Nvidia 175.19's pulled

The above drivers are no longer available from the Nvidia website.
Seems they had a slight problem with them, ie. reduced frames in testing and
benches.
They have left the 175.16's available, even though people have reported
minor problems with them.

Just rechecked the web site and definitely not there.

What specifically were the problems? They're working fine here.
MSI/Nvidia 8800Gts 512MB
E8400 oc'd to 3.4 GHz
ASUS P5E-VM HDMI G35 chipset
2GB 2x1 Corsair XMS DDR2 1066 mem.

They have left the 175.16's available, even though people have reported
minor problems with them.

These actually gave me some minor stuttering playing UT2004; which
was fixed by going to the 175.19s.

A number of people have had more than minor problems....I can't recall the
last time they've done this. People who had issues with the 175.16's
reported better results with the 175.19's. Ah well, at least they don't
release new monthly bloatware versions for no apparent reason like the
Crapalysts...err ...Catalysts.

The 175.19s are probably the best drivers I've used on a GeForce8 class
card yet while the 175.16's were undeniably the worst and I have used
*all* of them.

The irony of that have swirled in me a perfect storm of astonishment. I
can't wait to see the next act in the NVidia tragi-comedy.

Dollars to donuts, it's DRM related.

I'm getting better performance out of 175.19's. I'll stick with
them.

Cheers,
Rod.

Thanks. A quick browse and it seems to be related to multiple GPU's
for the most part. It'll be enlightening to see if Nvidia comes
clean with what went wrong.

Bill

they're still there...
