These drivers give a flashing line down the lhs of the screen in "F1 Challenge 99-02" which sucks. The detect optimal frequencies overclocking feature doesn't even run for me now and the manual overclocking will not complete any test of overclocked settings. i.e. even testing at stock speeds fails!

Think I'm going back to the 77.50 drivers, they seem to have been the best so far for my setup.

They give me about the same bench scores as the 71.89 WHQL's but seem to have better IQ and smoother game play for me in Doom3 and Far Cry

While they may yeild better results with certain games, there's quite a few games that they cause system crash/reboot with. UT2k4 and Guild Wars as well as quite a few others. I had to roll back my roommate's machine because the drivers were constantly crashing the system.

I do not recommend the use of these drivers. They're littered with problems.
