**Video Card Drivers**

[McArra]

Once again XG version of 76.41 rocks!!

 

[McArra]

Ok I found a problem with this XGs. DVD playback CPU load has increased in 30% with WinDvD with the exact same config.

Have you tried normal 76.41?

 

[hans030390]

yeah, how good are the new beta drivers (76.41)? Is it worth changing to them from the official 71.84?

Yes, seen to be related to XGs, not a big problem though.

Very wierd

Fixed. When i updated the drivers a long time ago what i think happened is i put a } instead of a ] , therefore it screwed everything up. I had to redo everything. Thanks for the heads up.

Just linked to new benchmarks.

I dunno guys i find it really hard to believe the DNA drivers are double the speed in some of those games. At any rate decent review IMO.

They are moving (might have moved now) to a new server and doing maintenance etc.... They said it is very unstable right now and hopefully the site will be back up in a couple of days.

Is there another mirror for the 76.41's?

 

[Insidious]

Try a program called refresh lock! It works great, just can't remember the website. Try a search in google or something.

The 76.41 have strange effects on Far Cry and HL2...also, on some computers, they lower the performance horribly...

 

[McArra]

I can't see those issues with XG76.41s... maybe something else screwed?

I have noticed that after a quicksave or a loading point in HL2, sometimes it will "kick" out of SLI mode. I run at 16x12 4xAA 8xAF and when it kicks out it is pretty obvious. Framerates drop hard and fast immediately. I simply hit the quickload button and it will "kick" back in.

Using XG 76.41.

Give em a chance .... Seems like all my stickies wore out at the same time.

Beta drivers are coming out kinda slow after the WHQL release
