Looking for Good video drivers for Sli3

I am wondering what drivers you guys are running on your x205 sli3 systems that work, but work well for you for gaming. The Toshiba ones seem to be lacking and when I downloaded and installed 169.04 for vista, the HD-DVD player didn't want to load.

I am also interested to find out if anyone tried the Crysis demo. Looking for performace specifically with sli3.

Thanks

 

on my SLi1, performance is totally acceptable with Crysis, so you should be even a tad better. Running at 1440x900 on mine with medium to high settings, I'm getting ususally 30-40 FPS, an occasional drop for a second into the upper 20's, but overall running fine. For some reason the cut scene movies run a bit slower, but a bit of tweaking the settings got it running well enough. You should be fine, I plan on picking the game up as soon as its out.

As for drivers, I'm using the 169.01's, just havent had time to upgrade to the 169.04's, but they run great, and allow overclocking. As for your HD DVD problem, that's actually gonna heppen when using anything other than the Toshiba supplied drivers... BUT, there are several posts here where you can copy over the supplied .inf file from the Toshiba drivers over the newer 169's (or whatever for that matter) and just change the version info and then you'l get to use the newer drivers AND keep using the HD DVD player... do a search for it in this forum, I don't have the link off hand and gotta get back to work, but check it out. It works well.

 

I'm running XP on my sli3, and I'm running the 169.01 drivers. Ntune lets me overclock, but I haven't actually tried it. It runs bioshock great, even though my machine wouldn't run it hardly at all with the Toshiba Vista install.

Anyway, 169.01 for me until I see reason to upgrade.

 

I am running XP too with the 169.02 drivers on my 9349 and it runs Bioshock just fine I am getting ready to try out Gears of War and see how slow that runs, that should be fun!! LOL!!
