March 1 has arrived (Where are Drivers)

Well today is March 1 and where are those 56.56 drivers that fix the problem with UT 2004 and that are WHQL...

I've been using the other ones for over two weeks now and they mess up in more than just UT 2004...

Lock On they scrambled my screen up into flashing large triangles once and flashing textures all over the screen - they make the water in Battlefield 1942 blink occassionally and THEY ARE NOT WHQL...

Funniest thing is I NEVER saw any problems in the UT 2004 Demo with these drivers - of course I didn't benchmark them either...

I did do an AquaMark benchmark on the drivers as I do with all the released drivers and found that all the scores had gone DOWN with everything off... ODD.

Come on NVIDIA - I WANT MY 56.56 WHQL today and FIXED... LOL

JUST KIDDING...

I just wanted to see what I could stir up that's all... LOL

It obviously worked - are the eVGA actually the WHQL ones? Also do they call all of your cards eVGA cards and add eVGA to the Properties???

As far as I knew all of the 56.56 drivers online where not the FIXED 56.56 drivers that NVIDIA is working on or WHQL...

The ones I have are from edimensional and they were to be WHQL also but for my 5800 Ultra I get the old THESE ARE NOT WHQL when installing them...

UT 2004

Supposedly there was some bug with the DEMO...

From what I've read it had to do with Benchmarking the program - it showed VERY, VERY Poor Results but as far as graphically or actually using them during the game I noticed no problems what so ever...

I Agree...

:beer: I agree fully... I play Lock On Modern Air Combat and you should read their forums - Everyone is so concerned about FPS - It's like turn the darn thing off and just play the game...

Yes the Frames per second drop but the game is very playable - I've never noticed an unplayable situation...

As I said I benched these in AquaMark only because every driver from NVIDIA I upload my results to their site (AquaMark that is), and for those FREAKS out there the NEW 56.56 drop in almost every single Bench...

Now I play games daily - usually about 20-30 hours a week and have yet to see bad frame rates or too many troubles the ones I mentioned earlier are just a few I've noticed...

Forgot to mention...

Also with the new 56.56 drivers - during dxdiag - and testing Direct 3D - this is the test that has the spinning cube.

It test DX 7, 8, 9 - you should see my screen when testing this - the square spins so fast for all 3 tests it makes it look like a 100 sided star with letters on it that is how fast the square spins :o

Mind you now I have a NVIDIA 5800 Ultra - also no one answered me about the ones I had not being WHQL and if the eVGA were or not but I found that answer and have since installed them and have the exact same effects with those as I did with the ones from edimensional that were NOT WHQL Big Grin

I've been using the 56.56 driver for a little while now, and have found no problems with them. All my games play fine, and all maxed out on sittings
