Are there 2 version of the 81.98 drivers???

[Elusiv1]

Hi, I'm currently using the 81.98 drivers which were released on 12/21/05, now it seems as if they released the same drivers again on 2/7/06??? What are the difference in these drivers if any?? I'm looking for an SLI fix to turn on V-Sync in F.E.A.R to reduce screen tearing and I hope that these drivers will be the answer?? Probably not but who knows...thanks

It may just be "WHQL" certification

That's what I thought, thanks again......

I can't run JAVA and any 3d apps while using the 8X.XX series of drivers.

I haven't found any way to get working vsync in FEAR without using SFR, which has some issues in this game.

Same here, I've given up trying to get vsync to work with AFR in FEAR so I just run with a single card because the screen tearing in SLI is too much for me to handle...

according to guru3d.com, the new 81.98 driver only adds support for 7800gs. that's all

Make sure both FSAA and Anisotropic filtering is set to" application preference" this will fix Java related problems.


As for 3d applications try Driver Cleaner first before installing drivers.

Lame, and you would think Nvidia would get there acts together and come out with a set of drivers to fix this ongoing problem with the global drivers settings and profiles bug with SLI..

To Nvidia, if your listening???

We need a set of damn drivers where we don't have to create profiles or force activate profiles for SLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on now!!!! We've done our part and spent hundreds of dollars to take the SLI plunge, why can't you do yours!!!!!!!

Sincerely,
A pissed off SLI user..........LOL
