nVIDIA ForceWare 169.12 BETA Drivers Released

Post by Yoon »

For those that have nVIDIA-based graphics cards and are using a GeForce 6, 7 or 8-series, nVIDIA has released a beta driver this week, Forceware 169.12. This driver is not too much different from the last Forceware 169.09. This driver contains minor fixes in Windows Vista, mostly for the newly released GeForce 8800 GT Here are the links:

For those using laptops with nVIDIA GeForce Go 6, 7, or 8 cards, check here, courtesy of LaptopVideo2Go:

Installation Instructions:

1.) Unininstall the NVIDIA drivers from "Program Add/Remove"
2.) Install and Run Driver Sweeper with "NVIDIA Display" selected. (It's recommended to do this, so that left over data from old graphics drivers don't conflict with the new ones.)
3.) Restart the computer.
4.) Install the new Forceware drivers.
