Which DRIVER FOR 6800gt?
HEY ALL
I would like to know which driver is the best in terms of performance with this card 6800gt. I am using 6693 and not very happy, using default settings for it. Cheers |
Try the 71.50 set from Station-Drivers.

My BFG 6800 GT OC will be here in 2 days. I've googled a lot and it appears
as if it all depends on your application. Different drivers give different benches on different apps. The consensus from the articles and tests I read are the 66.93's and the 71.20 Forcewares. When they averaged out all the tests on all the games/apps, these gave the best consistent highest FPS. If you wanna research what drivers work best with a particular app/game, google is your friend.

Hi
All 7x.xx drivers have a problem in Doom 3. To replicate follow these steps: 1) Start Doom3 2) System, Advance Settings, change the VSYNC option twice, the mouse will hang 3) Doom 3 needs to be closed down using the task manager. 4) This problem only seems to affect 6800 cards, my bothers 5900 has no problems with the same drivers. I have posted this problem on a few forums, and other owners of 6800 cards have been able to replicate the same problem. I found the 67.03 and 67.66 drivers ok. The 67.66 for some reason believes I have a TV connected to my computer though? Hope this helps "mine" wrote in message ...

I'm afraid it's impossible to say which is best as the drivers will work
differently for everyone. Even people with the same set-up get different results. Check out Guru3D.com here for more advice http://forums.guru3d.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=21 I think the consensus of opinion is that the 67.03 drivers are the ones to go for. They seem to get positive reviews from most people. The best advice I can give, is to learn how to properly uninstall/install drivers and then try as many as you like until you find the one that's right for your particular set-up. Cheers. Si -- I'd rather have a bottle in front of me then a frontal lobotomy. "bReTt" wrote in message ... Hi All 7x.xx drivers have a problem in Doom 3.

Cheers I went from the 66.93's, which were rock stable over rough gaming terrain, to the 71.24's which are so far, so good. Even better since they have fancy LOD clamping now, which is ironic to say the least.... The 71.24-71.25's should be great for about 7-10 working days, then onto the 71.5x series...it's how it's done these days. :) |
