Hi us3r,

Are you having problems with the 180.48 drivers? If not, I suggest that you keep using them.

i have been using the 180.48 for couple of days or more and didnt face any problems yet:)) but i had to use a MODDED INF file to get driver installed,cause its original file dont listing my card,though 176.47 was released especially for latest mobile video cards and desktops,including mine.
so i wonder if the dedicated driver would give me a better performance

Using 180.48 on my dual GTX 260s in SLI and I can't say I have really noticed a *major* improvement* - but then again, I don't think I really have games that are going to push those cards in the first place....

I'll be more than glad to take one of your cards, try SLI with my GTX260 and take them for a test ride and post back... ;)

But I digress... I have the 180.48 as well and I didn't notice any performance or improvements with my ECS 8800GT (just got the GTX260, not installed yet).

Now, if your card calls for the previous one and you didn't have I problem with it, I would revert back to it only if the 180.48 would give me any problems.

I have had no problems with the 180.48.
I was using 178.13 and after installing 180.48 I noticed a nice improvement in Stalker & Crysis using a 8800GT.
Got about a 5-8FPS average improvement in FPS in both games.

Doesn't sound like much but when I was getting only about 21-23 FPS average with most everything maxed in 1600X1200 then an extra 5-8FPS is actually A LOT, enough to make the game playable.

You can have both - as long as you *first* mail me replacement GTX 280s :P

Perhaps that is why I haven't seen anything yet - the increase with my hardware is negligible?

I would say that is a fair assessment.
