I recently upgraded the driver for my 7600gt following a new driver release in mid july.
Unfortunately the new driver appears to be awkward in the extreme. If you try to monitor temperatures or do any overclocking it tells me that this is now an advanced feature and I have to download a programme called "ntune" to access it. This i did, despite the fact that the Ntune application doesn't state that it supports the 7600gt.
And surprise surprise it doesn't work very well. You can't monitor temperatures through it. If you open the settings window there is no way of closing it down again, and it actually states that it works best on resolutions of 1052x768. Who uses these resolutions these days?
So, in a fit of frustration and being unable to find the old driver to reinstall, I went for a system restore to before upgrading the driver and I now have my old nforce settings window back. But my GPU is playing up now. I am being chucked to desktop during games, colours are inconsistent and it wont allow an overclock anymore.
So the question is, would you guys persevere with the new driver, or try to find an archived older one. And what (free) programmes do people use to completely remove old drivers?
Thanks guys.
