Thanx for the links.

Thanks guys.
BTW these drivers are WHQL certified.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

How come a beta WHQl one?

 

[Harvik780]

These have yet not been WHQL certified but they are WHQL candidate.Which means nvidia is waiting for microsoft to certify them as WHQL.

Drivers are not good .. AA doesn't work with any UE3.0 title , including UT3 .. and i lost loads of res. and refresh rates .. performance is hardly noticeably better than the 163.17's .... so rolled back ...

I already posted how to get AA to work with these on Guru3d.
It works for me in all games using nhancer.
Currently nhancer supports all 169.xx driver versions so there is no reason it shouldn't work.

Do this-
Before installing the driver uninstall nhancer.
Delete the registry backups for nhancer in the following directory (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data)
Install the driver
Install nhancer it should work now but obviously u'll have to recreate the profiles.

^^ Did that already ... didn't work anyway .. maybe its just me , coz i surely do detailed installs ... anyway .. can't miss the res. ..
