Ah okay, thought you meant you were waiting for someone to do it for you, lol!

Works great for my laptop's ati chip. Hopefully the nvidia one is just as good.

Any performance gains anyone?

And will rivatuner 2.11 be able to use this version? Maybe riva 2.11 will allow me to OC my lil o'l 8500gt more. I maxed out riva 2.10 on the core and shader settings

WTF, 87MB for a DRIVER? This is getting ridiculous...

Also, for those who are interested, the nVIDIA System Tools (aka nTune) has been updated to 6.02: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_system_tools_6.02.html

edit: nearly 50MB of this driver package is the PhysX software. I'm hoping (hint, hint) that in the future, some kind soul will strip PhysX out of this installer and host the resulting ~37MB file so that I don't have to download something that I don't need.

You can boost the clock range in RivaTuner.

Go to the Power User Tab, Scroll down to RivaTuner\overclocking\Global\ and click on the + sign to expand the menu.

Go down to MaxClockLimit and double click it. Enter a hex number. Try aa and see if that gives you what you are after.

There seem to be some issues with these drivers, at least on my quad-SLI setup.

First of all, they artifact badly in some games; here's a screenshot from UT2004 to prove it (look at the Shock Rifle model in the lower right corner of the screen). I'm not overclocking and everything is set to highest in the driver control panel and the game, so the drivers shouldn't be doing any IQ optimizations - but it looks like they're optimizing too heavily:

(had to resize it from 1600x1200 because ImageShack won't let me upload anything over 1.5MB

)

Secondly, I've had 2 BSODs in the 2 days I've had them installed. I can live with IQ issues, but BSODs... nope. So I think I'm going to go back to the 175.19s, they seemed much more stable.

with a 7950 GX2, i think you should mention that. It could be SLI users who only have problems... or the poor negated, oft forgotten 7950GX2 users alone.

I've had no problems on my 8 series cards, and i wish you luck with yours.

My younger brother's system (7900 GS in SLI) is experiencing the exact same problems... definitely looks like there's an issue with 7000-series SLI configurations.
