87.25 nvidia drivers

[AKshay87]

Has anyone tried the 87.25 beta drivers released by nvidia
any stability issues?
why are there so many files instead of just a single setup?

the prev one i tried - 84.20 worked perfectly

I have been running these drivers for about 3 days, had no stability issues and gained about 12 fps in FEAR and HL2. I am going to keep thes since the 84.43's were causing HL2 to crash for some reason.

where are you getting these from, the latest Beta ones I see at the nvidia site is 84.43

I'm running 84.21. From what I read briefly this 87.25 looks like its for quad SLI machines, so can I use them on a dual 7800GT setup? Is there somewhere I can read more about the 87.25 drivers?

no x64 version yet.

(edit) 84.56 still looks like the fastest set of the newer drivers according to his benchmarks: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=182990 and I already have 84.56 installed

Yes

Whats so special about these? Guru3d has diffferent nvidia beta driver up like every other day. I've held off on using anything other than Nzone betas because leaked betas are usually missing 1-2 things that are essential to me or break compatability in older games for new ones etc.

for one you can enable or disable the multi-core support (allows for testing performance differences or bugs)

I am running these drivers now and they seem ok so far.. I was having some issues with the 84.43's and some games, but these cleared those issues right up. so good so far.

EDIT: I see the section in the advanced settings for "threaded optimizations". cool beans.

I have been running them for the last few days and I have no problems. I am running with threaded optimizations enabled and it seems to have a more consistent frame rate in different games
