boflex Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 found these XTreme-g 77.62 nvidia drivers at http://tweaksrus.com sounded like they are better than regular nvidia drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 i already asked the same question but they all told me that it would be better to stick with the official ones and dont mess with the beta ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitoon Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Im using the XtremeG 80.40 and having no problems at all. I found those to be quite slow for me, but when it comes to drivers, you have to try them all because what's good for you might not be good for someone else. I'm back at the 77.62's right now.

mcoll Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 to things about vid drivers. one there betas, means there not fully ready but getting close so the results are going to vary a grate deal as told here and why there still beta. there be fully done soon. bata not far from from done uaelly. second specially with vid drivers you gernally dont change throws drivers if you have one that works nicelyin your system or are changing to considerably differnt vid card and the drivers need are much newer or designed for that card, as a genral rule of thumb. beta or not messinhg with vid drivers can cuase a lot problems, specially the more you try differnt one, because two things tend to happan. the more the system as installed therea chance the system wont know what driver your trying to use, unless you know how be sure about what driver your using and the others arent in anyway present to entirefair with that driver, even if you told that shouldnt happan, there is always that possibly. the reason its nota good idea, vid drivers dont have sohrt of mid level of workin, either they do or they dont, and and if there not working will instanly casue crash of the system to where it reboots it self and you cant stop it. you wont safe reliable vid drivers, when it does work right. it'll just happan and there no warrings. not saying what to to but giving out a little info on the subject.

Lars777 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Extreme G drivers are not beta drivers....there drivers that are tweaked for performance......but they also tweak beta drivers.....beta drivers are not a bad thing in themselves.....meaning a beta driver can cause you no hardware damage....but can cause other things.....there is no harm in trying other drivers as long as you know how to uninstall and reinstall the drivers properly.......Since I tried Xtreme G drivers many monthes ago I have not gone back to official Nivida drivers.....the tweaked drivers in many cases will give you much better image quality at lil FPS cost....I get higher benchmark scores with official drivers but suffer in image quailty in games.....To many people put way to much stock in benchmark scores.....like it part of there ego.....the higher the score the better....which is true on the surface....but it should be used as a tool when tweaking your system and or overclocking your graphics card or cpu. Anytime you try another driver you should run the driver through its paces.....try all games that you play all the time and see if there are any problems.....do what you normally would do and see how all things are with the new driver.......and dont listen so much as to what experience other people are having with that driver.....as all systems are different and people tweak there systems different......some people have reported problems with the driver that Im using now......so far I have not seen any such thing.....so the best way to find out is to just jump in and try it for yourself.

spitoon Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 If you're careful, then beta drivers are fine...I've probably installed 30 different video drivers on my machine in the last twelve months without any difficulties. Properly uninstalling and reinstalling is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
