I'm not sure if its worth it, I do use Purevideo and it seems there were some tweaks for it but my BF2 and Oblivion run better than ever and I'd hate to mess that up

Great drivers but like the 91.45 set they make my videos play very oversaturated. If anyone happens to run into the same problem, disabling video color temperature correction fixes it. Speedy drivers otherwise

It's probably the bug listed under open issues in the release notes (the one to do with DVI output and video colour mode). Wonder if they'll ever fix it, has been there ever since the first 90 series driver was released... they must assume that most people don't use DVI therefore can't be bothered doing anything about it?

This is assuming you're using DVI of course.

It only happens with the 91.45 and 91.47 drivers (for me at least). The previous sets (91.33 and 91.37) were okay. Seems like its something recent

Masamune_Howard is on a distinguished road

This may not be the place to ask, but I'm wondering if these drivers are okay for those of us using non-SLI setups? I've just got a single card running on AGP (7800GS - I know, ick), but it's been ages since I upgraded drivers. I held off on the 91.45's because I heard there were some crazy errors for people who weren't running SLI. Are these drivers pretty safe and stable for such a setup? Thanks!

There seems to be a big list of things not working in the new Control panel lately... I wonder if these are any better, or have fixed anything.

Well I installed them and as far as the control panel goes, it seem to be a step up.. Certain things still missing from new CP (coolbits stuff - like frames to render ahead setting), adding custom resolutions in new CP broken still, and adding profiles STILL BROKEN in old CP!


Getting better though. Seems a little more polished- hopefully they are working on these small bugs in the CP (both old and new). I would like to use the old CP, and have it fully functional, or have all functions working in new CP.. as it is I need to switch back and forth for all functions I use regularly. That is pretty lame.


Off to test 3D performance and image quality.
