Nvidia videocard help

AVGWarhawk · 01-16-08, 08:30 PM

My deal here is my videocard driver. When I look at my driver in the device manager for the vid card it shows a driver date of 12/05/2007 yet I'm using or think I'm using the current driver by Nvidia dated this 12/07/2008. What is the deal here? It should show the driver creation date correct?

Keep in mind I deleted my driver for it in add/remove program and loaded the driver again. Still the same date. I then removed the driver via properties of the card in the device manager. Reloaded the newest driver. Still the same date from a year ago. What gives?

Is your real name Marty McFly, you appear to have fell through a worm hole into the future.

The latest Nvidia driver I believe is 169.21 released on December 19th 2007

I usualy use Driver Cleaner Pro after unistalling Nvidia drivers as the nvidia uninstall program tends to leave a lot of crap behind.

Actually the latest WHQL is 169.25. The latest beta is 169.28.

I stand corrected, do Nvidia ever take a break?
