thank u!!!

will post some update later if all things goes right,if this driver compatible with riva tuner then i can do head on comparison..

some other users report it to work well in setting up the fan to 100% thru nvidia control panel.
also some say IQ is much improving but still havent iron out the AA bug.
crysis give fairly few more fps on this driver(demo)

so far no other user report otherwise...so keep hoping for the best guys..

thanks pal

ok here is an update of quick run:

coh-of: all max setting no AA (1440x900) dx10
169.28 beta: 45.3/60.0/3.9
171.14 beta: 47.9/62.5/2.8

wic latest patch max setting no AA (1440x900) dx10
169.28 beta: 38/21/56
171.16 beta: 41/18/60

all test run under window vista/8800gts 512mb/overclock

bro... my fan suddenly full 100% all the time after i finish updating the driver... why is this happening? any clue?

yup i think that is one of the fix,few other user report it in also,if you want to slow down your fan again you can just download n tune from nvidia or riva tuner eitherway both work fine..

ok...thanks bro... will try it later

Got Vista 64bit version?

didnt feel any FPS/performance improve for me....

ok here is a new link the old link doesnt work anymore i presume..
