but for GeForce 8800 GS n above will show 180 WHQL for the latest driver

Wah,now Geforce 7 series already out of support for this driver...
Also,graphic card below 8800GS also not supported...

go here for modded inf ..

thnx 4 the info..

If use modified inf, does the performance also show for the card that officially not supported?

It works better with this update for my 9800GTX+.

lolz go get a new card wey GF7 is already buried in stone age many years ago

lol...i already own 8800GT...See my sig..
But got another rig than run 6600GT...
If Geforce 7 already buried, then Geforce 6 now already in heaven...haha

install on my pc,but xtreme tuner cannot changed fan speed. revert back to 178.26 and its work. Im using galaxy 9600GT.

maybe xtreme tuner didnt support the new driver yet?

hi i also cannot adjust my fan speed either xtreme tuner nor nvidia control panel after updated to this driver...any solution?
im using Galaxy 9800GT

GeForce 180.70 Beta

hope this work.

8500/8600 no longer supported

eventhough through modded inf?

Don't know.. didn't try

Doesnt work.

thanks for the update.

i guess it should work through modded inf files.
that's the only way to override the driver.

8600 and lower users

please throw your fcuking card now and get the 9X00 card instead hahaha

thks 4 the update anyway

You can laugh now cause you're rich b**t....one day you will know..you're maybe geek always get the latest version of EVERYTHING!!

180.70 beta still cannot work with extreme tuner when adjusting the fan speed

nvidia always left behind the old card not like AMD ATI.

Anyone notice NVIDIA's shadow effect is flickering?
