Is this the same as the 175.16 that was release a few days earlier?

Vikingod · May 13, 2008, 09:43 PM

Yup, only difference is the WHQL certification

BlueMak · May 14, 2008, 02:36 AM

Ok, no reason to get it then, thanks.

The new drivers blew out my speakers (they only put out static noise), any ideas? I have 2 8500's with SLI enabled.

Nvidia couldn't have picked a better driver for WHQL. Best I've used in a while.

I hope Omega will make a mobile version of this driver!

Currently using LV2G's version.
