NVIDIA Confirms GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB Bug

Users with all kinds of setups have been reporting problems, affecting some GeForce 8800 cards, and particularly the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB. According to users from NVIDIA, eVGA, NVNews, Rage3F and Guru of 3D forums, the problem causes random slowdowns, often halving frame rates until the user alt-tabs out of the game and back in again. The problem doesn't appear to be tied to any particular hardware configuration, Windows version, or display setting. NVIDIA Technical Marketing Director Nick Stam confirmed today that NVIDIA is aware of this issue, and new drivers will be released some time in July to fix the problem.

Sweet, because I was playing F.E.A.R. with max settings smoothly then it bogged down to 5fps and everything went black...

kentarokaosAre you sure this particular driver fixes the issue for you? It's version is before the BETA 162.18... And I know for sure that one doesn't fix the problem.

Has anyone tried any of the tweaked XTreme-G drivers from tweaksrus.com?
I KNOW it is before the 162.18 driver BUT IT DID fix that problem for me. And no I haven't tried that drivers yet
