Well...it took longer than I thought but I got a hold of the newest leaked driver set.

These are dated 09/08/2002 and carry the version 6.13.10.6159. (Packaging Version 7.76)

Please note!!! These leaked driver set only work on the 8500 and 9700 series cards.

Enjoy everyone!!!

Thanks Candyman, downloading them now for a try.

Hope these will work with the 8500DV, the 6143 were a no go.

If they don't, well, I'm sure all the other 8500's variant folks will enjoy.

09/08/2002? how's that possible? it's 8/28/2002...

Okay I'm a newbie when it comes to these drivers with the control panel.

I don't have the 9700 yet; how do you install these?

In many other countries outside the US, they put day/month/year rather than month/day/year Therefore, these are dated August 9, 2002 and not september 8 heh

You install the Core drivers first.....when it asks you to reboot, say NO. Go ahead and install the control panel next. Once installed, it will ask you to reboot, say YES. That is it!

Its all very good, but i d/l the previous leaked drivers, (forgot the number) but anyway the point is, do they make you computer give that extra bit of speed, or is the New Nvidia on top of this with there new drivers?

Arikel · Aug 30, 2002, 01:28 PM

Any chance of us seeing an Omega/Plutonium set of these?

Jeff · Aug 31, 2002, 03:53 AM

Most likely yes, and most likely the omega/plutonium xk1.1.59 will support every card, including 7000/7200/7500/8500/9700/M6/M7/M9.

This driver behave the same as the previous one 6143. It randomly crash when I played some 3D games (Warcraft III mainly recently). Give some ghost like grapic with other simple kid games. It may be more stable when freshly installed (install DirectX , then sound driver, then ATI) and last longer (upto half an hour). However, after running some program, espcially WinDVD or Tweak WinDVD, it will crash within one minute on starting WC3. It crashed on the 2nd test of 3Dmark2001 SE.

Previous drivers (e.g. 6118, etc.) all have same problem.

I don't need extra speed, but when can they give a STABLE one.
