Dusty Rhodes Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I will be upgrading to the GTX 295 and am wondering what the BEST drivers are for Vista Home Ultimate 64 bit. I have an ATI card as annotated below and the 8.12 drivers are the BEST ATI drivers with stability and performance. Thanks in advance for your recommendations. Dusty Rhodes Play HARD, Play FAIR, Play TO WIN Win 7 Professional 64 Bit / Intel i7 4790 Devils Canyon, 4.0 GIG /ASUS Maximus VII Formula Motherboard/ ASUS GTX 1080 8 GB/ 32 Gigs of RAM / Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog / TrackIR 5 / 2 Cougar MFD's / Saitek Combat Pedals/ DSD Button Box FLT-1
S77th-RYKE Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 the 181.22 work well for me but CUDA doesn't seems a lot of Vista users get problems enabling CUDA . the new ones are out since april 2 , 182.50 maybe they fixed it , haven't tried them yet .

crazysundog Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Im using 182.08 here, seems stable, but 182.50 is most recent right now. Im using a GTX260core216
Safari Ken Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I got pretty significant performance improvements in many games, upgrading from 182.08. A few games that were on the fence with me (I hate to turn down graphics settings, even in the face of middlin performance) suddenly run great. That was going to the 182.46 beta release; I didn't actually know 182.50 was final until I just read this thread. :D
AlphaInfinity Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I am running the latest drivers on my 260 192 and I have noticed that the framerates in Black Shark tend to fluctuate more than usual. Earlier driver releases seemed like they provided a more consistent and stable frame rate.

PoleCat Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) The answer to this question changes every few days usually. I am currently using the 185.68 betas...very stable performance on multiple systems in multiple flavors of XP and Vista x86 and x64. Will give them a go on the latest Win 7 builds shortly. Nice drivers so far. If you want beta releases you can get them at www.guru3d.com as well as a number of other sites like it. If you want to use any new driver set on your Geforce equipped laptop/desktop (even for a Geforce card that is unsupported in a particular build) head over to www.laptopvideo2go.com at this site you can get the latest driver sets and also a seperate pre-modded inf file that gives you support for almost all Geforce cards in the line for most any release. Here you may also find the DOX drivers these are customized and tweaked for performance. Out Edited April 11, 2009 by PoleCat http://www.104thphoenix.com/
Danja Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I'm using a laptop and Dox's 182.46 is the first driver with which LOMAC doesn't crash after 20-40 minutes of gameplay. I'm probably going to try out his 185.68 shortly, but 182.46 is definitely stable.
