Problems with latest Nvidia drivers.
 

Since installing the 180.48 drivers, which were billed as offering substantial performance increases, I am getting flickering on water reflections and smoke, in all the games I play. (1946, SH4, Far Cry 2)

Anyone else see this?

Just wondering if it's a config problem on my end or if the drivers are indeed not so hot.

Using an 8800 GTS (G92) 512mb.....and yes smoke and water flicke, as do the airfields....all with latest dll.

174.74....
 

8800 GT OC 512:
174.74 is what I stick with. I have tried most of them and including the ones I dld last week which had loads of texture flicker/defect. None were as clean as 174.74 and incidentially none were an improvement in FPS nor visual quality.

Try the 174.74. Note that periodically even the 174.74 exibit a minute bit of flicker but it is rare and less than any other I have tried. None of the drivers are flawless some are significantly less so.
