32 Bit XP Version: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=221342
Gained me a cool 530 '06 points with same OC. A nice leap in performance for the 8800 series in XP. Now all we need is this kind of improvement in Vista with OC'ing support and I am happy.
this support other series or just GF8?
Yeah, same question as metro.cl: Is this just for the 8800 series or for the regular geforce series too?
Looks like it is for all. In the Guru thread people are talking about GF6 improvements:D
on the .inf file there appear all series of VGAs so i guess it works with them
It appers to be ther version that will appear on the 8600 series of driver discs shipped with the cards.
Awesome!
You will want to download and save a copy of this..;)Quote:

Tried it on my 7800gt on xp pro. Would not let me install. Google'd it and it appears so far to be only for the 8 series cards. Anyone else?
i also confirm the boost went from 10844 forceware 97.94, intel core 2 duo E6400 @ 3.72Ghz 1.5v(1.46 actual), XFX 8800GTS running @ 658/1002 and crucial ballistix PC2-6400 running @ 930 4-4-4-12. and got to 11405 forceware 158.16 with same clocks

anyone have the release notes for 158.19? the link on the nvidia site seems to be down.
i also noticed 500 point improve over 9794, however nv tray won't let me use settings i've been using. it seems to be stuck @ 637/1001. anyone else having the same problems
gained me exactly 451 points with 8800gts OCed to 640/980
there is also the 158.18 vista (both 32/64 bit) version available on the nvidia site.
I installed these drivers (the vista x86 version) last night. Here is what i found:
1) installation was smooth. no problems
2) 3dmark06 dropped about 80pnts (but other report an increase)
3) no fan control
4) no DV
5) ATITool works fine with it.
6) Half-Life2 seems a tad bit smoother.
thats as far as i got with the testing.
* make sure you follow the instructions for installation.
here is the link for the vista x32 version
