People are saying that nVidia has fixed the temperature bug...so give em a try and report back ppl.

If they have not then I suggest yelling heartily at them and then looking less favorably on there driver support, as I am beginning to do.

do they work with 6 series?

mike2h · Mar 11, 2005, 04:04 PM

the temp bug is there. these are 7184 drivers. until they release a driver that is made after mar 8th the temp issue will be around.
fyi the mar 8th date is not written in stone. so keep your fingers crossed

This issue will be fixed in the next driver release.

if you're going to live with the temp bug, you might as well use the 75.90s or 76.10s.

I installed these yesterday, the temp bug was there, I don't care anymore, I do have gurantee on my card.

My scores are 5874 in 3D Mark 05, 13800 in 3D Mark 03 and 71200 in Aquamark. The IQ is just as good as the 67.66 I used before.

The strangest thing though is that now my idle temp is 53??? Just like the bug had dissapeared.

i cant believe that after 4 months of waiting nvidia released a driver with so many bugs.anyway since the zeropoints drivers r so good i'll never use official drivers again.
