thank god they fianally came out, i have been checking the site daily for the last two weeks, i got the farcry 2 beta drivers for fc2 and while using them i had crashes in cod4 and lower fps in all other games..
i hope this fixes things and allows rivatuner to adjust fan speed again. thx for the thread.
Ive never been able to adjust fanspeed, but my computer is cool. i dont need to. ASUS p45 with an antec 900 case. The fan controller says i need an asus video card to control the fan. bummer.
It probaly means a 10% increase in the video card speed in warhead, not overall speed. Keep in mind 10% video increase is probably a 5% overall increase in a game.
Wtf...I install'd the new drivers and my fan speed vanished from GPU-Z :(.Is there any fix for this?.I noticed a slightly little fps incrase in some cases with this driver,but i had a scene in 3dmark06 where my FPS dropped below 20 and usually it was a minimum of 30 with my old driver.I can't decide if its better to leave it on or rollback to 178.13 :|

You need to wait for the software makers to update tpo support the new drivers!
When were these released? I just updated my drivers this week, however I feel there's a slight possibility I have the older ones. How do you check your driver numbers? I'm kind of a noob at these things :P
the new drivers are working fine for me. With Rivatuner i'm still able to control the fan-speed, and all my custom fan profiles remain unharmed.Floyd-TheBarber

to check your current ones go to your Nvidia control panel and click "system information" under the help menu. it should tell you there. im not sure how to look at your previous drivers

with my 9800gt i got a big increase in performance with warhead i went from getting a minium of 18 fps on gamer setting to a min of 23!!! more then expected, but with fall out 3 i seem to be getting more frame rate dips.....lost plant really did get a big jump i'm now getting a F* load of frames, i don;t need that game for benching anymore seeing as it runs as good as unreal tournment 3 now...or better lol.
This driver is a bomb every couple of days I have to reinstall the driver because it messes up. I hope this is fixed soon because I can actually see this killing my computer.
Great job Nvidia...with these new drivers multi-core support in Left 4 Dead is bricked. If you update to the 180.48 drivers and experience random stuttering in Left 4 Dead it's probably the multi-core issue at work. Disable multi-core support in the game and things will smooth out.

On my machine with gtx 280 & quadcore, Left 4 dead runs fine. On my other system with a gtx 260, it stutters constantly. On my other system with 8800gts, the 180.48 driver freezes the video on the desktop right when Windows is done loading the ntools.
I hate these drivers. Some of my older games using OpenGl started to crash more often and I got much worse performance also. Graphical glitches on games using older versions of DirectX (DX 8 I think). Piss poor performance in L4D at some points (drastic loss of FPS during intense action from my older drivers).
