Ok, I have two GeForce 9800GT cards in this computer, and my current drivers are 177.83

I visited nVidia's driver download page, it appears that my card is a Series 9 ? And the driver is GeForce/ION Driver Release 196 ?

86MB for a video card driver? :o Do I need to update both cards individually or does updating the driver take care of both?

I know all the answers to this stuff, I just wanna see how smart you are :arrgh!:

One download will take care of both cards. Why do you feel that it's time to update the driver? If your performance is as you expect & you're happy with the results, why bother. Sometimes, newer is not better.;)

Oh, I agree, if it ain't fixed, don't break it. I have this new game and the hardware config spanked my current drivers. I have d/led and installed, so it seems to be ok.

Just 86MB? The ones for Win7 64-bit are 149MB. :lol:

Make sure your getting JUST the drivers - not the CCC panel and all the bundled crap that usually comes with them.

Hi Neal,

Installing the driver will work on both cards. I have two GeForce 8800Gt and the driver works on both of my cards. I also have the SLI enhancement patch installed.
