wait a bit... these are old. they were released a while ago, at the same time as the 162.22, and posted here on TPU then...

Actually Mussels i had posted the 1st revision of the 163.11 Forceware a while ago and i also posted this revision yesterday.

a new revision of the same driver? gah!

any changes? 163.11 was overall pretty good for my GTX, but it had a few shadow bugs in stalker.

HellasVagabond · Aug 3, 2007

Can't seem to find a difference but i doubt NVIDIA would release it with no differences at all.

Will this work on my GeForce Go 7300 vid card in my Acer 9420?

HellasVagabond · Aug 3, 2007

From what i can see in the nv_disp it doesnt support Notebook cards.

Mussels · Aug 3, 2007

BoB the fishy: you'll need modded drivers for that, i beleive a good site is www.laptop2go.com

not sure on the site, i think thats it.

HellasVagabond · Aug 3, 2007

www.tweaksrus.com make modded drivers as well.

As much as I hate to admit it, Nvidia has been on a driver releasing binge lately and that is all good news!!

HaZe303 · Aug 3, 2007

Maybe these have just some security fixes, or stability fixes??? Maybe the old 163.11 had some issues we dont know of. Otherwise the version number would be like 163.12 or something?
