Forceware 61.76

Well the latest graphic drivers have taken the highest mark to date going back to the early 50.xx drivers with my 5800 Ultra. I've been doing Aquamark scores of all released drivers with my 5800 Ultra since it's release and the latest WHQL drivers have taken the highest mark for me to date with a FPS: 41.

Obviously Nvidia is finally doing something right with their drivers - I'll be happy with any extra FPS they can muster up...

I don't have 3DMark - of any version can't give you that result...

How does the 6800 Ultra do in Aquamark3???

I'm still debating on getting a PNY 6800 Ultra in near future...

With SP2 v2162 and Nvidia drivers while playing Battlefield Vietnam I receive many exe errors for that game and I've been getting many blue screens with all the beta versions I've been using up to this latest WHQL'ed version.

I still get them but not as many as I did with the beta versions - it's always the nvidia driver causing the BSOD's - still not quite sure what causes the bfvietnam.exe application error though?

It's always the nv4_mini.sys file that blows up...

I'll be happy when I can do a fresh and complete re-install with a slipstreamed SP2.

I'm using a slipstreamed v2162 installed over top of the v2149...

I do not over clock anything on my system everything is set to stock settings.

System is set to 200MHZ FSB and I have no other errors with hardware period - just the video card drivers keep blowing up and from what I've read on EA's forums about BFV is that many people are seeing the same .exe errors as I am and think it's the latest patch of 1.02 for that game that is the cause of that.

The BSOD's I think personally is because my system went nuts a few weeks ago for no reason where everything on my computer came up as if nothing was installed and all the items became .lnk files.

I did a repair with a slipstreamed SP2 v2162 and that fixed whatever caused the main problem mentioned above but now these BSOD's just pop up whenever they feel like it but sometimes even when my computer is sitting idle doing nothing - I have the monitor turn off but all my computers run 24/7 - 365 days a year and sometimes when I wake up in morning there is the BSOD sitting there because I unchecked the box to have Auto Restart so that way I can see what is causing the problems - before they would just reboot system and I could not see what it was but now I know it's the video drivers or hardware...

Here is the error i get:

fatal exception @ 0028:co23DB3B in VXD VDD(09) + 00001803

maybe there is a setting i should be changing? They seemed to work otherwise but i uninstalled them as soon as i found out they screwed up my game.
