Well the latest graphic drivers have taken the highest mark to date going back to the early 50.xx drivers with my 5800 Ultra.

I've been doing Aquamark scores of all released drivers with my 5800 Ultra since it's release and the latest WHQL drivers have taken the highest mark for me to date with a FPS: 41.53 the next best score was with the 52.16 WHQL with a 41.29.

Obviously Nvidia is finally doing something right with their drivers - I'll be happy with any extra FPS they can muster up...

Whats yer 3DMark03 for that there FX5800

I don't have 3DMark - of any version can't give you that result...

How does the 6800 Ultra do in Aquamark3???

I'm still debating on getting a PNY 6800 Ultra in near future...

have you tried the 62.20's yet? If so what numbers did you get?

Yes i have 62.20 now on x32 XP, Not done Becnh yet, Havent loaded Aauqa mark cuz I dont have a Key or Registration etc....

With SP2 v2162 and Nvidia drivers while playing Battlefield Vietnam I receive many exe errors for that game and I've been getting many blue screens with all the beta versions I've been using up to this latest WHQL'ed version.

I still get them but not as many as I did with the beta versions - it's always the nvidia driver causing the BSOD's - still not quite sure what causes the bfvietnam.exe application error though?

It's always the nv4_mini.sys file that blows up...

I'll be happy when I can do a fresh and complete re-install with a slipstreamed SP2.

I'm using a slipstreamed v2162 installed over top of the v2149...

BSOD is a BIG issue i can help with, in the Bottom of BSOD gove me the error problem eg. " nt.sys" error etc.. ?

Ok i get it, Sounds like Ur OC yer Card to much, I get that same error to the DRIVER that is, when i OC too much etc.

And OR

yer VID drivers Dont support OC, the New beta Nvidias dont....

I do not over clock anything on my system everything is set to stock settings.

System is set to 200MHZ FSB and I have no other errors with hardware period - just the video card drivers keep blowing up and from what I've read on EA's forums about BFV is that many people are seeing the same .exe errors as I am and think it's the latest patch of 1.02 for that game that is the cause of that.

The BSOD's I think personally is because my system went nuts a few weeks ago for no reason where everything on my computer came up as if nothing was installed and all the items became .lnk files.

I did a repair with a slipstreamed SP2 v2162 and that fixed whatever caused the main problem mentioned above but now these BSOD's just pop up whenever they feel like it but sometimes even when my computer is sitting idle doing nothing - I have the monitor turn off but all my computers run 24/7 - 365 days a year and sometimes when I wake up in morning there is the BSOD sitting there because I unchecked the box to have Auto Restart so that way I can see what is causing the problems - before they would just reboot system and I could not see what it was but now I know it's the video drivers or hardware...

Do a Clean Inistall , I always do, takes me 15 min tops, 1.2 hrs with software, lol, anyway If that doesnt work that BSOD u said is from the drivers.

I'm just waiting for the full release of SP2 in the next two weeks...

I'll live with it till then - I'll slipstream the Full Released version then do a Clean and fresh install - after a nice fdisk and format that is...

yeah slipstreaming ownz ....
btw fdisk ???
why not use the integrated disk manager within XP cd ... ?!

win98se when i upgrade my drivers from 5664 to 6176 & try to play MS Ages of Empires........BSOD, locks up solid, have to reset to reboot & sometimes comes up with a windows protection error & I need to reboot in safe mode & change refresh rates from "unknown" to default mode, reboot & go through all changes required to get back to 5664 drivers & than all is ok.

PS: card is PNY Verto FX 5900 128m

any ideas NE1?????

Here is the error i get:

fatal exception @ 0028:co23DB3B in VXD VDD(09) + 00001803

maybe there is a setting i should be changing? They seemed to work otherwise but i uninstalled them as soon as i found out they screwed up my game.
