Hey guys, I've found that the 160 set of drivers (160.01 to 169.21) really do not like WoW!

Here's a simple solution that will help many people avoid many problems, and if nothing else, it will boost your performance with DX9 applications like WoW.

First things first, we need to get your old drivers out of your PC. This is simple.

Add\Remove programs, and remove nVidia drivers. Let it uninstall, then download this:

Run it, and select "nVidia display drivers" and hit okay. Windows will force you to restart, which is fine. You will notice things looking ugly and your resolution will be awful.

Now, we need to get new drivers into your PC, so go here:

Please note that these drivers are for Windows XP and that the Vista ones can be easily found by typing "Windows vista 174.74 nvidia drivers" into google and hitting the first link. These will work with all cards in the 6000, 7000, 8000, and 9000 series.

Install those, restart, your PC will be all pretty and happy! Next, on to the WoW fixing.

Launch the game, log in, and go into sound options. Turn off reverb sound and hit okay. Restart your PC one last time, and your game should run fine with no lockups or crashes as these drivers are 110% compatible with WoW!

Hope this helps some people.

Q u o t e:



Is there anywhere like BestBuy or CompUSA I can buy the cables that hook up from my video card to my power supply? (Seems 1 of the two connectors is damaged some how...)

Those types of connectors exist. Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812887001

<- Owner of over 3 NVIDIA cards. No issues on any of them. Worked on 2 shiny 8800GTX's this weekend building computers for friends with no issues either. Gave 'em a test thru Gruul's.

It's more like a couple of us there are in the same guild and had a raid. We ended up building 3 computers and one felt like throwing a fit and kept BSOD'ing on Windows startup. We couldn't go home in time for the raid so we stayed there for the duration of the raid.
