GeForce 8800 drivers & WHQL
Hi,
I downloaded and installed the latest 8800 drivers for Windows XP - version 158.22. However, I noticed that they are not WHQL approved, can this lead to stability problems ? I find this a bit strange, since these are not beta drivers, just the one that are available from the NVidia website. If i'm not mistaken the older drivers were WHQL qualified. Matthias |

No. It merely means that nVidia haven't paid the Microsoft Tax. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak......... |

I've installed these drivers...and the new ntune. Haven't noticed any changes to be honest, except now I can't change my fan speed on the GPU. The option is all greyed out. Regards rmd |

The last version, 158.18, released in mid-April, was also not certified and was also tagged as "Beta". The last WHQL drivers was 100.something-or-other that came and went a couple months ago. |

Think for a moment about who actually grants WHQL approval - Microsoft.
Microsoft doesn't have a good track record for releasing stable products to begin with, so WHQL means nothing. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
