Another update, im going to see if they ironed out the texture mapping bug

http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winxp_2k_61.77

This is for Win2000 and WinXP ONLY

I'll report back on what i think of these.

Lets keep the flaming of drivers out of this thread k?

No worky.

Installed, no visual on screen (Went to standby despite my revival attempts)

Did a F8 boot and went back to the old drivers, booted fine.

My advice: Wait till MS signs them :p

oh dear. send screens and dxdiag to KK.

EDIT: though average FPS is up. is it a fair trade off though?

EDIT2: Im switching to Omega Drivers - 56.72 for now until this is sorted. or KK fix it, this is the only game thats got this issue.

That includes Incubation, made for DX 6 O_o

They work awsome for me :P

Dont see a diff in NC, but AO looks a bit better. Textures better, but slightly at the expence of some fps in wide open areas.

All in all decent. I have a gforce FX 5600 btw, not shure if that makes a diff.

Actually, a few mins ago I experienced the problems in the screenies above - and deduced that it might be related to me alt-tabbing a few minutes ago - so I alt-tabbed out and back in again - which seemed to fix it until I logged off over an hour later.

Is that so in your case?

Eddie

PS. Improvements can definitely be seen in farcry (and yes my card does run farcry quite well, for your information :P) - performance and image quality - which means I'll try and keep these drivers.

EDIT: Wrote cards instead of drivers.

i'll give it a try

some models also disappear if i alt-tab between logins (this has been an issue since i started playing though, and yes i have reported it)

lol your wishing arent you :)

in all tests the x800 series looses out to the 6800 (with the acception of the gt which is the baby product)

toms hardware and anandtech both did comparisons and the x800 only squeesed infront of the 6800 in 1 test.

I would love to join this x800 vs 6800 discussion, but let's stay on-topic shall we? :)

I'm also on mx440 and experiencing the missing models after alt-tab too, tho I've never had this problem before last patch. Also never experienced the weird texture bugs.
