In a different thread... but yeah you got me. And not all bittorents are illegal. 😉 And there is nothing against saying you have it in the NDA. Posting pics, vids, impressions, etc. is all against the NDA. Sadly, hardly anyone cares about doing the right thing, and just want to look cool posting pics. :shrug:

it's not all about looking cool. It's people wanting to say "hey this game isn't what it was hyped to be look here" or "hey this game runs poorly on my system here's my config"
That's really all most people are doing. I know the Crysis team didn't want that because it's obvious to me that the game is very very unpolished and doesn't reflect the hype or the videos we have seen.
You dont have it, you dont know. Sorry, but you saying the same thing when you dont have it, doesnt agree with people who say it looks great, and who do have it. Or even those who dont. You by far in the minority. Also note, the highest graphical options (such as DX10 itself) are not even in the beta. The only thing "obvious", is that you dont have a clue about the beta. Sorry to be blunt, but there it is. Wait for the demo, and get some facts straight.
And to be honest, Im tired of you posting the same nonsense all the time, and this thread is going off topic now. I dont have these drivers installed, so I cant comment on how they would reflect the beta, nor would I anyways, if I had either.

minority? what website are you reading? and how do you know who has what? :roll:
You're full of hot air dude...seriously. I'm tired of YOU comming into every thread telling people "you don't have it blah blah or the NDA blah blah".
But you know what, I don't even care. Think what you want and say what you want. The game is not impressive to me and I am not the only one who thinks so. At this point nobody can say if the demo will be better than the beta, of course we all hope and assume it will be though.
Lets just say that we will have to wait and see some actual certified release code and DX10 in action (no videos) before we make a judgement ok? That ok with you? Fine with me...I'll buy the game anyway :thumbsup:

Do you use a Raptor or SCSI hard drive?

What if he does? Is that good or bad?
163.67 seemed fine for a moment, my Bioshock performance improved but it caused instability, loading Medical Pavilion crashed the game (though it only happened) once and then on Neptune's Bounty the screen went blank and I had to restart when I tried to hack a machine. I lost 30 minutes worth of gameplay and got frustrated and stopped playing.
163.67 made Bioshock run faster and snappier but VERY unstable for me.

Loaded these up last night. Didn't notice much difference in performance with LOTRO but IQ seemed to be improved, especially for background scenery textures. Maybe less fog/clipping, not sure. A few posts over on the LOTRO forums seem to indicate these drivers are a major performance improvement with SLI configurations. I'll run a few of the DX10 demos and see if there's any major improvements but so far so good.

I don't know if the driver is the problem but...
Ever since I installed the 163.67 beta drivers, my 8800GTS won't overclock as high anymore. Before, it was at 645/1900 but now the core clock can't even get above 600! It's like the drivers hindered my ability to overclock. Also, my 8800GTS seems to be warmer than usual. Before it was like 62º celcius and now its around 68º! What the eff?

Looks like they changed the way the driver OC

That being said these are the best drivers that I have used with my 8800GTS and Vista x64. COJ, Bioshock, Company of Heroes, MOH Airbourne, Tabala Rasa beta, and both EA Sports Madden '08 and NHL '08 are running fine here.

Ah wow, interesting news. NV has hinted they would add this feature for quite a while but looks like it finally made it into the drivers. This is pretty interesting news though for OC'ers and benchmark junkies. Now you can OC 3 variables independently, perhaps allowing OC'ers to gain even more performance if they're willing to run it their card through the stress tests. Will also allow benchers to nail down specific performance increases from scaling clock speeds on the core, shader and memory instead of core+shader and memory.
In the short-term, has any one tried just OC'ing with the drivers? I've used RivaTuner lately and its been excellent, but right now it seems like current OCs with RivaTuner are actually slower than previous OCs at the same clock speeds due to the static shader clock speed.
