new nvidia drivers
« on: February 24, 2012, 03:37:20 AM »
I got curious about the new nvidia drivers and I installed them.  and the game is like wow looks twice as good as the wow good from the last patch.  I cleaned up all my driver remnants from before and I am really impressed.  anybody has any thoughts on this?

I have dual evga 465 with 3 23in monitors on a 2500k cpu with 16 gigs of ram.

all the mini stutters are gone and trakir is flawless.  have everything on with shadows at 2048 except for ground clutter as I hardly gv anyway.

I have downloaded them but haven't installed them yet. I have heard good things from several different sources about them in other games so I am going to give them a shot.

I have a EVGA 465 SC,  saw the driver was up, just not messed with it, been busy  I have W-7. whats the best or easy way to remove old driver? cant you just download new, then remove old driver  thru (device manager)?

For the Nvidia drivers, just the driver .exe file and let it uninstall the drivers for you and install the new ones.  With the Nvidia drivers, it's actually more of a pain in the bellybutton to remove the drivers manually.

when you install the drivers dont do the express do the manual update.  then deselect audio driver and all 3d crap upless you are planning to use it.  only select the driver and the phsyx or whatever is called.  right below that big box is another small option that says perform a clean install.  select it and that's it.
