Is the 77.77 nvidia driver good?

[theholylancer]

I have, in the past heard people talk about that the last driver (72.** i think) was bad and slows the system down alot, is the newest (formally beta) 77.77 good?

Supposedly from what I've seen the 77.77 is causing problems go with the 77.76 which seems to be the same but without the glitches.

Funny considering the 77.77 are the W.H.Q.L. drivers. :lol:

hmmm, why is nvidia giving out all these half finished gliched drivers?! i mean they are a big company right?

I have heard about omega drivers, are they good?

and lastly where could i get some older nvidia drivers that was nice, and if so which version should i get?

Omegas are great... for ATi. He has help from them.

His nV releases are usually quite slow and behind the rest.

I'd recommend the NGOdrivers or ZeroPoint.

One of the best locations for drivers for both is Guru3D;

I've had a few serious problems with the 7.7.7.7 drivers and downgraded to 7.1.8.9 which were the last decent ones and very fast in my opinion.

with the 7.7.7.7 i was getting this "blur" effect in games while running at 1600x1200 that would have textures update slower than others so it appeard to warp on my screen and caused me headaches. the effect disapeared when i downgraded

hmm where could i get the 7.1.8.9? i think that someone said that 7.1.*.* was good (only remember 7.1 part )
