Just installed the 60.72.
About the same benchmark readings exept:
3Dmark2003 Pixel shader 2.0 went up from 31.2fps (53.03drv.)
to 41.5fps with the 60.72drv.
+200 3Dmark2003 pts.
Havenīt tried any games yet.
Can somebody confirm this improvement ?

So a 30% gain with a minor driver revision. Does anyone believe this is
possible? How gullible are nvidia customers ?

Yes, but i noticed that improvement when i changed from driver
53.03 = 36.7
to
54.09 = 44.9
54.09 = 4.9

But why would nVidia optimize (cheat) in a 3DMark element that does not
impact the final score?

Just stick to the WHQL drivers, newer drivers aren't necessarily
better... and as the 57.xx proved, can be a lot worse.
I expect Nvidia to crap out a few releases in the next few weeks to
ease compatibility of current FX users over to the new line of NV40's.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Nvidia Forceware Driver 60.72 ! |

For me, the WHQL-certified 56.72 drivers are the worst I've seen in a long
time. My video just drops out as the device driver fails, and I have to do
a reset, and sometimes even a shutdown to get the signal back.
I'm going to try to betas.

It does seem like that doesn't it? Because the synthetic pixel shader 2.0
test got a huge improvement, but games actually using 2.0 didn't improve, so
it seems like a test-specific optimisation.
Interestingly, the pixel shader 1.4 test in 3DMark2001 went DOWN a hell of a
lot with the 56.xx drivers.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Nvidia Forceware Driver 60.72 ! |

I just jumped on the 60.72 bandwagon.... lol I was giving in to
temptation.
So far, here's what I've gotten from them:
Pros:
o Better Aniso quality in OpenGL
o Less bloated interface
o Faster clock update
Cons:
o Less Antialiasing quality in OpenGL
o Nvidia removed the option to turn on digital vibrance for
Overlay (less vibrant DVDs =/ )
o Temperature seems to have increased 2-5? in 2D mode.
o "Auto Overclock" feature locks up your card
o Auto detect feature is inaccurate<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Nvidia Forceware Driver 60.72 ! |

Not here - using the 60.72.
Actually Iīll keep this 60.72 driver...works just fine with my POV 5900XT.
Last - I simply canīt believe that this should be nothing more than a tuned
3Dmark driver. (....here we go again??? ... *s*...) NO.

Well I have to say I got a huge improvement in Far Cry with these drivers on
my FX5900nu - and that uses the new pixel shader 2.0 in the latest patch!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Nvidia Forceware Driver 60.72 ! |
