Hi Guys,
just a quickie 😉
I have recently bought a 6800gt nvidia card, and want to know the answer to the following.
i have a media centre pc, but do you think i would get a better driver for my new card if i downloaded the standard windows xp driver, or the media centre driver? The reason i ask is that this isn't the card preinstalled in my machine but is a new card specifically for games etc, and i think that maybe the windows xp drivers may be faster than media centre ones?
Any input???????
PLEASE!!!

Always go to the manufacturer for your drivers not MS.
If you want to try different drivers try Omega for your card. I think TTT uses them, wait for him if you like.

Use the driver cleaner before installing new ones.
thanks Radarman.
What are these omega drivers you speak of? Are they reliable?

I have ATI and tried some, I didn't care for them see what TTT has to say about the ones for Nvidia.
They are used by many gamers, they claim that they are better than the company issues.
i will await TTT to reply.
thanks tho, radarman, as always a help!!

TTT i call for you.....

I would not recomend d/loading he newest Nvidia drivers everyone is having problems with them 😕 go with the older ones. The Omega drivers did not work that well either but harwe is a link
I agree with Habu, you want the latest WHQL Certified Nvidia drivers which is version 77.77 (Release Date: August 11, 2005). Get the drivers, user guides and release notes here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_77.77.html
the 77.77 drivers are fine. I've been using them for a week with my 6600gt.
No problems anywhere..
There was a problem with the 77.72 version drivers to do with video display, but that was corrected in the new ones.

Interesting,
What kind of prolblems Ranald?
my select a aircraft screen is blank,every time I try to select the kneeboard the screen goes black and only goes away when I have finished using the kneeboard 😕 I have a decrease of about 4 FPS I tried using omega but they were a big decrease in quility then I tried switching bach to the 77.72 drivers (I was using them before) and now I just get the same problems as the 77.77
I had the same problem. Try this
Right click on desk top and go to properties
Go to settings and advance tap.
Click on AA change to 4
Click on AF change to 8
As I'm at work I can't see what my settings are but I think this is what they are know.
