It looks like an Nvidia address, but when I check Nvidia's driver site, it still lists the 61.77s.

 

[nitromullet]

These are from nVidia's ftp site

Damn it. I just did a format yesterday and did a clean install of the 66.70's in the process.
I just can't keep up with these guys.

Oh, and boo Omega for releasing several new Catalysts since his last Forceware release!




Hiss!

these drivers are pretty damn good, check out what they do to your 3dmark score, even with the 1.10 patch

 

[caz67]

These drivers are awesome, really improve your 3DMark 03 score..Worth downloading..

 

[CrystalBay]

Cool Thanks...

 

[Shagga]

Excellent. I'm getting a massive 7kb/Sec.

[edit]

Okay, just tried these. In 3DMark05 I noticed a few texture problems with the Cliffs however, it has boosted the numbers a little. There is a good 6.5/7.0% increase in FPS in Doom3 for me running at 1600 x 1200. I get about 65fps.

What is the switch to pre-cache the Doom3 levels prior to benchmarking, I can't remember for the life of me. :frown:

Type 'timedemo demo1 1' in the console. Without the quotes of course. The extra 1 is the trick.

[JSmile]

can you use multiple monitors?

 

[Bateluer]

I still don't seem them up on Nvidia's actual driver site.

 

[Rage187]

They are not on their driver page, these are coming from their FTP.

So are they an official release or not then?

 

[imported_obsidian]

My guess is they just haven't updated the driver page. Or maybe they are waiting on WHQL.

 

[CrystalBay]

I got some 66.72 whql if ya needum

 

[ntdz]

who CARES if they are official, just dl them

Official drivers are for noobs that only download drivers when they sign up on forums just to ask why their computer isn't running up to par. Note not saying that's you just saying you shouldn't be afraid.

I'm not into the Beta driver scene like I used to be. Maybe I was spoiled by ATI's monthly official drivers when I had my 9600 Pro, I don't know. Now that I use my computer for more critical financial information, work, homework, etc, I cannot afford to fvck it up with beta drivers.

These drivers give me tearing in CS like the 66.70's did :/
