Updated audio drivers. Version 1.82 is out. I really don’t like that Realtek doesn’t keep a good release history to see what’s new or changed. Anyway, here they are.

Unattended usage:
setup.exe -s -f2<path\LogFile> -z[-rp<path\LogFile>]
example:
setup.exe -s -f2C:\mylog.log -z[-rpC:\RHDSetup.log]

Here comes an update for the Catalyst drivers.

I havent tried this new version to see if there is something important to talk about. However, in the release notes  there are various applications and game issues that are fixed.

  XP | Vista

Another update to ForceWare. This time is version 169.09 Beta.

The major change in this release is that the “Stretched Water Reflection” in Crysis Demo is fixed.
For a complete list of fixes and remaining known issues read the release notes.

 Vista | XP

A new version has been released. I always get them to keep my audio updated with the latest version available.

If you experience problems with drivers, use Guru 3D Driver Sweeper after you have uninstalled your current drivers to clean the system before installing the new ones. You can do this right in you windows session or in Safe Mode.

Unattended usage:
setup.exe -s -f2<path\LogFile> -z[-rp<path\LogFile>]
example:
setup.exe -s -f2C:\mylog.log -z[-rpC:\RHDSetup.log]

Here comes another update for Nvidia drivers. This version is final and has WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) certification which means that this drivers are signed and are approved by Microsoft.

However, the latest Beta version 169.04 is still recommended for Crysis Single-Player Demo and for TimeShift. If you have this games, use the latest Beta.

You can read the release notes for each driver version to see the list of fixed issues and remaining issues that have to be fixed in a later release.

Quote from Nvidia:

NVIDIA® nTune is the ultimate utility for accessing, monitoring, and adjusting your system components, including temperature and voltages with clear, user-friendly control panels. Overclock your system for highest performance or underclock it for near silent operation. All changes are performed within the Microsoft® Windows® interface – enabling full functionality without the need to make changes in the BIOS and reboot your system.

The Nvidia nTune page doesn’t show this new version yet, but you can get it from several locations.

Note: The downloaded file name says it is for XP but it works with Windows Vista.

Well, it seems that someting went wrong with 169.02 releases. Now Nvidia shows on the drivers page a new version. It is marked now properly as Beta.

According to the release notes they added more compatibility for games and it is also recommended for those playing the crysis demo.

I just saw at FileForum that Nvidia has released a new set of drivers for both Vista and XP.
This drivers are WHQL Candidate as stated on Nvidia’s download page so i think they are not a Beta release.

The Download Drivers page at Nvidia’s website doesn’t show them either as Beta or Final but you can get them at the link below.

Maybe Nvidia didn’t rolled them out because they are waiting to get them WHQL certified but I’m trying them since the last beta released had some odd behavior on some games.
