Every build of the NV drivers are unstable except for the 82.something.

Hell, a couple of them were crashing DirectX diagnostics.

I do not know what is going on at NVidia, but they have made some rather bone headed releases here of late.  Starting to remind me of the old ATI.

They don't care about game compat unless you're selling a million units.
The driver probably works great on Oblivion.

I'm actually using the 82.12's , the only other ones i liked were 81.98 .  Its just weird that the 84.12's will crash AH2 everytime after 15-20 minutes . If i hadnt of just updated the  drivers i wouldn't have guessed that a video driver was the culprit . This could really cause some headaches for people cause it doesnt show itself right away , but i havent ever made it threw 30-40 minutes in AH with them .   38

LOL actually last night with the 82.12's i got this blue screen error .  " An Atempted Write In Read Only Memory ".  Back to 81.98's.  Guess i wont be trying every new driver release like i used to with ATI hehe.
