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



    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.

    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?

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


    Anyway, small improvement in 3DM06 (and I do mean small) with the new .70s

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

    I refuse to participate in any debate with creationists because doing so would give them the "oxygen of respectability" that they want.
    Creationists don't mind being beaten in an argument. What matters to them is that I give them recognition by bothering to argue with them in public.

    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...
