Re: NVIDIA Releases Forceware 186.18 WHQL Drivers
mainly on the desktop things were a bit slow. especially when I right-clicked on the desktop and it took almost a minute for the menu to show. Then it took nearly as long if not longer for the Nvidia control panel to show. Enabling/disabling SLI took even longer. The 186 beta and this new set of fixed the issue so I'm happy.geokilla wrote:What lag issue were you getting?

Re: NVIDIA Releases Forceware 186.18 WHQL Drivers
My 280's were acting funny. I got a message that my drivers not working properly. I went to Nvidia website to check to see if there was any new drivers. The same version but updated on July 2, 2009. I hope I don't have anymore issues. Could someone comfirm this for me or is it in my head. Thanks
