^Me being on the ball again :p

Noteable Fixes:
Paint Shop Pro working correctly with dual core processors
Serious Sam 2 dual core and water reflection problems fixed
KOTR 1 and 2 fixed for dual core
Support for high definition H.264 hardware decode acceleration on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs

Sounds like it might fix more dual core problems than it lists, but whatever...

Can someone else confirm this? I'm not getting anything in BF2...
 
I have another problem. If I run WMV-HD or H.264 in Media Player 10 or Quicktime 7 I get this:



I had this problem with the 83.90 too.

How can I fix this?
Other videos or DVDs are working. I installed the newest Pure Video too.

Thanks!

I am curious, what do you watch in HD?
 
If you get one of the ultimate terminator 2 dvd's or was it extreme? I forget but one of them has the entire movie in hd format which is really nice although the drm on it stinks up really bad. There was times were I couldn't play my movie no matter what. It was through a html kinda setup and whenever i tried to click the button to start the verification or whatever it would just reload the page. I havn't tried it in awhile though and having Intervideo's software installed just to watch it kinda sucks.
 
*update to previous post I made about Battlefield 2 problems.

I had to change some of the settings I had under the Forceware control panel and now all is well. Gained about 10-15FPS by changing an SLi rendering setting also! :)

Which setting did you change and what was it to?
 
im getting shimmering on the roofs in cod2 on ultra high 2x/4x supersample ta. other textures look great, they did some good improvments in image quality otherwise.

I was never able to change the SLi rendering mode, couldn't ever get Coolbits to work and it was always stuck in Single GPU Rendering and finally changed it to SLi Multi-GPU.
 
Haven't had the time yet to check out how the new drivers perform with my games...

However, they fixed the HD Component out problem I've been having ever since I got this card. And it looks outstanding.

One question, as far as that is concerned, though: Where's overscan compensation for 480i?
 
Nice. these seem to have fixed the "TOCA 3 locks for 15 seconds then keeps going" bug.
 
Got these babies installed, everything seems good so far. Played some Q4 and FEAR this past weekend, everything was great. FEAR especially ran good. x2 2.5ghz/1gb/7800gt

this happen during gameplay? or just a menu?
im running 81.98 and havent experienced this with Toca 3

Does this solve the nv4_disp.dll error?

Out of curiosity, what firewall are you running? When I disabled Application Behaviour Blocking in Kerio, I stopped getting BSoDs. I know I was getting some nv4_disp.dll BSoDs, but I was also getting some none-nv4_disp.dll BSoDs and I haven't gotten any BSoDs at all since then.
