ForceWare 71.80!!!

AMD4Life · Jan 31, 2005, 10:02 PM

These drivers are dated January 20th and they DO fix the yellow water problem in HL2 as I have just tested these myself. They seem to work even better than the 71.20 drivers, but I have only tested it in HL2. Will get back to you with more results!

Good question. I don't recall seeing a 71.80 beta in the ZP Beta Site.

lostboyuk · Feb 1, 2005, 12:03 AM

well I have the file here........and can say they run A1 .....aint a clue wot NV4_display they come from.....obviously a hacked from mr.Zeropoints previouse tweaked driver creation.......full marks to mr. xxx ..............coz they run great.even the old clamp is there................nice.You can actually get some good stuff off s....nova now and then.

mike2h · Feb 1, 2005, 06:34 AM

zer0points modded to become XXX drivers....

koda · Feb 1, 2005, 04:36 PM

I installed these last night and played a few rounds of CS. I was getting a lot of stutter, i think I'm going back to the zer0points.

PoopyTheJ · Feb 1, 2005, 06:23 PM

We haven't even started our 7180 beta program yet.....

jasonbourne · Feb 2, 2005, 02:45 PM

That could be reason why it takes so long to get it released, they spend all their time for this new *spits* multimedia standard.

CDsDontBurn · Feb 2, 2005, 06:35 PM

how does the 71.80 perform against the 71.24? the 71.40/71.50 sucked i heard

Shaga · Feb 2, 2005, 06:49 PM

71.50 has excellent quality & performance, but there are still problems. Buggy installer, a small increase in heat(huge for some) and still toxic hl2 water.

71.40 without modding ain't worth it. I recommend to stay out of 71.21->71.50, those are the ones with toxic water. 71.20 does fine, as 71.80 does. And I've even heard of 70.78's outperforming in quality over other drivers without modders aid.

MiDKnYtE · Feb 2, 2005, 06:54 PM

The 71.80s are actually for the Quadro cards. I've heard of people with temperature problems after installing these drivers. I'm sticking with the 71.2x sets for now.

Both ATI and Nvidia are going with .NET plugins. ATI already has their Control Center. I'm not sure if Nvidia will require .NET or just have it as an option.

Shaga · Feb 2, 2005, 06:57 PM

70.78 is also mostly for quadro cards, but it doesn't matter as far as the IQ/performance is excellent.

CDsDontBurn · Feb 2, 2005, 07:05 PM

i'll check out the 71.80s. if i don't like them, imna go back to the 71.24s. They've done me the best so far

not had any issues with perf, iq, temp?

Shaga · Feb 2, 2005, 09:13 PM

I got 2c temp increase, no more hl2 toxic water and performance was at least fine, but share your thoughts CDsDontBurn

MiDKnYtE · Feb 2, 2005, 10:08 PM

I saw some guys with temp increases here:

jasonbourne · Feb 4, 2005, 02:52 PM

coldfrontt · Feb 6, 2005, 02:42 PM

Ran 3DMark03....gpu temp at start was 48/41...at end was 65/56, using a 5950U. Temps don't seem to be prob compared to other drivers.
