62.01 is now out. dl it here

i'm running these on my 6800gt with mixed results. 3dmark03 score went down by 1000. used to get 12600 but now 11500. far cry performance is better though. i think that's a good trade off.
 
I've seen several reports of people saying they are getting quite a bit better Far Cry Performance on the new 62.01's.

I just got done trying out the 61.36's and i didn't like the results at all. When i tried to load Morrowind i got a horrid blue screen and a reboot that soon followed after. I had to uninstall them and go back to the 61.71's i was using before. So far the 61.71's seem to be some of the best.
 
ive been using the 61.71 since day one they have been working so well i havent even bothered with the others.

I am using the 61.71's and still have a rare (but not that rare) texture flash on certain textures, like some of the mountain sides when up close...it flashes from detailed to blurry brown, off and on...

I think I will try the 62.01's...as long as my games run good/better I could care less about 3DMark03 :D

In Far Cry? Most all of the IQ issues with Far Cry will be fixed in the 1.2 patch.

The sites that tested the 1.2 patch said the IQ for Far Cry was excellent with the new 1.2 patch. When using the 1.1 patch your 6800 is still using the old NV30 path. You can force the R300 path though and get the same IQ as the Radeon cards at a loss of performance.

Didn't bother doing the second run on the 62;01's it was obvious that there wasnt a change in framerate at 1600x1200 4xAA 8xAF
