Newest Nvidia Drivers

[lancer]

Does anyone know which are the newest drivers for the Nvidia cards, i know 66.93 is the official driver, but are there any beta drivers out there that could improve performance?

ok 28 bloody views!

someone must know someone about this or knows someone that knows someone that knows something about this!?

well iirc there were 7x.xx something beta drivers released, but theywere actually released before the 66.93? (correct me if i'm wronganyone!)

I'm running the 66.93, newest i know of.

If you go to there site they have a link to the beta drivers. Not sure if they are better in performance then the offical. They are beta so i wouldnt really use them as of yet. Why is there a slow performance or something?

www.nzone.com is the latest official beta releases...for leaks look at www.nvnews.net

I'm running the 67.66 from nzone and have tried others from nvnews.net...best stability and everything else with the 67.66

screw the official drivers, get some tweaked drivers from www.guru3d.com 8) i'm using the zer0point 6697 drivers on my 6800GT, and love 'em.


Get 'em @ http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=983

actually osnn leaked 71.40 first as well as many of the other 71.x releases, including the first one.

Using 71.70 atm, as I am too lazy to grab 71.80

lol haha well i think the last time i check i remember seeing a 70.xx something like that but im ati so im not too sure

 

[tommy]

anyone tried out the leaked 71 81 yet? Just downloading

 

[emeritus]

I am using them now. I don't see any issues or improvements really.

 

[zeke_mo]

I installed them today and they(dont know for sure) made my temp go up around 10C, went back to the old ones and its fine now....dont know whats up with that

Missed 71.81, using 71.83 but they are tester-nda-signed so I can't share them.
A friend at NVIDIA let me know that these really should have been released to the public on nvidia.com but he doesn't know what the hold up is.

I don't think they will be WHQL signed when they are released, but then that could explain a holdup as testing takes a few days (it seems?)

Anyway, will be nice to see some newer official drivers.
74.xx are fake and 75.xx will be beta tested (don't know if publically or privately) im March and will be built on the .net 2.0 framework so start visioning NVIDIA (ala ATI) Control Center. (I think that was nda ... oops)
