Anyway, I'll be sure to test them when Im at my pc (round a friends atm)

This is most odd, odd that no one has tested these yet! Even on the other hardware forums I visit, they too have had no feedback... i smell a rat!

I dont think these are a new set, I read something about it on anandtech I think.

Maybe a site out to get hits?

Here we go:

FW 73.00 => 44,4 fps

Who would have thought that?

The brake has gone.

FW 77.13 => 44,3 fps
FW 76.44 => 44,2 fps

The results in UT2004 and Painkiller are very impressive.
Also good news for those that have sound-problems with ForceWare 76.44 & co: they are gone with this one. 73.00 runs without problems either.

Raff_3DC, thanx for your time and effort. I'll be trying these now.

I've run through a couple of applications.
Aquamark3, 3dmark03, 3dmark05, Far Cry benchmark gave me higher numbers. IQ is great, haven't seen any probs, temps are the same as 71.89whql.

Hi Guys, your help is needed!

I just installed the new Forcware 77.13 Beta Drivers.
Those drivers work pretty good and i even got an improvement in both 3DMark03 and 3DMark05.

The problem is that the only place i could download them was from GURU3D site and it seems that this is the "International" version (not the "English" one).

After installation, i discovered that my whole Display Drivers GUI is in my origin language (which is very annoying, to me).

I wonder if is there a way to change the GUI Language back to English???

I want the easiest solutions, please!!! (I've heard some suggestions, to uninstall, change regional settings to US, re-install, and then change my regional setting to what i want).

Your help is welcome, 10x.

The work well so far for me.

These drivers work very good for me, 05 benchmark's were higher than the 71.89's, 72.12's, 73.00's 76.45's and a little lower than the 76.44's and 76.50's but overall gameplay and IQ was smooth and fps were higher in Doom3 and Far Cry
