Thank you. I've always been a huge fan of the Xtreme G series and have been using the 71.20b's for a while now and couldn't have been happier. Let's hope these make me even more happy.

They are real nice on my system no problems what so ever. great set of drivers. What would make them almost perfect would be if they didnt have shiny grass on aztec but that was like that on the original 71.81 also.

I won't bother with betas anymore since they don't include a refresh rates override tab. But if these include one, I will try them. Do they?

 

[Tweaks R Us]

sure do. they have coolbits built in.

Does coolbits allow you to override refresh rates in games?

 

[Tweaks R Us]

not sure ive never really played around with refresh rate overrides i just know it has a tab for it.

 

[imported_humey]

The refresh override is in the drivers by default, but some newer 7.*.**'s build is missing, so using old coolbits wont give you this tab use nvtweaker on guru3d.com.

I already tried nVHardPage and RiveTuner and neither worked with the 7*.** drivers. I don't think I'll bother with nvtweaker, I'll just wait for the next official driver set.

Whenever that will be. I mean its been since November since we had any new official drivers. nVidia used to be a lot better about this.

 

[imverygifted]

indeed, nvidia really needs to get their act together about drivers- probably harder for them now since they need to do alot of work on sli drivers

XG 71.81 drivers do have the refresh rate override tab :\

 

[McArra]

File is broken... also guru3d one is broken, can't install them.

EDIT: Got winrar and everything is fine now, I'll report back!

 

[Tweaks R Us]

yeah you need a new version of winrar or 7-zip in order to unzip this. older winrars report the file as being damange or corrupt.

 

[McArra]

They are pretty good, I like them as much as VXG 71.20b.

 

[Tweaks R Us]

we need more people to be active in the tweaksrus forums got any ideas how we can do that heh.

 

[Insomniak]

These still have the Half-Life 2 issues in them? Green/Yellow water, artifacting, etc?

 

[McArra]

Nope, no yellow water at all.

 

[Tweaks R Us]

nope

I've read that the 71.81's still have the problem with widescreen resolutions (maybe only over DVI) that causes the right part of the screen (last ~10 pixels) to be shifted over to the left side and the rest moved over.. Has anyone noticed this with these? Anyone with a 2005FPW or similar widescreen LCD monitor, specifically.

i get corruption in WoW, and white specs in aztec...back to the 67.66'es for me. they are the Xtreme G, mind you

they have the best IQ available, not the performance boost of the 71.xx'es though...like i need it
