Just noticed that nVidia released the new WHQL 81.85 drivers out on their
website yesterday. Oct 20th.

Hmmmm. I just installed them and noticed that while I have gotten a
noticeable framte rate improvement, there has been some texture problems
with the Sims 2. Most notably water and pillows turn blue.

Then I tried Guild Wars, and I'm getting all sorts of texture errors. Some
henchmen were blue, the textures for the ground are showing up as squares,
so everything looks like a checkerboard.

Anyone else having trouble with them? I have a 6600 GT AGP and am running
Win Xp Pro x64. Someone with the same card was having the same glitches
with the Sims 2.

I uninstalled the 81.85 drivers and back to 77.77 and the problem is gone...
Annother Nvidia goof.

I use the version on manufacture webpage since they DO test them 1st and
least maddog does. Saves the problems of getting bad drives from Nvidia.
