I guess if you don't have anything else better to do.  I just never got what my purchase decisions have to do with anyone else.

Sorry Surf. I was just struck by the irony of
Quote:Apple just upped their cards to the 9 series which makes me wish my computer broke a little later

and couldn't help but take a dig. I didn't mean anything by it. And well, the comic was just a funny, relevant comic that was posted on Reddit this morning.

I know  Tongue, I was giving you a hard time back.  Anyways I get a kick out of the microsoft digs too so I'm not one to talk.  I do think Apple's products are overpriced though.


Re: To anyone with an Nvidia 8 series card - copulatingduck - 10-16-2008

Meh. I think operating systems in general are overpriced, apple's hardware is really overpriced, most other pre-builts are overpriced as well, and gamer rigs are for fags with more money then sense. /jealous

well that's why you usually don't buy a mac for gaming.

180 drivers are out of beta. Haven't installed yet but the nVidia page makes some pretty bold claims about performance increases. Only for 8800 and above cards.


Re: To anyone with an Nvidia 8 series card - [fr31ns]Karrde - 11-21-2008

for my 8600m GT (with altered .inf to make it install) 178.13 seems to be the gold standard so far, even for 8800 users.  Despite nvidia's claims to the otherwise.


Re: To anyone with an Nvidia 8 series card - x - 01-10-2009

181 drivers released a couple of days ago.

Any noticable differences between the last drivers?

They're probably just the same thing with "support" added for the new cards.

They always make it so hard to tell. The release notes just seemed to list bug fixes and, as you say, support for the 285/295 cards. That said, I'm assuming they include the changes implemented in the beta release last month to improve GTAIV performance, which seemed to make quite a difference for some people so I guess there are improvements. I've only played TF2 since installing but that ran smoothly anyway so it's not a great reference point.

hmmm. I installed it and now I can't go 10 seconds in Fallout 3 without crashing. BRB installing the old driver.


Re: To anyone with an Nvidia 8 series card - Blues - 01-12-2009

I was going to make a joke about the changes being more crashes like with all the new driver releases, but you beat me to it Karth. +1
