169.25 released!

I`ve installed the driver today. Not even a half of a frame difference from my former 169.04. Since it`s the newer version though,it`s staying. Until it starts doing no-no`s on my system.

 

Why are these newer drivers giving me crap performance compared to the older ones?

 

I just hope that nvidia will release some drivers that INCREASE performance and not DECREASE (like this one)

 

Boycott nVidia.

 

Hmm just played FEAR, seems performance is worse

 

Well, if it helps, 169.21 corrected a problem in UT3 where after 20mins or so in warfare maps the textures started flickering, getting to a point where it was unplayable.

So its not ALL bad.

Haven't tried these yet. Might give them a miss.

 

The 169.21 works good on my Asus G1S (also performance is great) so i just stay with this one

 

I can't get any drivers working with this damn 8400GS card.

 

That's also bij me
169.21 and playing CoD 4 for 2,5 hours giving no problems and 50fps

 

do these drivers support 1280x800 and 1440x900 resolutions? because .21 dont and i dont like using 1680x1050 on my 22"

 

Wow, what a difference!

I'm seeing a HUGE difference from 169.09! This 169.25 is giving me great performance! My aero is soooo smooth now and I just finished playing NHL 08 at full graphics and it barely slowed down!

 

lawl im still on 169.04.... im just gunna wait until they release something worthwhile....

now i think about it, hasnt it been a couple of days since they released a driver i want a new one

 

HA!HA! Me too my Majestic Chess game really improved! It looks like a real chess board, and the pieces move soooo smoothly!

 

Just wondering
While most people are saying they can't oc above 196.04 drivers, how come i can oc it fine? all drivers allowed me to oc without a problem.

 

I can't get these GD .25 drivers to install. Keep telling me there are files missing.

 

They overclock fine for me as well.

 

I tried almost every driver from the 169.xx series and i could overclock with EVERY driver...

 

i would try them but im having a hard time getting VISTA TO GODDAMN INSTALL. see, i tried to create another partition on my drive from within vista but it completely screwed everything up so i had to erase the entire drive... but now i cant even get vista to install properly (black screen of death ?) and im currently running the Startup repair thing off my vista disk.... still searching for problems.. why does everything take so long

 

I think it's SP1 messing something up. I had the same problem, but got it to work on my machine.
Try deleting your driver, and use Driver Sweeper to get rid of leftovers. Then revert back to stock driver, which SHOULD contain the missing files. When you've done that, try installing the 169.25

 

No SP1 here.

None of that crap is working. Either it says a file is missing or the sys files have invalid hash and are corrupt.

 

After some more testing, I noticed these driver are awesome! they improved my crysis fps with 5 !
I can now do 1024 , all med, with average 35 fps, and mins of 25 I did not notice the increase before because whatever the game, I change the setting so that I have at least 50 fps. Crysis being so demanding,I`ve tried pushing settings down without killing the graphics, and this driver did the trick!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT !

 

If I could just get the stupid things installed. I keep getting missing file errors.

 

I installed them tonight and they seem to work great. COD4 online seemed to improve as well

 

Finally found a solution to the file not found problem:

Great! Finally a solution, though I managed to install it after 500 attempts, without really knowing the solution

 

What I did was download the driver from laptopvideo2go.com , downloaded the Modified Inf also, and did like the dude on page 4, first post,and it worked.Man, 7950GTX seems even better now
