Try researching how to deal with difficult people and you'll find I'm right on target.

Oh, you're not there reading this so I guess I wasted my time!:rotfl:

Any progress icecold?

And i did try it... no luck... in fact i found it very ustable causing most newer games to crash.

Other download sites, such as the NVision site, explain and specifically provide a modified INF file to be substituted into the Driver's Folder, which apparently makes the Drivers work with the 8000 series cards (and others).

The 177.26 drivers above are stated as being "ASUS-released" drivers and make no comments about the drivers being "Beta" etc....or having been "withdrawn", etc...

Running SH4 1.5 with W_Clear's EE Mod, as I have reported elsewhere in several threads/forums, I previously had 90% success with some drivers but only with Post Processing and/or Envrionmental Effects turned off in In-Game options.

My 177.26 results, with all In-Game options enabled/maxed: I have not had the CTDs/BSODs which have plagued me for months with all other drivers when trying to run 1.5 with Pacific Environment Mod. I've not run a "full" mission yet, or a campaign/career patrol...but so far, it looks like these 177.26 Drivers are the solution!!!!! Keeping fingers crossed for the time being, though.

I have another custom Test mission which has 6+ DD's charging/attacking my sub, with extensive Deck guns firing, plus I get to make some simultaneous Torp hits/explosions. If I get the CTD's/BSODs I'll report back here. Otherwise, Silence from me means continuing success with 177.26 drivers.



FYI...My Rig:
