I'm currently using 182.50 so I'm curious if anyone has gotten any of the newer ones to work?
Nope - In the last 72 hours I've tried:
180.xx MS download released : FAIL
190.56 from guru3d (reported to work) FAIL
190.57 from Nvidia developer area : FAIL
190.62 (latest( FAIL
190.89 Guru3d beta relase : FAIL
190.56 Tweaktown : FAIL
182.5 PASS -
There was a trick to getting 182.5 to even install.
Remove the driverd in device manager and reboot - then when it has it will pick up 186.xx automagically - DO NOT REBOOT > leave the reboot requester on screen.
whilst this is up, right click your vid card in device manage, go update, then manually select the 182.5 driver from the folders it unpacks to when you run it (if you've not run it make sure it's set to run Vista SP1 compatibility).
That should do it.
In order to get the control panel and physx etc I downloaded the individual tools and phys x packages for them and intstalled.
Everything is sweet.
Unless I see a guide PROVING something newer works, I don't believe it, as I wasted three days trying to follow the others and they simply don't work.
