nvidia keeps pumping out drivers.

heres a quote
Is it me or Far Cry just got a huge boost with these drivers? It now says Vertex shaders version 3.0 and Pixel shaders version 3.0 in the console screen in Far Cry version 1.1 I wonder if the 2.0 shaders are being converted to 3.0 to increase speed.

This appears to be the first set of drivers than enables SM3.0 support on the 6800.

im still wondering on the performance boost.
 
We will still need the 1.2 patch, as with 1.1 the game is still stuck in nv3x mode even with these new drivers. Plus I'm not even sure there are even any sm3.0 shaders in v1.1.
 
well we can get a sample of 9.0c from that sp2 RC. we got the drivers now. all we need now is crytek's farcry 1.2 patch lol.

edit: ah you beat me tranCendenZ lol

If you installed sp2 rc2 you have dx9.0c, they are integrated

to test, run "dxdiag" and on the first page it will say version of directx installed at the bottom

Awesome thanks,
 
Woah. I'd be very scared to run that DirectX version. Until they release the final product, I will stay clear. If it's from Microsoft and "beta", which I'll guess this is, I'll pass. :eek:
 
I have been running the latest SP2 with 9.0c for about 3 weeks. So far I am amazed how problem free it has been so far. But I would still only reccomend it for the brave. Unless you are one of Microsofts official beta testers you will not get any support for problems it may cause. When the final release comes (Aug./ Sept) they will offer free support. Which they did not when SP1 was released.
