Release Notes - 163.71

 

Jeebus, how many drivers do they put out? (and why are they all named so weirdly? Didn't 165.x drivers come out a few months ago? Their naming scheme confuses the hell out of me.)

The 163.44's worked great. The 163.67's that I'm using right now work equally great, but didn't change anything. I'll probably just wait until the next WHQL ones come out.

 

Wow, and right when I was getting used to the .69 drivers.

Keep em coming! Need 8600 to operate @ peak

 

Kailoth,
Can u advice me Best Driver for geforce 6100 (the 163.44 crashed)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was installing driver 163.44 for geforce 6100 and vista (32-bit) nearly crashed...i entered safe mode and used system restore to go back to factory provided driver...can someone pls advice me the latest/best driver for 6100?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Thanks for the head up bigspin but I'm done with nvidia's driver for now lol
Look like it's more compability fix than anything else.

 

these mini driver updates are useless.

 

:yes:

I'm not going to update my driver until next big release.

 

I've been hearing some good things about this driver set. Will test it on Vista x64 tomorrow.

Mike.

 

waiting for some benchmarks

 

Which driver set? 163.69 didnt work on my comp...when i installed..computer restarted and then screen suddenly goes dead before entering password mode.


I have vista 32-bit and geforce 6100

 

Can Crysis run on pentium 4 with upgraded graphic card? other specs as follows: 1.5 GB RAM, 75 GB HDD...can u also advice graphic card to play on high end settings?

 

For high end settings you need an Nvidia 8800, no less. I'm guessing a dual core CPU would serve Crysis better than your Pentium 4, but it's probably good enough.

 

laptopvideo2go already has them, any testers?

 

I think people don't want to update drivers every week...including me

 

haha same here, unless they r really worth it..

 

until they release the 10th beta released 'imp'rovement driver, i think ill stick with the 163.69 one for now

 

Gets me an extra 2-3 fps in the CS:S stress test compared to 163.69.

 

I downloaded the vista drivers for my m9750. Working bootifully.

 

2-3fps, my eyes would def. notice such an increase. thanx for the tests though seems like, every gamer would install the newest drivers even if the difference is barely noticeable (or not at all).

 

I installed it as well although at first I didn't really want to... I was trying out the new NGO drivers 1.16369 only to find out that with that driver I can't use the resolution 1440x900. So I uninstalled it and just downloaded 163.71 and using it now. Everything seems the same. lol
