    New Nvidia vista drivers :-) Don't work :-(

    Ok so checking the nvidia website a few days ago (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_162.22.html ) realise they had new vista drivers for the 8 series so i clicked on the international driver link for UK ..... Page not found?
    So, thought i'd try other nations to see if it was just UK but it appears all international drivers are getting 'page not found.
    Then over at the silent hunter 4 forum noticed that some one had already made a post about the drivers saying it didn't work properly
    http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...5/m/8001009775
    So What on earth is going on over there at nvidia?
    Anyone else manage to get them yet, and what are they like?

    First link is US English operating systems only (only one that works) So only americans get it at the moment.

    All it means is that there's a few spelling issues in the Control Panel... the drivers themselves are identical.

    Anyway, here's the International ones: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winvi...162.22_uk.html

    The international 162.22 is what I'm using at the moment. I've not had any problems with them so far.

    I never download the international package, for two reasons:

    1. Its alot smaller
    2. Its no different to the international really. Its the driver that counts, not the spelling.

    The latest driver is 162.22 and it appears to work well, no probs so far and the glitching from the start of Pro evo 6 games has gone.
    Can't of been driver probs with the SH4 thread on this.

    I'm using the 162s- work fine for me.

    The title of this thread is misleading.

    I know.
    At the time i couldn't get nvidias web page to open the international driver so i couldn't try it for myself, and there were people saying on the SH4 forum it gave them problems in the game.
    My apologies everyone, they appear to work!
    But can't edit the title!
