Yea just started using them. Haven't made a huge difference in Oblivion -- which was the only game I tried. R600 where art thou?

I just upgraded to the XG-modded version 100.95 & so far I've seen slight performance increases & noticable IQ improvement... sounds like theres no point in bothering with these.


Edited: For typo! :eek:

I'm on 101.02 so I don't think I'll bother with these.

If nVidia hadn't been leaking the 100.xx series I would be seriously pissed off if 97.94 was all they had to show for 3-4 months of driver work.

yeah, but the fact that they have been leaking the 100.xx drivers makes you go wtf.. why release the 97.94s

Wow ton of changes in this release. Almost one change for every month between driver releases.

Issues Resolved in Version 97.94
The following are changes made and issues resolved in driver version 97.92:
Single-GPU Issues Resolved
? The media player hangs when playing MPEG2 HD video clips using
overlay in 1080i and then switching to full-screen mode.
? Added application profile for "Titan Quest Demo.exe" to support the
current demo version.
? The system crashes after four or more suspend/resume cycles.
SLI Mode Issues Resolved
? Company of Heroes, SLI: Screen corruption occurs when "Enhance
the Application

I'm sensing some sarcasm ;)
It probably fixes a few more things then that though... I hope.

Well I'm on the XTreme-G 100.95 drivers and I'm liking them. And I think I'll keep these for a while longer.
I wonder if they ever fixed the stupid Source engine fog bug yet.... :|
I was playing CS:S earlier for the first time in probably a few months now. With 100.95 seemed like the bug was still there. Wonder if it's there in the 101.02 driver??

And what about the 101.70 driver that I thought I heard something about but I can't exactly remember.

Thx for the link, any chance in hell you have an 8800 series card and play WoW to let me know if these crash or not. I wouldnt ask but you said the IQ was alot better and if they work in Wow I would try them, I know I am asking alot here cause the crash can be pretty tough so I dont really wanna go test another set of drivers after already doing enough testing and finding some that work.

Well, I know what these drivers are for, they're 97.92 + Stalker hotfix.

I have to use them because 101.02 doesn't draw the crosshair and has rendering artifacts in Stalker.

Unfortunately they still have the same bugs as 97.92 in the rest of my games which means I'll have to do the driver shuffle when I'm finished with Stalker. :disgust:

Well. the strange thing is that I get artifacts and strange colors in Oblivion with unofficial 100 series drivers, so I'm pretty much forced to use these... :(

I've never had a problem running WoW.

NVIDIA has really dropped the ball this time. I've had this card for months and they haven't fix one damn thing! They are SO damn lucky ATI doesn't have a DirectX10 card out yet because I would dump this crap in a heartbeat! It doesn't matter how damn fast it is if nothing works!!! Pull your head out NVIDIA and hire some more people if you can't get the job done! This is ridiculous!

Make sure to cut me a deal on that GTX when R600 comes out.

Wow, im surprised, im not having any issues in games with my 8800GTX and the 97.92's.

STALKER plays just fine with everything maxed @ 1920x1080p on my pc.
No rain artifacts or anything and i just left the x16 labs.

Heck STALKER and Rainbow Six Vegas both play smooth and have never crashed once on me with the 97.92's / WinXp

Anyone? I'm not touching these with a 10 foot pole if they lock up my LCD's HW scaler like 97.92 did.
