Forceware 61.11 Drivers Windows XP/2000

[dragonic]

Spotted this on Futuremark forums:

NVIDIA has a new driver for the GeForce 6800 series -- version 61.11. Compared to the 60.72 driver, this new driver features:

Around 5% boost in Aquamark
Around 5% boost in X2 performance
Around 5% boost in Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness performance
Around 10% boost to Call of Duty performance
Over 20% improvement in Far Cry performance (fixed a z cull bug)

Download

Don't know if the speed boosts are only for 6800U..

That's amazing that you know the game is crap without having played it, cause I played through the entire game and apparently still came to the wrong conclusion that I really enjoyed it.

I have the game too... best $30 I've spent on a game in a LONG time.

I paid $40, the next week BB at it for $30. Ugh.

Excellent game

Before everyone starts jumping down nVidia's throat, remember that these are not official releases of the driver🙂 One hopes that the Far Cry errors are fixed by the next official release.

It also performs slower in soem games according to some benchmarks. Can't cite specific examples, but I know I saw it somewhere 😉
It makes some games faster and others seem to be slower. It might have been at a dodgy review site though.
