Nvidia releases ForceWare 169.01 Beta

[dengyong]

Well I did my test in 05. So it could stress the cpu, Since for some reason on some overclocks, if the CPU isn't stable in 05, But it would be stable in 06. So just wanted to run a CPU test too.

also, I call lies.

Here is My GPU clock vs Yours.
Core Clock 675 MHz vs 732 MHz
Memory Clock 1053 MHz vs 1106 MHz

Tell me whats wrong with that picture.

I'm not sure what your asking me there but my os is not tweaked in that 3dmark06 run and my single 8800gtx has volt mods and running the clocks I stated for that run. I did provide a link to my published results.

what I'm calling you on is, I'm pretty sure at +700Mhz, Anything gains points lol. And I think people want benchmark driver based tests without v-mod overclocks.

Wrong, my previous run was made at the same core 732 and the mem at 1127 and before the 3dmark06 patch, so it wasn't reading my gpu clocks.

16631 for 169.01 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=3535396

And a comparison between 163.75 and 169.01 at stock gtx clocks of 621/1000

I can back up everything I post so GROW UP!

It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Are the 167.26 or these drivers better?

Its hard to tell but so far it seems under vista 32 and xp home the new drivers are more stable than the previous 167.26.

There is no true performance difference between these and 167.26s.

I just tested them.

Yah it doesnt seem as if there is any gains but rather increased stability.

P.S. i can atest to dengyong scores. The modifications he has done to his card DO allow for increased performance thus the higher scores in benchmarking.

[dengyong]

Slightly better performance increase at stock gtx clock than overclocked.

Test results in post #29.

This driver also fixes the desktop resize issue for hdtv.

this driver improved frames in crysis for me, that also work well with HL2 Ep2, UT3 demo.

My card still overclocks fine with riva 2.05 and 2.06
gtx at 650/1620/2000

also the 64 bit dont run for me either with any driver I have tried, it just hangs in one spot or another almost right after it launches...

[Soulburner]

Over 163.76, this gave me another 3-4fps in the Crysis GPU timedemo.

i still dont know whats wrong here. im on vista, specs in sig. and i lost almost 600 points in 3dmark06. i havent tried that new patch though for mark, so i will try that.

my crysis performs worse aswell. but seems most people love these new betas...

ill try em again, and the new riva

Try this, Uninstall all Nvidia based drivers, Then use Guru3D Driver Sweeper to clean ATI, Nvidia, and Nforce, then Reinstall these drivers.

I gained another 400 +/- 3DMark06 with stock settings but they dont like to be OC'ed with the last beta drivers I could easaly overclock to 680Mhz core seems this new driver will either lock up or end 3Dmark during testing.

[514y3r]

the 3DMark06 Hotfix did the trick for me.... So went ahead and did some tweaking...

163.75 Beta Driver (680 core 1100 memory):



169.01 Beta (I was getting artifacts @ 680 core, so clocked it down slightly to 671Mhz)
