Nvidia 8800 GT Drivers-Still hangs up and texture corrupts

HelloweenHelloween Registered User regular
edited June 2008 in Moe's Stupid Technology Tavern
Hey guys

Running version 6.14.0011.7176. I cant for the life of me find (if there is one) an update for it. Any ideas where to look? I did try Nvidia's site with no luck.

Basically keep getting some Hang ups in games followed by texture loss/swaps/corruption. No idea why though (unless its the driver issue).

Any help would be brilliant.

    I downloaded some Beta 175.16 Beta drivers. Worth a look?

    It's not Mass Effect is it?

    No not this time. It's Bioshock and The Witcher.

    Ok, Still does it. Hangs up for about 5 seconds then textures get messed up.

    Any ideas?

    It might be bad memory on the card. Try downclocking it with rivatuner. If it works fine with that, send it to the company as a RMA.

    Yeah doesn't sound like a driver issue. What sort of PSU are you running with the card? Also check the caps on that sucker.
