Is that "one that works", or is that "the best one for this card"?

I'm asking only because I have the same card in the mail, on its way to me, right now.

Title: 7600GT SLI new 9147 driver no work
Post by: maque1 on September 30, 2006, 01:35:51 PM

The latest Nvidia SLI driver 9147 has a set of vertical lines on the left side of screen and SLI printed in lage letters in upper left corner.  I got up to 167 fps, thats right ..167, but much less when tracers from ground in view.

I had to go back to the driver in the CD, 8421.  Works great  I did not like the new control panel anyway.

How 9147 records FPS in excess of my refresh rate (100) is beyond me.

8421 shows a steady 100FPS, dropping to 80's momentarily when bomber flames or a very low high speed pass over the airfield.

Maque1, when I reload, I'll use the same drivers and use them as a place to start.  Thanks for your post!

I would recomn'd the Forceware 84.21's for that card. Very stable

They can be found HERE (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html)

Well my 7600 GTS is in (I'm typing this from work), only the drivers that came with the card list it as a "GS" instead. I think several folks on newegg mentioned the same issue.

Is there a way to check the speeds of the card and make sure it is, in fact, a GTS instead of a GS? Would I use riva tuner for that?
