I'm downloading these. Hopefully it fixes my Antialiasing problems...

----------------------------------

UPDATE: So far so good, except for antialiasing -- which I am chalking up to Vista sucking. In XP (with my MUCH inferior Gen 2), I could turn on 4X MULTISAMPLING TRANSPARENCY Antialiasing in Guild Wars with about a 30% performance hit, but I still got between 40-70 fps on average. In Vista (with a MUCH more powerful system), I am usually getting between 60-120fps with NO Antialiasing, but the second I turn on 2x STANDARD (non-transparency) AA, I average between 25-50 fps (~50% worse). Then, going to 4x STANDARD (non-transparency) AA I am usually getting between 16-28 fps (yet another ~50% hit). It's like this in ALL my games, and has been this way with EVERY driver I have tried -- a 50% or so decrease in framerate for each level of AA applied. Is this a Vista problem, or what??? it sucks, because I HATE jaggies... I HATE VISTA!!! :::Pant pant pant:::

Besides that problem, these are averaging about 5-10 fps more in Guild Wars than my previous drivers (MF 163.75). This isn't timedemo or anything, but just running around with my mouse over the built-in FPS counter shows about that improvement. I'll take it. Image quality looks better to me with slightly brighter/more saturated colors than 163.75's, though with noticeably sharper textures. I didn't say BETTER textures, just sharper. There seems to be more depth to the color as well. I'm pretty sure this is how GW was SUPPOSED to look, and USED to with the XP drivers, but I just got used to the blandness of 163.75's so everything looks so good to me, LOL!

I'll try Team Fortress 2, Portal, CoD4 Demo, CoH, RS: Vegas, etcetera later. I'm pretty beat right now.

-------------------------------------

Update 2: The bright/vibrant colors are also in 2D! I love it! Were 163.75's THAT bad, or are these drivers just that good?

-------------------------------------

Update 3: OK, I went into EVERY game I had, and at first thought these drivers sucked, since there was hitching everywhere and slowdowns. Turns out my CPU was stuck at 999 MHz for some damn reason... I restarted and all was well, for the most part. I was getting artifacting on the CoD4 demo, so I backed off my overclock on my GPU, and it was good from there on out. Despite the lower GPU clock (I went down from 600/1400 to 587/1300), EVERY game was smooth as silk. CoH benchmarked at 44.4 ave/61.4 max/19.9 min, which is my best yet. WiC benched at 25 ave/46 max/12 min, which is just about the same as it was before if not slightly faster (I think I got 24/42/12 before). RS:Vegas was smoother than it has EVER been for me -- perfectly hitch and slow-down free. Amazing. TF2 ran noticeably better with less slowdowns on new texture loads. GRAW2 ran with less mouse lag (meaning faster) than before. In all, EVERYTHING ran just as well or FASTER than 163.75 and with less hitching.

But IMHO, if these drivers ran the SAME speed as 163.75's, I'd b happy because the IMAGE QUALITY was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! In comparison to 163.75, everything was richer, deeper, more colorful, with the textures jumping off the page. Sharpness was great, too. Everything about these drivers have been amazing for me! These look to be my old XP 94.20/97.92 drivers -- excellent IQ, high framerates, AND smoothness.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

------------------------------------

Update 4: I had never played Splinter Cell: Double Agent before, and my buddy dug it out for me (it's mine now, LOL). I was able to play that 1-year-old game a little bit at 1920x1200 with MAX settings and it is 100% smooth and stutter-free.

This, by far, is the best driver that's running on my computer right now Tony! but, there is still the occasional lagging. Got 1,750 on 3dmark06 today. So, not too bad.

I don't see why not, if it's Windows Vista, it'll work. The PCI-ID's should be the same, regardless.

There was no MobileForce 64-Bit version of this driver. You can get 169.09 64-Bit, however.

But I've heard OCing isn't allowed with the 169.09 driver. Can I use the 169.04 driver for Vista 32bit on my laptop?
