Just tried it with the x800 in my sig. With 3dMark06, I received the same score at stock clocks with 7.4 as I did overclocked with 430/401 with 7.3 (1296 in Vista x64). Not bad!

And so do I

So far no problems

mandelore · Apr 19, 2007

now if i could figure out why i get "cannot find any installable compenents" error when installing any cat drivers in vista i may install these.. having to just use the raw driver and traytools

Casheti · Apr 19, 2007

Just installed them now, but display drivers only. Should I install CCC or do I not really need it? Never bothered to install it with 7.3 either.

DrunkenMafia · Apr 19, 2007

They seem to be going ok for me sor far... I will do a bench this arvo when I get home to see if there is any improvement........

Joshmcmillan · Apr 19, 2007

I installed it, seems the same except it fixed a bug I was having in CCC before, havn't ran any benchmarks.

Protius · Apr 19, 2007

i just got vista ultimate installed today so i decided to try these, games run really good, but if i try and enable crossfire i get a bsod hmmmm.....

Dual GPU drivers don't really seems to be ready on vista.
nVidia couldn't get SLI going on the 8800s either...:shadedshu

Tried 7.4 from 7.2

My only test, CS:Source, and i went from 151.8 FPS to 150.6FPS. Huge diff

Hmmm, tested FEAR...

7.4:
Min:26
Average:56
Max:137

7.2:
Min:26
Average:57
Max:138

Nice 15-30% increase :wtf:

i posted the download before everyone else if am not mistaking :roll:

zekrahminator · Apr 19, 2007

I installed it, no blue-screens. I haven't had the time to test any games, though. And I'm definitely not benchmarking...if I notice anything odd, I'll post it.

tkpenalty · Apr 19, 2007

Seems pretty stable

. I'll try HL2 EP1... I bet $50 the game will crash!

DRDNA · Apr 19, 2007

lol i just uninstalled 7.3 and installed 6.12 as they are stable on my system but the 7.3's are not stable on my system.Good luck with the 7.4's :toast:

I got a 36 point jump in 3dmark06 from 7.2 - 7.3, going from 7.3 - 7.4 I got a 8 point jump, not as much but it aint gone down, all other settings in my rig were exactly the same

WarEagleAU · Apr 19, 2007
