This driver is kick butt! Image quality and performance is great in 3dMark and with popular games, as reported by users.

Do these cure the corrupt ground textures in UFO afterlight?

BTW: I'm new on here as I have just switched camp from ATI to Nvidia, the ATI/AMD drivers got that bad they left me and many more with no other choice but to throw our Radions in the bin.

The nice thing to do, generally, is to try them out and inform us of the results. If they fix issues for you, what issues, what their performance was like, etc...

Things like that.

I use the 175.16s -- they're fantastic. Modded the inf to work on my laptop, temperature, under general use, hovers around 56... under hours of gaming it maxes around 93.

The quality and everything is great!

Okay I tried them with UFO AL and still the corrupt ground textures. Looks like I am stuck with 163.75, the only drivers that work with UFO AL.

Great drivers, the best I've seen IQ wise. Even the Desktop looks better.

All the 175 series drivers I've tried (175.12 beta, 175.16 beta, 175.16 WHQL) cause hard locks for me in Civ IV.

I was running the 174.74 beta for a full month without problems, and rolling back to them fixes everything, but damnit, I want my shiny new drivers.

Please don't tell me that Nvidia are going down the same road as ATI with there infamous 8 series driver, I have only just changed over from ATI and would hate to go through the same run of crappy drivers with Nvidia.
