Well i ran 3dmark 06 in Vista and i scored about 240 points more. This was running the setting of "Let Application decide" in the control panel which is default for settings.

I will Try XP soon.

"New Nvidia Vista and XP 32-bit Beta Driver is Out"

The first post has the link for Vista 32-bit beta driver

The second post is for Windows XP 32-bit beta driver.

Edit:

I edited the posts to make it more clear now, so there should be no confusion now.

[filthy]

Your running windows XP 32-bit right?

If so download the driver in second post for windows XP.

[AmdWolfman]

it said that is for vista. downloading all this junk ,i'll have to format soon. but need to finnish off some games first. Thx anyway

[Madmax]

The one in the second post os for XP 32-bit. The one in the first post is for Vista 32-bit.

[Madmax]

PPL DON'T USE THESE DRIVERS

They have issues in Crysis Under XP and in Vista.


Although they are nice for 3dmark programs, Nvidia has a made buggers out of them for Crysis.

[filthy]

They work great for me in Crysis on Vista x64.

[Madmax]

That is 64-bit different then 32-bit, also can you run 1600x1200.

[filthy]

Yes 64 bit is different than 32bit, just like an apple is different than an orange, but stating it because some people with x64 Vista can still use this driver.

And no I cannot run 1600x1200 as my 19" WXGA LCD maximum's resolution is 1440x900 @ 75 Hertz.

[Madmax]

My point exactly is 1600x1200 @85hz is what the majority of gamers with a 19 inch CRT monitor will want to run. Therefore with the 32-bit Beta Drivers they are not good.

How many ppl here is running past that resolution?

Just curious is all.
