91.xx Series ForceWare are BAD!

Post by Sovereign »

These drivers SUCK, at least for me. I would not recommend them. I used the Beta version of these, and the same issues I had with the Betas appear here in the "release."
Issue List
1. When computer boots, there is an excessive delay between the WinXP Splash and the Logon wherein the monitor flashes/blinks about four to five times.
2. Whenever one quits a game (saw this in F.E.A.R., Doom, Quake and HL2/CS:S) the screen looks horrible. The game image remains overlayed. Further, the computer goes nuts. The monitor alternates between the mess on the screen and a blank screen, like a slow strobe. You cannot do anything, you must Reset.

There may be more issues, but I for one am sick of these drivers after having them for a whopping 15 minutes. Back to 84.xx series drivers....

I have 2x 7900GTX EGS (stock) in SLI mode. Whether SLI or not, the issues appear....sorry nVidia you struck out big time with these IMO.

They're working just fine for me, no issues whats so ever. Games start and close ok and the system seems to boot like it always has. So I'll be keeping them installed for now .........;)

Using the 91.31's (but x64 version) in two Opty systems ; one 7900gt/SLi and a 7800gt/single .
No problems thus far in either one . Infact the 7900gt/SLi system is running XINT with the new drivers .

Running 91.31s playing mostly Quake and BF2. The only problem that I seem to have is trying to remove the stupid NVIDIA taskbar icon.
Just a little puppy trying to make it in a big digital world.

Ditto ... the 91.47's (Winx64) have been solid for me as well (7900GT KO) .
