Yes, I have the same problem when I'm playing COD4 on my G1S as well...

Can anyone help us? I can notice the performance is better with this driver but the pulsing effect ....-_-"

G1s too and the same problem...almost drives me mad. This effect stopps, when changing lower details etc....

On a DELL XPS M1710 (T7200, 2Go DDR2, HD 7200 bpm, Geforce GO 7950 GTX) GOW runs on max Settings (Graphics options, Résolution in 1920x1200) with 169.12 and CRYSIS very well too.

Yeap I went and updated the bios on my G1S to the new 205 version that Asus put out. I just used the Easy Flash that is already on the computer in the BIOS and it updated quick. No more pulsing style lag. The link that sgtmatt1 posted is really good

These are great drivers. I've gotten my best 3dMark06 score (4242) using them, and TF2 is now running like a dream on my G2S

Vista + 1 Gb RAM + demanding game = ouch. You could do with abit more RAM for that, thats more then likly the problem. At least my vista takes about 600+ mb loaded, i got all fancy stuffs like aero on though

On a more ontopic note, those drivers seem to be stable and good, havnt noticed any BSODs (yet... :) )

You should try to use the "Readyboost" function in vista, actually it helps you to "fake" that you have more ram.. I have enough ram i my laptop, but i can still fell the difference! Just use an USB key (empty), and the make this one boost your system!!

I believe these drivers were released for the sole purpose of increasing performance in FFXI. I think it's somewhere in the release notes.

this is true, i play FF, and it helps considerably (FFXI is basically an emulated PS2 game.. the coding is horrible and drivers never really went well with it lol)

Square Enix (SE) has always blamed NVIDIA for the problems, and NVIDIA denied them. At the last game convention SE announced NVIDIA was making new drivers to optimize the game (finally realized it was them).

and thats that, yay for this update

I just tried to install these drivers, (These seem to be made for FFXI players, which i have been for 5 years).

I'm running vista 32 bit

Geforce Go 6150

When i try to install, my computer crashed, and wouldn't reboot untill i went to safe mode and switched back to the old drivers. In the list of G-cards that these drivers suppoter i see Geforce 6150, but the "Go" is missing. Do i just have the only G-card that can't use this very much needed update? If it should support it, what am i doing wrong? i used Quickstart Guide at the start of this post for installing. I'm hearing nothing but great things about this driver on my FFXI fourms saying it has fixed most FPS problems... i would like to use it XD.

I thought i was using the laptop drivers to the setup, and i did use the modified INF before the install, Sorry no AIM only MSN XD. I've been using only this site for the download/install, i only used BG to get to the fourms

does this fix the crazy flickering that's been in the other 169s? or is it really only for FFXI?

Hi, I have an Alienware m9750 with dual 7950's and Vista (32), and every video driver I install except the stock ones have the same issue. When SLi is enabled and I try to bring the system out of standby, everything appears to be fine except the entire screen is gery/white. The computer must be hard reset in order to get it working again. This does not happen with the stock driver, it resumes from standby just fine.

Thanks in advance for the assist, I REALLY need to update my drivers ^_^.

well just tryed this again.... computer crashed again, and took a good 30+ mins to restore my computer so i could even see the desktop. I've installed both from the way the guide says, and from the setup in the file itself. It says it works with my card but all i get is the bluescreen of death... Really just sick of it, PC/Laptop/Vista/Nvidia it has giving me nothing but problems. I think i'm going to go buy a mac today >.>
