Default New 77.77 from nVIDIA

Just thought I would let everyone know the new drivers are out and seem to be working great for GW. Haven't had any problems with them at all.

Installed these drivers, and played for alil on my xfx 6600gt, didn't crash like it normaly does, but i didn't play very long being 1:30am and all.
I'll play some more after i wake up

(still pisses me off that i can play much better looking and blah blah as long as i want with no crashes. play gw for 30 minutes and it hard locks my computer to a black screen -_- owell. can still play my awesome hl1 mods)

I played for about 2.5 hours and not a problem in sight. It is about time nvidia got a set of drivers right. The last ones caused me to blue screen everytime I logged out of GW.

Looks like nVidia did these drivers correctly this time around... no problems after a few hours of non-stop game play.

This might not be a video driver issue.

What system specs/CPU are you running?
