I just installed a Leaktek 6800 card and loaded the latest driver from Nvidia website (61.77). Games seemed to run fine but my 3dmark05 score was low compared to others. So I searched out a new driver on the web (66.81) and it greatly improved my 3dmark05 scores but I started freezing up during games. any suggestions?

here's a link to those drivers & there's also some info about the improvements: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/950852325/1 The following site may be useful...it compares many of the newest nVidia drivers, but here's the final conclusion: "After having three DirectX games and three OpenGL games benchmarked we came to the conclusion that the DirectX games run better on 66.xx drivers, they perform the best at this moment. For OpenGL games, is the Forceware 61.77 driver the one with the highest framerates, it performs better then the other drivers in the games we've used." http://www.tcmagazine.info/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=68&page=10 Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @8x210mhz 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB

check your aperture size is set to 512 and the AGP size to 8. to see this look in your bios. ABIT NF7-SV2.0 AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 512MB DDR 400Mhz CL2.5 Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro 250GB DVD-RW +/- 8/16/52 CD-RW 52/32/52 Levicom 450Watt Dual Power Dual Fan Thermaltake Volca

Also you power supply will hinder performance, get at least a 450. Dont be like me... Avarik ~

In that review they used a FX5500, not a 6800. P4 3.0ghz eVGA 5900SE OCZ 1gb CL2 AMD 64 3000+ ATi 9800 Pro Samsung 1gb CL3

True, they did use the FX5500 & he has the 6800... What I don't get is why aren't these new Forceware drivers posted at the nVidia website, only on their FTP or 3rd party sites? Does that mean it's still in the testing phase? Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @8x210mhz 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB
