Just had a crash with these new drivers (after I had turned on Tesselation).

Without the scaler, don't HDMI-DVI connections show up as using only a portion of the screen? (That is, the number of pixels they are using - so you'd have a large black border).

Possibly a dumb question: Can I install the hotfix drivers on W7-64 bit since they aren't WHQL? Or would I have to do one of the hacks to allow it?

One thing I've seen consistently in reports of dying cards is Vista/W7-64 bit. Maybe that version of the driver is the only bad one?

My 8800GT that died recently (just after upgrading to 191.07) was running completely stock. It was an NVidia reference board bundled with a Dell.

Yeah it'd be very weird for windows service problems to be caused by video drivers. Sounds like your system isn't handling your overclocking very well. Stock speeds for a couple days is a good test.

So I'm getting my first ever ATI card (5850) in a couple of days, and these threads have me wondering what is the best set of drivers to install on Win7-64? I'm getting an XFX Black Edition that is "overclocked." Does this just mean the drivers they bundle it have it pre-set for higher clock...

Dammit.. Newegg didn't ship my card out yesterday. Another day of delays before I can go back to playing games. (My 8800GT has been 191.07'd and can't run games currently).

I jumped on the Black edition, only because I'm in dire need of a video card. Since 191.07 killed my 8800GT, I am unable to game so I jumped when I was able to order a 5850. Oh well... normally I would have held out for one of the ones that was "only" $309.

Oops posted in wrong thread.

I guess I'll call them tomorrow to cancel and grab one from Newegg when they are available again. Does anyone know if the offbrands like PowerColor & HIS come with molex-PCIE power adapters? I think my power supply only has one. I've seen it in the photos for some of the brands (Sapphire...

Did yours ship? Mine sat in "Processing" all day after they verified my CC with a phone call, but now says "All Backordered." Dammit.

Had this same issue just happen to me this week. I've been running a 8800GT for almost 2 years now (came with my Dell XPS 420). I upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit, and have been playing lots of Dragon Age the past 2 weeks. A few days ago, I got my first BSOD. After getting it again while playing...
