    how did you use the 174.16 with the 8800gt ?

  3. KTR Says:

    That is very interesting. When the 9600GT runs at a unplayable FPS (below 30FPS), the 8800GT is also runs below 30FPS.

  4. Jeff Says:

    @guillaume,
    edit nv4_disp.inf, add your card’s device ID and you can make it run

  5. FW Says:

    Need to rebench with the latest official 174.53 WHQL drivers for 9600GT. Also the latest 174.74 leaked drivers supports all GF6/7, GF8 and GF9 without needing to mod the inf.

    uhm don’t wanna sound off topic but, quad sli drivers should be out by now? what’s the deal

  7. Edd Says:

    >> So do you like pay 33% more to trade 12% better SLI performance?

    How about $230 for 9600GT and $270 for 8800GT? :P

    With your prices no different absolutelly! $100 – is NOT different.
    But other countries with other prices exists to. ;)

  8. NV Says:

    Nvidia has released 174.74 officially on nvidia.com, can retest G92 and G96 with these new drivers?

  9. Jeff Says:

    @Edd, coz so many countries out there, so we have use newegg to compare.

    eg. in our local market(china), the 96GT is only 25% cheaper than 88gt.

    where do you live Edd? The price is so…..high..

    [...] Why spend over $100 more for only 12% gaming performance vs 2 x9600GT, the cards can also be overlcocked to be < 2 x 8800GT Take a look a theses charts [...]

    Hi guys was wondering how to enable sli in the drivers for my m3a32-mvp mobo with my two 8800gt,s ? you can send directly to my e mail if you like hod333@hotmail.com thanks much

  12. Jeff Says:

    are you sure you are going to run two 8800GT with M3A32? it is a 790FX chipset which did not support SLI…

  13. Steve Says:

    Hi yes this board is dual pci and is capable of sli ..Its just in the driver than nvidia gives out that enables/disables the option..And this all comes down to which company has payed for the sli option..

  14. EdmonCU Says:

    Please publish an update using the latest 174.74 forceware drivers.

  15. steve Says:

    EdmonCU are you talking to me? if so how do you publish an update using the latest 174.74 drivers?

  16. EdmonCU Says:

    steve, nope. im referring to the one who wrote the article.

    however, Xbitlabs has released a review comparing 9600GT in SLI over 8800GTS 512mb and 9800GTX.
