ma ke ce scritto in ita?

[Duron]

che devo tradurre per caso?????

apprate gli aumenti di prestazioni su crysis, sono tutti piccoli bug che vengono risolti con questa nuova revisione di driver...........

[Sheriff]

aggiornato nVidia driver normali ed i beta per i portatili. aggiornato anche Realtek HD e AC'97 per Vista

[jonajams]

una domanda: per un portatile vanno meglio i driver ufficiali o quelli indipendenti?

[Stalker072]

in che senso indipendenti? cmq gli ufficiali

[Sheriff]

una domanda: per un portatile vanno meglio i driver ufficiali o quelli indipendenti?

meglio gli ufficiali dato che finalmente si sono decisi a farli.

[jonajams]

no, ricordo che in passato c'erano i driver non ufficiali, che spesso erano migliori degli originali. mi chiedevo se era ancora così

[Sheriff]

gli omega per le ati e gli forcequalcosa per gli nvidia vero ?!?

[Duron]

si, ora come ora non sono sempre meglio....... per asempio adesso ci sono gli x-treme sia ati, che nvidia, ma non sempre son migliori........

Non mi pare sia stato detto finora, vi segnalo che sono usciti i Forceware 182.08 WHQL ufficiali ( Qui per Vista 64bit ) e i Forceware 181.71 Beta per Windows 7, completi di PhysX ( Qui per Win 7 64 bit ), sono i primi che non si installano automaticamente via Windows Update, ora Nvidia sta cominciando a supportare maggiormente il nuovo Win.

[Sheriff]

grazie, aggiorno poi a pranzo
