Here's a new set of Forceware Drivers in the shape of 80.40 Beta for Windows 2000/XP! Dated: Jun 30, 2005! Thanks to 3DChipset
Major props goes to one of our forum members who have been using this version for quite some time on their 6800. Member says that this version adds H.264 hardware decoding to the 7800 series. What's interesting is their is no version number presented in the nv4_disp file. Plus some new entries are apparent in this release too. The C51 chipset by NVIDIA as well as a G72? I have these installed on my crummy GeForce 2 MX for verification.
Drivers come with a setup.exe for easy installing GeForce 2 and up are supported in this release
ForceWare 80.40 Beta - NGOHQ.com - TweaksRUs- Guru3D
Use NVTweak to unleashes hidden function within ForceWare drivers, it enables several new Direct3d and OpenGL configuration tabs, and even more tweaking capability from the nVidia taskbar settings panel like the Overclocking , AGP settings and the Refresh Rate Override tabs.
Please leave your performance results in the comments and tell us all how they work.
Thanks to Human_Hybrid

Yeah. Well, they screwed up with the 6800GT & 6800Ultra. The video hardware-decoding they promised didn't work. Bugged hardware. We'll see if the H.264-decoder works as it should ... |
