ron123 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Top 9800GTX+Bottom GTS 250 http://hothardware.com/articleimages/item1...e-gts-250-9.jpg Funny how they give it a similar cooler design and sticker as the GTX 285. As if it's somehow related to the GT200. So at least they changed something... And also Palit made a GTX 285 2 GB recently. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Pa-in-GeForce-GTX,7090.html Old news I already posted about all of this , check this thread of info . and this old one The reviews for the GTS 250 were posted today. I know the 2 GB 285 is old, but for some reason your previous link was talking about a double memory 260. You don't need the review of the GTS250, because it's the old 9800GTX+ with a new name , no reason of posting it, you may read the review of the "palit GTS250 2Gb of VRAM", it will give you extra performance in few games and costs some 170$.

Vicetopia Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You don't need the review of the GTS250 That's true, but I only used it for the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheogorath Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The 182.08 drivers came out today March 3. I still use the 181.22 drivers and everything works fine. I am a bit apprehensive about installing this new driver. Anyone tried it yet? Any difference from the dreaded 182.06 with all the mentioned problems? I suppose that if they bring out drivers so closely after one another, there must have been some problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheogorath Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Sorry I read all the posts. I apologize if I misread something but I thought everyone was talking about 182.06 not 182.08 which came out today. Most of the posts are dated before March3 and deal with .06 not .08!

Hamidxa Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I registered just so I could chime in and confirm the same issues lots of others are having with the 182.06 drivers. I'm certainly not new to driver installations, so naturally I performed a driver cleaner and subsequently a driversweeper via safemode when uninstalling my 181.22's and immediately noticed my performance taking a dip with the 182.06's afterwards. 181.22 I was benching @ ~ 57 FPS 182.06 I was benching @ ~ 47 FPS Same settings, same everything else, just different drivers. So, as you can guess I went immediately back to 181.22 and it's been smooth sailing since. Although, I am running Windows 7 Beta, so I'm not entirely sure how much of an effect that has on the equation. Wonder how 182.08 benches? Anyone who has lost fps's when making the switch from 181.22 --> 182.06 daring enough to take the 182.08's for a spin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thales100 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Although, I am running Windows 7 Beta, so I'm not entirely sure how much of an effect that has on the equation. You could try the new 181.71 beta drivers, its specific to W7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to delete the three setting files inside this folder (under Vista): C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings Start game, adjust all options again and see if it got fixed.

E.R Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 182.06 is sh*t, I lost 9 fps with it and I got micro stutters everywhere. I asume you using MultiGPU as that´s the only way to get microstrutter, is it singleGPU it is not microstutter, it is to high settings for the card.

Dcrysis02 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Man i love these drivers.Altough 181.22 is good for playing GTAIV i think it f***ed up Crysis for me.I got all sorts of weird anomalies with this driver,grrrr I would love to see that the newer drivers don't f-up older games.
