All right slackers! ATTENTION gpu folders. I have been playing around with some new drivers and hit the jackpot on a hot tip.
If you are running vista ultimate and gpu crunching these drivers are getting crazy ppd.
GeForce ForceWare 185.20 Vista 64-bit download from Guru3D.com

I went from 5000 ppd on a 9800GTX+ to 11000 ppd with these drivers.
I can tell you there is only a slight boost on xp 32 bit with these drivers.
I have not tried the on windows 7 64 bit, nor vista 32 bit. Here is a screenie:
TechIMO Tech Support Help and Computer Hardware Expert Forums

I will keep this updated with whats working and whats not for particular os's

*** Drivers are unconfirmed to be working for Win7 64bit****
*** Drivers confirmed to be a minor increase in ppd for XP 32 bit***
*** DRivers confirmed to be working for Vista Ultimate ***

Another guy was getting over 8000ppd on an 8800GS, iirc with Vista 32

Holy $hit!

I'm gonna give them a go on 7.. I'll report back ASAP. (pending puppy matters)

While uninstalling Nvidia drivers in my XP partition, I somehow borked it all up. Now, nvidia drivers won't finish uninstalling, and the new one's won't install without the old ones being uninstalled.

I'm debating on installing Vista 64 on the boys rig. 8000ppd would be nice out of that GS.
My 780i is on the way back from eVGA, it needs to hurry!!!!

What do you do if you have a friend that you know is lying about stuff (example: saying that he drove a plane in GTA 4), but when you say he's wrong he denies it? I get in arguments over what's the best alot lol, but I don't want to just call him a liar.

Do some research first and make sure its absolute bs. I tend to keep a close eye on liars, if they lie about little stuff eventually they will lie about something bigger. Or he could just be razzing you, I guess it depends on how close you guys are to.
