3DMark05 texture corruption like mad...rolled back the drivers and it was gone.

These get rid of the shadow bug in BF2 and also make the shadows look somewhat like they have some AA-AF filtering when you have it enabled, which the 78.01 the edges of the shadows always had jagged edges. I don`t get anything out of the norm with 05. Drivers seem real nice.

Hmm, I ran that bench a number of times and it looked OK. Where specifically did you see the corruption so I can look for it?

Might try downloading it again sound like maybe the file was corrupted.

Oh, you don't need to look for it. Like I said, major on my screen. Also, when I enabled SLI with these drivers I get a message that the Video Link is not installed. I have tried two of them and they both give me the same message. AFAIK they are linked just fine...never had a problem with any other drivers before.

yeah it's the drivers...i get strange 3dmark scores..like 9400 in SLi!!!!!Yet once i got 12900...seems to not be making the transition from lowpower3d to highpower 3d...but i'm using an asus card and a evga card together. Bioses lead to different "stop-points" when adjusting the clocks on either card, so maybe that's why i get the funky scores.

it;s 2d texture corruption i get, BTW, and not 3d...only during the CPU tests. Too bad, becaseu all of the 8x.xx drivers do this, but becasue i am using two differetn cards for now, they are the only way i can get sli going without flashing first.

The TOP is totaly different BIOS wise than the eVGA, if that is what you had. I would simply flash the cards with your own BIOS to match them for SLI. Problem solved.

It's not a "top" card..just plain old asus...was one of the first released, i guess. Anyway, the only difference is the 430 for the asus, and 450 for the EVGA, to outwards appearances, but it seems as though the divider is set a bit differently on the each card.

in regards to bios flashing...i'm about to do so.

Do these allow adjusting the clocks of each card seperatly or are they still holding off on that for a future release?
