Maybe. What do you have? I have the 8800GT and it offers the new drivers. _________________ ________ Author {uZa}HiTechRedneck Physco Killa Joined: 29 Jan 2007 Posts: 807 Back to top Message Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 2:24 am    Post subject: 178.24 for me too...

I am running an EVGA 8600GTS... Yeah, I just went and looked. Seems the new drivers are just for the 8800 and up at this point. Strange. Usually all the 8xxx series cards use exactly the same driver. _________________ ________ Author {uZa}Canadian Girl Post Ho Joined: 22 Oct 2005 Posts: 11776 Back to top Message Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:11 am    Post subject: How do you tell which one you have? _________________ Author {uZa}Lonesome Eagle Site Admin Joined: 21 Oct 2005 Posts: 5004 Back to top Message Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:17 am    Post subject: {uZa}Canadian Girl wrote: How do you tell which one you have? Two methods: 1) Shut down, unplug the computer, open the case. Disconnect the cable to the monitor, then remove the little screw on the card that it was attached to. Touch something metal to make sure you don't have any static electricity buildup. Remove the card. Make sure you have good light, then examine the card. Somewhere on it will be an nVidia logo and the model number. It will say 8600GT or 7600GTS or 8800GT or something. 2) Go to Control Panel, select "System", then on the left look for "Device Manager". Under devices, look for "Display Adapter". The model of video card will be there. _________________ ________ Author {uZa}Amok Post Ho Joined: 19 May 2006 Posts: 17367 Back to top Message Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:19 am    Post subject: I use the free FileHippo update checker.

Another good one (I like it even better) is SUMo (see my software thread, last post). _________________ ________ Author {uZa}HiTechRedneck Physco Killa Joined: 29 Jan 2007 Posts: 807 Back to top Message Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 1:56 pm    Post subject: I prefer my method...
