ForceWare 185.20 Vista (32-bit )

^ These drivers are confirmed working for Windows 7 Ultimate build 7000 as well.

Interestingly enough, these new drivers contain a new Ambient Occlusion setting in the Nvidia Control Panel:

DirectX 10

2048 x 1152 (16:9)

AO MEDIUM (16.6fps)

AO HIGH (13.1fps)

3DMark Vantage results:

Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

Yes, the driver is supposed to be 55nm GT206 and 55nm GT200b ready. Quad-SLI support is unconfirmed at the moment, however.

woah the Ambient Occlusion really make the game look a lot more realistic O_O!

me3850 · Jan 1st, 09, 11:57 PM

Ambient Occlusion only for vista i don't find on xp32 :S

SoloWingPixy · Jan 2nd, 09, 12:03 AM

is it gonna make it more lag?

eternalkp · Jan 2nd, 09, 12:21 AM

nvidia promises a lot of things.
read the spec improvement of 180.48.
none of them are true.
i test farcry 2 and crysis...no such improvement.

Great news

We are testing the driver now. You can read in probably three hours a big test about the Geforce drivers at Hardware-Infos.

The test includes Geforce 177.34, Geforce 178.24, Geforce 180.48 and Geforce 180.98 Beta.
Following applications are tested @ 1680x1050, 1xAA / 1xAF, 1680x1050, 4xAA / 16xAF, 1920x1200, 4xAA / 16xAF and 1920x1200, 8xAA / 16xAF:

* 3DMark Vantage
* Assassin's Creed
* Call of Duty 4
* Crysis
* Dead Space
* Far Cry 2
* Left 4 Dead
* Stalker: Clear Sky

I will post the article here, when it goes online.

just installed on xp32. css fps seems smoother and iq improved

KonKorT · Jan 2nd, 09, 06:28 AM

The review is online. The 185.20 is a little bit faster than 180.48 and 180.98, but only around 1 per cent.

But: Look at the result in Stalker: Clear Sky with AA. There the driver is up to 70 per cent faster!

Hmmm, what does nvidias control panel has to do with AO? Different games run different codes, this will probably conflict somewhere.
