    I was getting BSOD with this version of drivers so I switched to the 177.98 and so far so good. The BSOD would come during game play of COD4, or right after exiting that program.

    PCmark06 with 177.92 was 14487
    I don't think I will load the pcmark for this as I am trying to keep it to only the essentials.

    Also I just noticed that with the 177.98 drivers my video cards show up as:

    Nvidia G92-600

    Wonder if that matters.
    They are supposed to be 9800GT's

    I bet you let the "installer" set the drivers up and not the "have disk" method.

    K I uninstalled the 177.98 then ran the driver sweeper just to be sure. Then I used the "have disk method" to install the 177.92 with dox .inf

    I'll see how that works over the next day or so. Also during the "have disk install" I had to install it twice as I have 2-9800GT's in SLI. I hope I did it correctly this time. I'm sure I followed the instructions so I'll see.

    Keep us posted...I have seen several posts about 177.92 and 177.98 not living up to expectation.

    the fact that the lv2g inf recognises your cards as g92-600 means you have card id 060b 10de, which I'm pretty sure is a reflashed 8800M GTX. Dox's inf recognises it as a 9800, the lv2g modded inf doesn't

    Hmmm.. does that mean I don't have 9800GT's? How could I confirm this if that is the case?

    they are the same card anyway, so no need to worry. The only way to check is to pop them out and remove their metal casing and see whats written on the dies and/or stickers on the card itself (not on the heatsink casing)

    I don't get the "have disk method" working on Vista 64. Only on XP :(

    Any ideas why?
