I wonder if there is much a difference between this and the 182.06.
Any noteable differences between 182.02 Driver?
I'm not really eager to change my drivers because any drivers after 178.24's fail...but if people can really prove that these drivers are a step up, I might download them.

Wow dude seriously?

You're looking at a minimum of 5-10% gains (in recent titles) and at least a nicer NVIDIA CP interface. Not to mention [email protected] productivity seems to go up every few releases

Not gonna force you to change, but I highly recommend stepping up to the 182 series.

Yes I do realize that there is an FPS gain but everytime I change my drivers, either L4D or TF2 would stutter. Changing from 178.24 to 182.06, for example, forced me to lower my AA/AF in order for L4D to stop stuttering, which was not a problem on 178.24's. As with TF2, when I changed to 182.06, it just stuttered for no apparent reason.

Maybe I'm having bad luck or my graphics card is a POS, but it really annoys me.

Thanks for the post. But I'll probably stick with 182.06. Unless they are 389210 times better
I'll try these out after I get home from school. I hope for noticable improvements.

May be doing a FEAR 2 benchmark tomorrow night if the games been delivered

Then we can see in game performance for them.

And I Update my drivers whenever I get a new game or if the one I have has a problem, nvidia usually fix the beta's quite fast

Gah! Why didn't the 7950GT have Phys-X support! It could be my new dedicated Phys-X card! *gives old 7950GT the finger*
Subbed.

Looking forward to hearing people's impressions/test results.
