ForceWare 174.70 Beta XP / Vista (x86 and x64) Released

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/506...ialogo2ot4.jpg

These drivers fix the dreaded GeForce 9800GX2 screenshot tearing bug in SLi and give slightly added performance. This is a strange driver. It has INFs for desktop and laptop cards and all Quadro files, so it supports just about every Nvidia GPU out there (no INF modifications needed). It is an International beta dated 03/19/2008 and the desktop INF already supports all cards GeForce 5 - GeForce 9.

Links don't work.. says hotlinking is not allowed.

The links don't work for me too, like posted above. It does only redirect me to another page. Can I find the drivers there?

*fixed*

Works! :up:

Thank you very much!

why arnt these on the nvidia site yet? i just downloaded 8800gts - international - 169.25

just installed drivers... They support quad sli (2 gx2s) same as 174.60. Will test for performance

also - you may want to change the title to 'beta' not release

I can't change the title, and it says "released" not "release"

I'm not sure how to explain how... quad worked just fine for me with 174.60

I just installed the drivers then enabled quad sli in nVidia control panel :shrug:


Anyway, small improvement in 3DM06 (and I do mean small) with the new .70s
don't have time for any more extrensive testing today though :(
hopefully some AA related Crysis bugs will be ironed out :)


Andy, I hope you can get em up and running! 3DM scores may not be great, but gameplay is simply AMAZING!!! :D

installed this on my 9800GX2 all seems OK ! (windows vista 64bit)


:up:

gives me BSOD with the rig in sig. YMMV

why hasnt omega caught up yet with all the dozens of new drivers?

How does this compare to 174.51 in 32 bit XP?

Anyone else get wierd hitching/stuttering in Crysis with these?

boy don't I wish!

Quad sli is only for vista :(

Just like Crossfire X right?

back to 174.60 for me...

.70 causing all kinds of probs for me

Im sure Omega will port over Vista drivers into XP lol.... then you can have Quad SLI in XP hehehe

Its just a matter of time...

with 9800GX2 and windows Vista 64bit its OK , i only had that problem in Crysis using 174.60

with 174.53 and 174.70 its OK !


regards

Any performance increase over the 174.53's though? Or just bugfixes?

Ah - our weekly beta ForceWare dose has landed...

Anyone who's a true hardcore gamer and still on the pure joy that is a CRT.
1600x1200 and above wont let you select 100hz.
85hz seems to be the maximum at 1600x1200 and above...

you will need an OS fix rather than driver fix to run quad sli in XP apparently

Look at my screenshot!

In test drive unlimited i have a problem with invisible cars!!:) I gues that a drivers problem on 9800GX2.
