Has anyone used the 158.22's yet?Whats the scoop on them?

BlueMak · May 26, 2007, 02:14 AM

They were ok, but I couldn't make Lost Planet work without crashing, so i moved to 160.2

Not too get off track here but I'm hearing lots about "Lost Planet".Good game?????

Well, the PC demo is great fun. Think of Tomb Raider only with far less exploring and far more kicking alien and pirate ass.

They are good drivers

Only strange thing is that Nvidia says them as WHQL
and
when i installed them my computer reported them as NON-WHOL drivers

I tried the 158.22's and 158.27's, but then I also tried the 160.02's and those are the best so far for me, not to mention that the IQ has improved in some of my games (especially for some shadow effects at the distance).

Wow, Im still using 158.19! Guess I should try some these out!

I kinda go by the heavy hitters at Futuremark ORB{3DMARK06}They seem to still stick with the 97.92's.I figure if its working for them it will work for me.

never rate a driver by 3dmark scores. you normally find the drivers that get higher FPS in 3dmark have slightly worse IQ. unless its a miracle performance driver which both ATI and Nvidia make a big deal about - this is normally a short while after a new product launch.
