NvidiA drivers (little headsUp).

[SnW]

As titel a headsup....

Don't use the new NvidiA drivers,

I mean these,

Version:

258.96 WHQL

Release Date:

2010.07.19

i installed them yesterday just to test them and there is a PPD difference of 10xx on both my GTX260´s and GTS250´s .

These are still the best , by my testing,

Version:

197.45 WHQL

Release Date:

2010.04.13

Happy Folding...

I wonder if Fermi based cards suffer from this as well. I'll hold off on updating drivers just in case. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm using these drivers with the 460 and a GTS250, all seems to be in order PPD wise

O yea of course /slaps self...

hmm well better that there is no PPD lose for you

O my i made a BIG mistake (LOL) i forgot to adjust the IQ settings,

now installing the new NvidiA drivers for my new GTX460...

So in other words these new drivers (as Steve already mentioned) are just as good as the old drivers!

Do the IQ settings affect Folding performance?
