gebraset Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 NVIDIA kicks ATI's arse in the driver department, and you'll find very few people to disagree with that. QFT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp9801 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 My last upgrade before 196.21 was 191.07. I actually rolled it back to 191.07. The difference between 186.86 and 191.07 was some actual performance increases in some games: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-ge...weaks,8790.html Also, with the 196.21, software overclocking was busted. Latest Nvidia drivers = fail. EDIT: Btw, anyone looking to roll back: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us Oh, I know there were some improvements in the 191.07 driver. Just the only ones they showed the improvement in that I own are Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 and I only recently started playing Fallout 3 again. I'll probably install the 191.07s soon, I just am taking a short break from Fallout 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 NVIDIA has issued an alert regarding the driver issue. They've pulled the drivers from their site and issued rollback instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Capitan Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 The only issues with the 196.21 is with software GPU overclocking. Other than that, it's got no issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzlenitch Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Personally I've had zero issues with the new drivers. YMMV, of course. Then again, I've never had any issues with any drivers I've used and I've always updated to the newest upon release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingoPongo Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 I have no fan issues with the 196.75 drivers either. Oh wait... i have a passive cooled video card... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirro Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 sounds like someone left their computer running all night and paid for leaving it running a intense 3d app 24-7 with improper cooling I've had to "fix" more than one videocard where the fan does not have a shroud and dust has jammed the fan on teh videocard from spinning..

I just installed the 196.21 drivers and they've behaved so far. I had the 191.07 before that and they were fine as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
