Try downloading them again as they could be corrupt.

I tried like 5 times but didnt work. DLd it from Guru3d and it worked fine.

When I tryed to install it says it was a outdated veriosn. I have the beta drivers I got a week back.

[darkorb]

get the new WHQL ones

[bobletman]

Alright Ill do that tonight thanks.

[werty316]

How do the new v163.75 compare to v169.04? More or less the same?

[bobletman]

I just downloaded them, I havent had time to test them out full but they are pretty much the same.

iv only played cod4, ill try crysis tomorow, too tired atm

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they compare to the 169.04 BETA drivers...:???:

From a first look, it looks like the main difference is the official support for the 610i/620i/630i chipsets with built-in 7050/7100/7150 GPUs...:roll:

It'll be great if someone is willing to do the comparison between the 163.75 WHQL and the 169.04 BETA drivers...:icon_tiphat:

I honestly dont see the point in upgrading your drivers all the time. Ive stopped at the 93.71s cause for some reason i get less performance with my card on anything higher. ANd yes, ive tried each upgrade that i could.

You're not neccesarily right...

At least for the entutheists and gamers among us, sometimes it's very important to get a performance increase, mainly in the newest games.

And take for example the Crysis DEMO: I got a HUGE Performance Boost when I switched from my old 158.45 drivers to the latest 169.04 BETA drivers (I actually got an increase of ~10 FPS!!! :jawdrop:).

So I'm not saying that every day or two, one needs to upgrade his nVidia drivers, but in that case, where nVidia releases every few days a new upgraded/improved version (:redface:), sometimes you just don't have a choice ;-) (or just can't resist the temptation...:lol:)

Yea newer games and newer drivers work alot better together, i also get a lot more FPS in games

[bobletman]

With the new drivers I get a bit higher FPS but nothing to amazing.
