    Exactly. If it ain't outdated, don't upgrade it. That's my motto when it comes to gaming and it's served me well. :p

      These drivers caused my computer to randomly crash when playing BF2 and I did uninstall the old ones first.

      Went back to 78.01 no problems with these drivers. :)

            I don't think you guys know the difference between uninstalling and fully cleaning the drivers from your system. You could very well end up with problems if you neglect a clean install of your drivers each time you update.

            Read either of these guides, based on what type of GPU you have, for more info:




            Or download Driver Cleaner, which will do the deleting and registry cleaning for you. Make sure you uninstall the existing drivers, then reboot in safe mode to run DC.

            I upgraded to the 81.85 driver, and I saw a noticable change in the smoothness of the game. The random stuttering occurances I've been having have disappeared as far as I can tell so far.

            Remember, you can say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", but ya gotta remember, these drivers are optimized specifically for new software, and it would be a really good bet that the driver authors took BF2 into account.

                    Ok.. I will do a clean install and see if it is working. I got frustrated last night trying to redo my config again. Had everything just perfect the way I wanted. Guess I had to learn the hard way. Thanks for the info.

                        I'm not going to touch any drivers again until I get a chance to do a completely new reinstall of Winblows.
