Re: NVIDIA ForceWare 185.68 Beta (Vista)
Are you freakin' kidding me?! Another driver! That's gotta be like 3 185 revisions in a week. I'd try it but I don't intend to play Dark Athena and I'm waiting for some better AO support in future revisions.

Re: NVIDIA ForceWare 185.68 Beta (Vista)
Looks like 185.xx broke something in OpenGL
Namely the "deformable bunny" (no it's not the easter bunny)
tum.3D - Computer Graphics and Visualization

With older drivers i saw the bunny directly, now i have to press F8 (for max fps) in first place.

Can s.o. double-check with an officially supported graphics card (i had to patch nv_disp.inf with my 8800GTX)

Re: NVIDIA ForceWare 185.68 Beta (Vista)
All these 185 releases are full of problems; more so than any other beta sets I have ever seen nv release. Some very nice new features and performance but they really need to be put back in the oven for a while longer before I even consider them beta..

Re: NVIDIA ForceWare 185.68 Beta (Vista)
Ever since this release this set was working fine..Apart from the late last week...

My Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW monitor had started to switch off..Just like there is no display signal detected..

Earlier this week i swapped to the latest WHQL set that is released.The problem has been resolved.. So for me this set of Betas are too far advanced for stability.

Re: NVIDIA ForceWare 185.68 Beta (Vista)
I guess I'm one of the lucky few. I've been running on this release since it was posted and I've not had any issues whatsoever.
