I'm useing GF 8600m GT, and I've noticed that it's slower then ForceWare 171.16. 3DMark 2006 score went down by 100 points ;/ Does anyone know how it works in games? I'm playing only The Witcher, so it's difficult for me to evaluate driver in other way than useing 3Dmarks :)

I just updated from 169.04 to these drivers

Cs Source stress test on the 169.04 was 208 FPS at my settings and these drivers made it go down to 203 FPS. not much really. Very smooth though and the test was less glitchy than with the 169s

Crysis test with the 169s at 1440X900 med settings was 34 FPS on the first pass and 40 FPS on the second.

With these drivers the first pass was 37 FPS and on the second pass 42 FPS.

Also for those who have a Dell XPS M1730 who were experiencing the reboot hang problem at the welcome screen with XP using any driver over 169.04, that problem is gone with these drivers.

have fun :)

I'm thinking these are official BETAs released by Nvidia just for the 9600GT and not the recent sporadic leaks from other vendors. I am curious as to what they are truly geared for.

Just benched the driver. note ---> 8700M GT SLI (1024MB VID RAM STOCKCLOCKS)

3d mark '06 w/o oc : 8145 (171.16 non-whql)

3d mark '06 w/o oc : 8130 (174.16 non-whql)

so... same thing. BUT NOTICED, smoother in

- Counter-Strike : Source

- Collin McRae : Dirt

other games didnt seem to make a difference. thanks all! y'all been very helpfull! since i got ma 1730 from dell.

I have a Dell XPS M1710 with the 7950GTX card, and after gaming for awhile (Red Orchestra) it powered down because it was reading too hot, although it doesn't seem any hotter than before. Previously I was using the latest Nvidia driver, then installed the 174.16 from this website. Anyone else with this same setup found a more stable driver?

Got a M1710 with the 7950 gtx: Same problem of power down due to heat since the 169 version.

Running much hotter than with the original drivers, which came with the notebook, where it immediately runs cooler.

But after really cleaning the fans nicely and installing the Fan Controller "I8kfanGUI" it gives me not more than 60° on the CPU and 80° on the GPU, and I use it with am ambient Temp of around 35° here in Africa.

Hope, it helps.

Well i've been using 174.16 a couple of days now and noticed a few problems. Previously I had 169.04 with few problems, other than i felt like trying something new really.

TF2 jumps around sometimes.

C&C 3 has black squares when scrolling sometimes

Call of duty 4 freezes sometimes when turning.

So I've just installed the 171.17 today for the first time as a downgrade from 174.16, purely because nobody else seems to have been interested in them as there's only 1 post in the forum.

I just played TF2 and it flies.

No more black squares in C&C 3

CoD4 is much better when turning around quickly.

If it stays this way with UT3 i'll keep the 171s instead.

Just decrease the 'Maximum Pre-rendered Frames' value and this keyboard/mouse lag should disappear in 174.16.

Jes You Can, But i don't no that is usefull. Because the new Driver optimize the new Cards. The GF 7600 (like mine but with 512MB) is to old. nVidia don't care about the optimizing of these card..

and often it is so that the new driver are slower in older games then older driver. but older grafic cards are to slow for new games, so it is not usefull to use new drivers for old grafic cards.

what about using these drivers for an NVIDIA GeForce GO 7900GTX? The 512mb one. I am using 169.28 still right now and wondering if I should update.

Can anybody check if the SmartDimer is working?

I'm Compal IFL90 user with WinXP and smartdimer doesn't want to work at all. I need to change bisplay brightness profile settings so bad and this one is the only chance. :)

Hi there! Is anybody here who have tested this driver on 8400M GS? I have HP Pavilion dv6760er (Russian edition) and wonder if I could use this driver.

P.S. Sorry for my rude English.

No way.... :)

In my GeForce 7300 (Dell Inspiron 6400) there is no way I can make it work :)

Returning back to the Dell official "nVidia GeForce Go 7300, GeForce Go 7400, Driver, Windows XP, Multi Language, Inspiron MM061, XPS MXC062, v. 84.69 (MS 6.14.10.8469), A01" drivers

Drivers installed and working perfect!

Best driver ever... at least playing NFS PROSTREET

30 FPS constantly... no more stuttering every 10 minutes

3dmark scores were pretty normal

3dmark05 = 6367

3dmark06 = 3765

on the other hand, temps were pretty good... 85C tops, after 1 hour of intense playing
