182.50 Whql will work best, but there is 185.68 beta which allow you to do Ambient Occlusion and physx

u mean i cant use PHYSX with 182.50 ?

also what is ambient occlusion

FilluX

Uninstall old drivers by booting into safe-mode, and run "driver cleaner pro" or "driver sweeper" (choose nvidia ofcourse in the menu) and then boot normally and install the new drivers.

Installing new drivers is a piece of cake, just follow the instructions (=click next, next, next and finnish)

Hope this helps!

No, you can, idk what that guy was talking about. Only Ambient Occlusion is in the beta drivers, which adds some shadow effects to some games. Just get the stable drivers.

thanxs man

really great help reps

first of all u should switch to vista 64 if u can before it arrives.
Nowadays games run faster with Vista.

Keep ur fan speed at auto. works perfect for me that way.

Recoomend u get a bigger monitor so that make the most of ur card.

And OC that CPU so it can really drive that card.

and don't OC right away . its freakin fast as it is

Where did u buy it? and how much was it in US$ excluding shippin?

I second the switch to vista if that's not XP 64 bit. You'll be wasting half your RAM.
