OT! Forceware 158.16 Winxp32bit is out!

Ragtag · 04-16-07, 03:51 AM

Supposed to be a real nice set of drivers. These are for WinXP 32bit only. No sign of Vista or x64 drivers yet.

thx mate!

I think this is bogus dude. HUGE jump in version number.

Ragtag · 04-16-07, 07:53 AM

It's not bogus. These are real and will be the release driver for the 8600 series cards tomorrow.

Capt.LoneRanger · 04-16-07, 08:41 AM

So far only for 8xxx cards...

Considering the last official drivers for non-8800 cards running WinXP was 93.71, I'm gonna have to agree with the bogus assessment. Huge jump in versions - even 8800 cards running Vista were only in the low 100s.

anyone here tried them yet?

Well, I'll admit I was wrong - looks like they are at 158.xx now for all 8xxx cards. But what's up with that? Did they decide that 7xxx owners aren't worth their time anymore? They haven't had a recent 7xxx driver release in ages it seems.

I just installed a 158 driver for my 7950 - but its vista 32bit, it has an updated control panel too, so i think it wont be long for a new xp version

There are official drivers out at nvidia.com for all cards now

Chuck B. · 04-18-07, 01:51 PM

Has anyone seen the release notes for the new drivers? The link on the Nvidia site for the release notes only leads to a 15 Byte file ...

Kant Schwimm · 04-18-07, 02:04 PM

I think theres a pdf download with all the release notes at nvidia.

stuntcow · 04-18-07, 03:11 PM

Would seem that the 7 series users are still on hold. There is no new drivers for the 7 series as of right now for XP.

That is exactly the problem: The PDF is empty / corrupted.
