I'm pretty happy with this driver so far. Reported temps are lower, and I see no other problems so far. rms

In the nVidia control panel there is a temp view where you can see the
ambient temp, card temp and set the high temp threshold... "Bri" wrote in message .. . rms wrote: www.guru3d.com I'm pretty happy with this driver so far. Reported temps are lower, and I see no other problems so far. rms How do you test the temps???

I had loads of problems with this driver... image quality sucks on my 6800GT 256MB AGP. Even had display corruption in web sites with a dark background. Also, the right click dual view menu didn't appear. I went back to 71.84.

As far as the temperature thing, with the 71.84s, I max out around 69c under load. Nothings locking up and everything looks great so I'm not worried. -- Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com
