not ?? | | | | Nvidia made a blunder with their driver search. If one selects Geforce 8 on winxp you get 175.19. If 9800GTX on xp is selected you get 177.79 but 8800GT is in the supported products tab.  |

| Quote | | | | | This drivers work fine with 8800GT!! | | | | has anybody modded these drivers to run on 7900 series yet? i wanna try these but they wont let me install them on my 7950GT AGP 512mb card.....i tried a modified inf but the format has changed i believe and it still wouldnt take | | | | This seems like a good set so i'm gonna stick with .83 for a while. I also tried .89 released today and performance was pretty much the same but a little bit lower on few games so I decided to revert back. | |
