180.48 Experiences?

[2bullish]

I swapped to the 180.60s and they seem much better than 180.48 - with .48 I was having the odd crash in left 4 dead and fingers crossed so far I've not had that problem with .60. Performance is also better tho its only marginal... i.e. 62fps where I had 59fps before.

Same here, 180.60 are much better for me.

I've had no problems drivers work perfectly fine here on a 9800gt 1gb with vista64

Maybe the drivers aren't to blame at all

Noticed some artifacting on Vista bootup screen when i switched the pc on today... Ran furmark and crashed again, so reverted back to 178.13's which never presented a problem to me but furmark crashed on those as well. 1 out of every 3 or 4 boots has some artifiacting (black jaggy section on left hand side) and the size of it keeps increasing lol.

Going to play a bit of switcheroo with my old 8800ultra thats in my brothers pc and put this 260 in his, see what turns out. Looks like i may have to sample BFG's RMA department :/

Im finding Grid performance and IQ a bit poor with Vista 64 and a GTX260.

 

[Sweeney]

OK its the card, kept crashing my brothers setup in exactly the same fashion oh well. Glad its nothing more serious *touches wood*

Didn't notice any changes in Grid with me, performed and looked just as good as any set of drivers ive used on both this 260gtx and my 8800ultra

Have you tried the 180.60 drivers?

 

[Sweeney]

No i don't like using beta drivers , however the card's been tested on 2 systems with 2 driver sets and given that the 8800ultra has no issues on either, only the 260. I'd reckon its safe to say its buggered.

 

[Rroff]

I still think its worth giving them a try

C:\Windows\System32\nvlddmkm.sys

NVIDIA 180.48 nvlddmkm.sys Size on disk: 9,764,864 12/11/2008

Windows still refer to x64/64-bit as AMD64 for some reason.

12/11/2008 is the correct date, so it looks like your did update itself.

If on Vista its actually not in that folder at all, its here :C:\Windows\System32\drivers

Vista64 but do not see that making any difference to location as its not in WOW64 Folder.

Ive looked where you specify and Nvlddmkm.sys isnt even there...... im on vista64 if that makes a difference ?

I was on 170's and now 180's and im getting Nvlddmkm problems.
