| Re: New ForceWare 158.19 Drivers Whoa, what happened to, well, anything between 101.xx, and this? Are the drivers so massively better than the previous ones that they had to add over 50 to the driver version?

| Re: New ForceWare 158.19 Drivers ^^the most recent 7 series drivers were/are 93.71, according to nVidia's website. although you can find newer (and likely better) versions if you look around, lol. they dont, to my knowledge, support the 8 series cards.

| Re: New ForceWare 158.19 Drivers My score went down again, I'm using two eVGA 8800 GTX Ko's. I love them but **** I need some good drivers... So far no crashes though! That's good. Before my monitors would just up and go black and have to reboot the pc. |
