NVIDIA ForceWare 169.21 WHQL Candidate

[veedubfreak]

the 169.25 driver is vista only. XP's highest beta driver is 169.21. And at the moment they are whql "candidates", not actually verified yet.

I cant break 20k Even with the .21 driver.

well your still on number 1 on othis forum so you should still be smiling.

I also read that theres a couple bugs on .21 that got fixed in.25

being #1 isnt even my concern. It just annoys me that i cant hit 20k. I actually go DOWN in score by overclocking past 3.8ghz. I dont get it.

lower scores after getting getting a higher oc usually means it isnt stable.

Heh well i just ordered 2 GTS 512's. I hate myself for it but considering the way EVGA's stepup works i'm better off selling my gt cards at a profit while they're stil in demand and stepping up a GTS when the 9x cards come out. If i cant hit 20k with SLI GTS 512's i'm going to have to kill someone.

wow, im really shocked that you did that but im pretty sure you will get way over 20k.
Hopefully after that your frustration goes away.
