I installed the new beta driver 162.15 last night and played a bit of Arma, GRAW2 demo, and Quakewars beta. All was great, no BSOD's. It felt like Arma was smoother, but I did not spend enough time with it to make a call. Worth a try for sure.

Hmm. This may be why Steam is yelling at me that I have "out of date" video drivers.

But it shouldn't be... >_>

I have a NVIDIA 7900 GS.

*edit* and XP32 *edit*

I have been having major stability problems with screen freezes, crashes after about 15 minutes and artifacts so bad you could not see anything.  This was especially bad in Multiplayer but also affected single player.  My problems started with the 1.08 patch.  

This was driving me crazy.  I've been following every tip in the Troubleshooting forum, including getting rid of dust and improving airflow in my unit to reduce the GPU running temp (I did get a 6C reduction), rebuilding my system (multiple times), and underclocking, all to no avail.

Since applying this new NVIDIA driver, graphics performance is much better and no screen freezes or crashes at all.   yay.gif

Thank you for posting.  I'm very glad I got the driver before it was pulled. But shouldn't this be in the trouble shooting thread?

The XP 32bit version of these drivers was not pulled. Nvidia is still hosting them here.

I'm gonna give them a try.
