Best performance and IQ drivers to date-187.66(64bit)

Hey guys, I know alot of people have been having trouble with the 19xxx series and getting frustrated, but I found the one driver with the most clarity and has nearly no bugs and will give you a HUGE performance increase.

187.66 XG

Here's CoD4 Benchmark that somebody else did.

I just finished some benchmarks with CoD 4 now that everything seems to work right.
Resolution was 1920x1200, 4xAA and max AF set in game, full detail, FoV at 75.
The scores are with supersampling transparency AA enabled and ambient occlusion. Three missions, "The Bog", "All Ghillied Up" and "All In", were used for this test.
The Bog, act 1 mission 3:

XG 190.62: min 56 max 62 avg 58.9
NV 191.56: min 62 max 73 avg 66.1
NV 191.56: min 62 max 73 avg 66.3 *hardware change
NV 195.39: min min 66 max 77 avg 70.2
XG 187.66: min 90 max 117 avg 100.8

All Ghillied up, act 2 mission 2:

XG 190.62: min 56 max 75 avg 66.9
NV 191.56: min 48 max 53 avg 50.7
NV 191.56: min 48 max 53 avg 50.5
NV 195.39: min 51 max 55 avg. 52.9
XG 187.66: min 64 max 73 avg 68.0

All In, act 3 mission 2:

XG 190.62: min 48 max 52 avg 50.2
NV 191.56: min 42 max 46 avg 44.5
NV 191.56: min 43 max 46 avg 44.6
NV 195.39: min 44 max 48 avg 46.5
XG 187.66: min 57 max 62 avg 59.7

I have a weak system, overclocked 9500GT, 4 GB RAm, intel core 2 duo 2.0 GHZ

Bad company 2 at 1680x1050

High settings 16x AF no AA medium shadow quality, everything else is maxed out at DX 10.

Constant 30-40 frames. Loving it. So I recommend everybody to download these drivers if they have not. Performance increase in bioshock 2, BFBC2, TF2, and MW2

Okay, why stop at 195.39?

What about these WHQL nVidia drivers:

195.62

196.21

197.13

197.45

Ive , havent had any issues with any of the newer drivers. And seen a big jump from the last two sets.04dcarraher

Agreed. I'm running 197.45 on Win 7 64-bit, without problems.

I like this little note in the Release Highlights:

It reads: "Adds override anti-aliasing support for Mass Effect 2".

I'm using 197.45 in conjunction with ATI's 10.3 on my Hybrid PhysX rig. I have an HD 4870 X2 + 8800 GTX for PhysX. Works wonders for Sacred 2, The Scourge Project and bench apps like FluidMark.

I'm reinstalling Crazy Machines 2 atm through steam. I also have a few other PhysX titles including Metro 2033, SilverFall, GRAW 1 & 2, Mirror's Edge and Batman:AA.

I'm running 196.21 as the 197's were giving me artifacts on the desktop :shock:

i am using 196.21. the newer ones give me problems with k lite when watching movies
